PlayOn is where high school sports come to life. Through GoFan, NFHS Network, and MaxPreps, we give every fan a front-row seat to the moments that matter most: the buzzer-beaters, the comeback wins, the senior nights, the rivalries that define a town.
\n
We built our technology for the people who live and breathe high school athletics — the parents who never miss a game, the alumni still cheering from across the country, the communities that show up week after week. From buying tickets to watching a live stream to reliving the highlights, we make it simple to stay close to the sports and the athletes you love most.
\n
Backed by KKR, we build the technology that powers high school athletics from the inside out: Schools trust us to handle ticketing, streaming, fundraising, concessions, merchandise, and more so the people running programs can stay focused on the athletes and fans we all serve together.

We're a growth-stage company on a mission to make high school sports more accessible, more memorable, and more connected than ever before.

\n
• Cross-brand consistency: Deliver interactive AI features that work reliably across NFHS Network, GoFan, and MaxPreps, adapting to each brand’s UX patterns while sharing a common service layer.
\n
\n
•Build and ship human-in-the-loop interfaces that enable internal operators to review, correct, and approve AI-generated sports statistics in real time across thousands of concurrent live streams.
\n
• Design and develop fan-in-the-loop experiences — interactive highlights, live stat overlays, and engagement features — across NFHS Network, GoFan, and MaxPreps.
\n
• Own features end-to-end: from data modeling and API design through frontend implementation and production deployment. You’ll ship, not just spec.
\n
• Integrate AI/ML model outputs (computer vision, LLMs) into production applications, building the service layer between models and users.
\n
• Develop reusable Python service templates and UI component patterns that establish the team’s standard for AI-forward development.

\n
• Contribute to system design and architecture decisions within the streaming intelligence program. Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and technical documentation.
\n
• Help evaluate and integrate third-party tools and vendor APIs (annotation platforms, model serving infrastructure) as the platform scales.
\n
\n
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong Python skills and a track record of building production web applications and APIs.
\n
• Builder mentality — you’ve shipped end-to-end features from concept to production, not just maintained existing systems. You bias toward action and iterate quickly.
\n
• Experience integrating AI/ML models into user-facing applications (LLM APIs, computer vision pipelines, or similar). You understand the practical challenges of making model outputs useful to real people.
\n
• Solid fundamentals in API design, data modeling, and service architecture. You write clean, testable code and care about the systems you leave behind.
\n
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS EKS, S3) and modern data tooling (Snowflake, Kafka, or similar).
\n
• Strong communicator who works well across disciplines — you can talk to a product manager about user flows and a data scientist about model outputs in the same afternoon.
\n
• Bonus: frontend experience with React/TypeScript (especially interactive annotation or dashboard UIs), familiarity with sports data or video analytics, experience with annotation tooling (Roboflow, CVAT, Label Studio), or interest in developer experience and internal tooling.
\n
\n
Ownership over Participation – You take responsibility for delivering outcomes against real milestones: annotation review in production within six months, a fan-facing AI feature live within nine.
\n
Team over Stars – You partner across engineering, data, product, and external collaborators to make AI systems usable by the whole company and delightful for fans.
