Job description

A growing sports technology company is seeking a full-time WebGL Front End Developer to help build next-generation race tracking and analytics products.

Engineers will work on applications that process real-time telemetry and geospatial data, transforming complex information into intuitive user experiences for athletes and coaches.
This opportunity is ideal for developers who enjoy solving performance-intensive frontend challenges. Rather than building traditional business applications, this engineer will help create immersive replay systems, live tracking platforms, and analytics tools that resemble simulation and gaming experiences. The organization values engineers who can take ownership of their work, propose architectural improvements, and collaborate closely across product and backend teams.

  • Strong experience with TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks including React, Vue, or Svelte
  • Hands-on experience with WebGL, Three.js, WebGPU, Canvas, deck.gl, or similar technologies
  • Experience building data visualization applications
  • Understanding of WebSockets, real-time streaming, and event-driven systems
  • Ability to analyze and optimize application performance
  • Experience developing consumer-facing products
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Sports analytics or telemetry experience
  • Geospatial data visualization experience
  • Gaming, simulation, rendering, or VFX backgrounds
  • Timeline and replay system development experience
  • AI-powered product development experience
  • Flutter or Dart exposure
  • Go experience
  • Experience working with large-scale time-series datasets
  • Interest in performance analytics and sports technology

What You Will Be Doing

  • 60% TypeScript / Frontend Development
  • 20% Graphics Rendering & Visualization
  • 10% Real-Time Data Systems
  • 10% Performance Optimization
