Type: Full-time / Permanent Location Type: On-site Technology One app, every league night. The technology group builds the Brodie app for Brodie Rec. League, supporting a rapidly growing sports brand operating across 30+ North American cities and serving more than 50,000 athletes. Brodie League is more than a basketball league, it's a community. As one of North America's fastest-growing sports brands, Brodie League is redefining adult recreational basketball by delivering an elevated, professional-quality experience rooted in culture, competition, and community. Our mission is to make every league night the best night of the week for our athletes. Every week, 50,000+ athletes in 30+ cities rely on Brodie's technology: the Brodie app, game-day reminders, stats, highlights, challenges and the notifications that bring them back between game nights. That technology has grown as fast as the league has, and the next stage needs one leader across engineering and design. The VP of Engineering is that leader. You own how we build and how well it runs, and you help shape what we build next. The product is where athletes see their stats, highlights and progress between game nights, and the tools behind it decide how fast we can launch and run a recent city. Brodie already has an app engineering team, a Product Design Director and a product athletes use every week. You'll be a player-coach: close enough to the code to review a pull request and ship a fix, and senior enough to set one direction for engineering, product and design. Run a full assessment of Brodie's technology in your first 90 days: infrastructure, codebase, architecture, data, security posture and AI infrastructure Map tech debt, single points of failure and scaling risks,
and rank them by their impact on athletes and the business Turn the assessment into a 12-month technology roadmap with clear calls on what we keep, fix, rebuild, buy or retire Own security end to end: access control, secrets management, vendor risk, incident response, and the protection of athletes' personal data Set Brodie's AI infrastructure strategy: which models, platforms and vendors we build on, how we evaluate them, what they cost and how AI features ship safely Own the technology budget, including cloud spend, software and vendor contracts, and technology headcount Hands-on engineering A player-coach who still ships. Make the final call on architecture and major technical decisions, and document the reasoning Set the engineering standard: code review, testing, CI/CD, observability, documentation and release management Own reliability and performance, especially at peak moments like registration openings, game nights and season launches Make AI-assisted development part of how the team works every day, from coding and code review to testing and documentation Help decide what gets built. Own how it ships. Bring technical judgment to every product decision: scope, effort, trade-offs, sequencing and risk Run a product development process that takes features from problem to spec to shipped in fast cycles, timed to the league calendar: Slasher Season, Coldest Winter, Bracket Season and Brodie Summer Scale the Brodie app's engagement and retention features,
including progression, challenges and notifications, with our Growth and lifecycle/CRM teams Audit the tools and platforms Brodie runs on across Operations, Growth, Content and the rest of the business, and find where manual work, duplicate tools and broken handoffs slow teams down Decide what to build, buy, integrate or retire, and consolidate the stack where tools overlap Own the data foundation: connected, trustworthy data on athletes, teams, leagues and revenue that every team can use Bring AI and automation to the rest of the company: find the repetitive workflows, ship the fixes and give non-technical teams tools they can use safely Lead engineering, product and design as one group, with clear goals, clear ownership and an operating rhythm the rest of the company can rely on Hire, coach and grow the team, and set the hiring bar, career paths and performance expectations Decide the right mix of in-house engineers, contractors and agencies, and hold external partners to the same standard Represent technology on the leadership team and explain technical trade-offs in plain language Partner with our Product Design Director to hold design quality and accessibility to the same bar as code 10+ years in software engineering, including 5+ years building and leading engineering teams. You are senior enough to own Brodie's entire technology function on your own accountability ~ You still write code: strong hands‑on depth across mobile, backend services and APIs, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), enough to review a pull request as confidently as a roadmap ~ A security‑first track record: you have owned application and cloud security, access management and the protection of
