Original job description

ROLE MISSION

As Head of Engineering at UpNext, you'll own technical strategy and execution for the UpNext platform: the transfer portal intelligence tool used by college coaches nationwide to track transfer portal activity, build recruit lists, and evaluate roster needs. UpNext surfaces the signals that drive college athletics across every conference, every cycle, from portal activity and recruiting movement to agent representation and market trends. You'll partner with UpNext leadership and the founder to set the technical roadmap and turn priorities into shipped features. This is a foundational engineering hire, and you'll help define how engineering decisions get made as UpNext scales.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

ENGINEERING & PRODUCT DELIVERY

Own the architecture and technical roadmap end to end: prioritization, sequencing, and communicating status to leadership
Write production code across the stack, using AI coding agents to move faster
Ship features across core platform surfaces: Search, Smart Lists, Insights, Team Pages, Athlete Profiles, and the Activity Feed
Work with the founder to turn direction, prototypes, and coach feedback into scoped, shippable work
Build and improve LLM-powered features and automated workflows
Stay close to UpNext's core data pipeline (NCAA transfer portal data, JUCO data, AI-resolved transfer destinations, and emerging high school data sources), and evaluate new data providers to improve coverage and data integrity

STAKEHOLDER & TEAM MANAGEMENT

Communicate delivery timelines and technical tradeoffs clearly to UpNext leadership
Turn feedback from coaches and recruiting staff into technical priorities
Help shape the engineering team and hiring plan as UpNext grows

PROCESS & OPERATIONS

Own UpNext's weekly release cycle, including code review and QA before changes reach coaches
Manage bug triage and prioritization across the roadmap
Improve testing, observability, and deployment where they make development faster and safer
Evolve engineering processes as the team grows

GROWTH PATH - FIRST 3 MONTHS

MONTH 1: FOUNDATION

Learn the architecture, integrations, data flows, and technical risks of the existing codebase
Develop a deep understanding of the UpNext platform: Search, Smart Lists, Insights, Team Pages, Athlete Profiles, and Activity Feed
Learn the recruiting and transfer portal domain, including NCAA transfer rules and portal data sources
Ship your first improvements to production

MONTH 2: GROWING OWNERSHIP

Take point on feature development and technical decisions
Begin presenting in the weekly product/leadership meeting
Start owning coach and stakeholder technical communications
Take over the release and QA process

MONTH 3: INDEPENDENCE

Own the technical roadmap and architecture end to end
Own the weekly release cycle and delivery timelines
Contribute to high-level strategy discussions for UpNext's next phase of growth

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Shape UpNext's engineering culture and processes as the team scales
Build out the engineering team
Deepen expertise in the college sports recruiting and transfer portal space
Contribute to strategic conversations about UpNext's product direction and data strategy
This is just a starter list… many more TBD!

QUALIFICATIONS

5–7 years building and running production software, with end-to-end ownership (founding or first-engineer experience is a plus)
Strong full-stack skills in TypeScript, Next.js/React, and Postgres (Supabase), including APIs, third-party integrations, and asynchronous workflows
Experience developing and owning complex ETL pipelines at scale
Experience shipping LLM-enabled features and working with AI coding agents (agentic or long-running workflows are a plus)
Solid CS fundamentals
Clear communication with founders and other non-engineering stakeholders
Open to Hybrid in Charlotte and New York City and remote

We care more about demonstrated ability, judgment, passion, and ownership than exact years of experience or résumé shape.

NICE TO HAVE

Experience working with Supabase, Tailwind CSS, GCP tools and services
Experience working with Devin (Cognition's AI engineer)
Former college athlete and/or founding engineer experience
A portfolio of passion projects or past initiatives that you have directly built or majority was contributed by you

COMPENSATION

Base salary: $120,000 to $200,000, depending on experience and demonstrated ability. This is a founding role with meaningful equity vesting over four years.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES STATEMENT

Must be able to perform all essential functions of this position with reasonable accommodation.
