About Underdog
What is Underdog?
Underdog is the sports-gaming company behind Underdog Fantasy, one of the fastest-growing fantasy sports platforms in the US — known for best-ball drafts, pick'em contests and daily fantasy games. Founded in 2020, it designs, builds and operates its products entirely in-house and has raised over $100M at a unicorn valuation.
Where will I work?
Underdog is a remote-first company with a distributed, virtual-first culture across the United States. Some roles list California, Texas or New York as a base, but nearly all are open to US remote.
What is the Underdog team like?
Around 500 people across engineering, product, marketing, operations and regulatory functions. Listings describe "a connected virtual-first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce".
Work-Life Balance
Nearly every Underdog listing states: "Unlimited PTO for full-time employees (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)" — candid seasonality for a sports company, with genuine flexibility the rest of the year. Parents get 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave regardless of path to parenthood.
