TopScore is hiring a Frontend Unicorn. The Unicorn is a developer with a knack for creating great user interactions and will be responsible for the continued development of our product as we scale from hundreds of thousands of users to the millions. If you’re bright, diligent, and long to build products that last, join us in revolutionizing how sports and activities are organized.

About TopScore

TopScore is a rapidly growing software-as-a-service company that provides modern solutions for sport and activity organizers. We process tens of millions of dollars in registrations and purchases for hundreds of organizations in dozens of countries.

TopScore is an atypical company in several regards:

We judge you entirely by what you produce. We don’t care how long you work, where you work, how you work or what credentials you have. We care about what you get done.





We are extremely transparent, flat, and open-minded. While you will have clearly delineated responsibilities, you are welcome and encouraged to contribute beyond those areas. We judge ideas and results, not ranks and titles.





We strongly believe in “skin-in-the-game” and aligning incentives. We want people to invest in us just as we invest in them. All TopScore team members are granted a meaningful stake in the company.





Everyone is from Lake Wobegon. Great results can only come from great people. If you’re interested in working with people who are exceptionally bright, creative, and diligent, TopScore is a strong choice.

OK, perhaps the author hails from a different lake in the looks department.

About the Position

The Unicorn will be responsible for the continued development of the TopScore platform, with a focus on frontend design and user interactions. This includes:

Designing and implementing user interactions and managing the look-and-feel of TopScore.

Writing JS, SASS/CSS, and PHP templates. Or really whatever templates you want; that's your job now.

Collaborating with other developers on product changes and improvements.

Investigating and correcting bugs.

Understanding the difference between simple and easy.

The Unicorn would work closely with the entire programming team.



This is a full-time, remote position that requires several in-person get-togethers per year.

Compensation commensurate with experience and ability.

Requirements

Ability to solve complex problems with simple code. TopScore is not a simple application, but we try our hardest to power it with simple code. Your job is not just to solve problems, but to solve problems in a way that will last and can easily be picked up by other people.





Knack for user experience and design. Our user base ranges from soccer moms to several-hours-a-day power users. You'll need an ability to understand how to create solutions that work for both.

Reliable and independent. We expect a lot out of you, but we won't keep tabs on you. You must thrive in that kind of environment.

No degree, credential, or age requirements. If you can do the work, we don't care how you got the skills.

We're not particularly concerned with what technologies you've used. This is because we're less concerned with immediate productivity than with your ability to play a driving role in the long-term experience of TopScore.

Bonus points if:

You are involved in organized sports and activities.

You are a full-stack developer capable of writing SQL and business logic.

You have used the TopScore platform in an administrative capacity.

You have used the TopScore platform in a player capacity.

You live in or near Pittsburgh or are willing to move there.

Do not hesitate to apply even if none of the bonus points describe you.
