Senior Technical Product Manager, Video Enablement

We believe in the life changing impact youth sports have on and off the field. Sports encourage leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and confidence – important life lessons that have the power to propel our youth toward meaningful futures. We recognize that without coaches, parents, and volunteers, organized youth sports could not exist. By building the first and best place to experience the youth sports moments important to our community, we are helping families elevate the next generation through youth sports.

So if you love sports and their community building potential, or building cool products is your sport, GameChanger is the team for you. We are a remote-first, dynamic tech company based in New York City, and we are solving some of the biggest challenges in youth sports today.

At GameChanger we score and stream millions of youth sports games annually. As the Product Manager on the Video team, you will work with a talented team of engineers to develop our video pipeline end to end to ensure we have a scalable and resilient platform to handle millions of annual streams. You will need to have a firm grasp of video streaming, as well as recording and encoding concepts to help lead iterations of our current live and post-game video capabilities for our internal product teams.

Video continues to be central to our ambitious strategy to revolutionize how youth sports teams capture, analyze, and improve their game. You will work closely with your product management peers to drive user experiences that bring the magic of GameChanger to every team.
