What we offer

​

Sleeper believes in quality over quantity, and intentionally keeps our team small as a result. In past roles, we found it very hard to make a big impact when companies grow too large in size, which has a detrimental effect on the product and the impact any single individual can have. Our team includes designers, engineers, product experts, and finance & operation focused on one thing — connecting people over sports. We believe in fair and equitable pay. Certain locations in the United States require job postings to include a reasonable estimate of the base wage range and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation applicable to the role.

​

For this role, the contract pay rate is $24.04 per hour.  Benefits are not provided during the contract period.
