Underdog Tech Stack
Fantasy sports platform with millions of concurrent players
Underdog operates a multi-game fantasy sports platform built on modern mobile-first infrastructure (Kotlin/Swift, Firebase, AWS) and a data-heavy backend (Kafka, Flink, Spark, dbt, Looker). The tech stack reveals an organization optimized for real-time game state and player traffic spikes — critical for game-day operations. Engineering dominates the hiring mix, and pain points cluster around scaling infrastructure (workforce identity, IT operations, test frameworks) and operational reliability during high-traffic events.
