Engineering — Open Application 

Remote (US-only)

We don't always have a specific opening posted, but we're always interested in exceptional engineers. This is an open application for engineers who'd be a strong fit at PressBox even if there isn't a perfectly-matched req on our jobs page today. We review these as they come in, reach out when there's a fit, and keep strong candidates warm for when the timing is right.

We're open to a range of levels, roughly mid-level through staff. If you read the below and think “that's me,” we want to hear from you regardless of the exact title.

We're building an AI-powered platform that helps sports media teams work smarter. Engineers here own critical systems across the full stack, from edge infrastructure to AI-powered content workflows to consumer-facing applications. We're a small team, fully serverless, with no legacy systems to maintain, and we lean hard on AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.) to move fast.

 About PressBox 

PressBox empowers creatives across Broadcast, Editorial, Product, Social, & Marketing teams to deliver highly-personalized experiences that speak to fans regardless of their interests. We sit at the forefront of a shift in how content is created and delivered, breaking free of algorithms, and giving fans unprecedented control over their fandom! We're assembling a small, high-leverage team to build a first-of-its kind verticalized platform that is revolutionizing content creation. We value high-agency, low-ego partners who care deeply about shipping real value and are energized by solving unique, difficult problems.

 What You Might Work On 

We're a small team, so the surface area is wide and you'd own real pieces of it. On any given week that might mean scaling our Cloudflare Workers edge architecture, hardening cross-tenant isolation across our database-per-tenant setup, building agentic tooling that compresses customer onboarding, or wiring human curation decisions back into model improvement — alongside shipping product end-to-end from schema to polished UI. Where you plug in depends on your strengths. Tell us what energizes you!

 What We're Looking For 

We care more about what you can do than about years on a résumé. Strong candidates tend to have most of the following:

  • A track record of shipping and owning production systems, with autonomy proportional to experience.
  • Someone who thrives in ambiguity and can drive both product and technical decisions.
  • Strong TypeScript skills and comfort across frontend and backend.
  • Experience with (or a real appetite for) distributed systems and event-driven architectures.
  • Hands-on LLM/AI integration experience: prompt engineering, vector databases, agentic workflows.
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools and an instinct for where they help (and where they don't).
  • For more senior candidates: demonstrated technical leadership and the ability to set technical direction while staying hands-on.

Bonus

  • Cloudflare experience: Workers, Workflows, Queues, R2, KV, etc.
  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture experience.
  • SQLite (Turso) or distributed database experience.
  • Python experience.

 Tech Stack 

Runtime:Cloudflare Workers, Workflows, Queues, R2, KV
External Services:Modal (serverless Python), AWS ECS
Frontend:React, React Router v7, Tailwind v4
Backend:Hono, OpenAPI, Drizzle ORM, Turso (distributed SQLite)
AI:OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, LangGraph, Pinecone, ONNX inference
Infra:LangSmith, Axiom, GitHub Actions, Sentry, PostHog, Clerk

 Why PressBox 

Modern Infrastructure

Fully serverless on multiple modern platforms, no legacy systems to maintain.

Sports Content

More fun than another fintech gig. Real users who care about everything from F1 to surfing.

Ownership

Small team where your architectural decisions ship directly to production.

Remote-First

Work from anywhere, async-friendly culture focused on output over presence.

 How This Works 

Because this is an open application rather than a live opening, our process is a little different:

We read every application and respond when we see a strong fit, though it may not be immediate.
Tell us where you'd want to plug in and what kind of work energizes you. The more specific, the better.
If there's mutual interest, we'll set up a conversation to figure out the right level and scope together.

Don't see a perfect fit but think you'd thrive here? Apply anyway! These are exactly the people we built this open application for.
