Job Description:

Angel City FC is looking for a Head of Technology to join their team and sit within a small group of committed leadership changing the landscape of sport and entertainment. This is a hands on and functional role seated with other high performing team members in design, marketing, community, sponsorship, content, and soccer operations. Because of this, we would love to hear from candidates who have iteratively built and shipped high fidelity products, platforms, and experiences that have an understanding of the entire technology development lifecycle as well as obsession for technical execution. Why is this role important for Angel City FC's work? The ACFC Head of Technology is not only charged with defining and developing the core infrastructure of Angel City's software stack, but also for developing a world class platform that can be utilized to scale our core businesses of membership and commerce. Your skillset is critical to our work because you will provide new ways to push the invisible parts of a professional sports team forward, and advocate the generative possibilities enabled by software in the space. You have a knack for combining great design and technology solutions, dealing with ambiguity and delivering impact for our stakeholders. You should expect to apply a range of technologies to these challenges, including but certainly not limited to common platforms and frameworks like React, Node, AWS, Shopify, and associated plug-ins and apps. Requirements We are particularly interested in candidates that have demonstrated fluency in the following areas:

• You can speak about designing and delivering a software-based product - identifying how technology, business, and user needs interrelate - with non-technical team members in a way that's accessible, credible, and inspiring
• You have a fluency in modern mobile and web development technologies and an understanding of best practices associated with engineering and delivering software
• A granular understanding of commerce platforms and associated user experiences
• When designing for a new platform, or researching options, you have a process for learning to understand how solutions will scale, and how we can best position design for impact on that platform
• You are able to support teams at any point of the process whether that is during research, synthesis or design rather than restricting your focus to the purely technical aspects, prototyping and developing
• Experience in launching products and platforms to market We would like you to share 2 projects that best represent your capabilities, interests, and leadership, and that demonstrate deep technical expertise in at least one platform, language, or domain. If you have them, please include links to your Github repos, portfolio, blog and/or website and clearly communicate your role in these projects.
  As Head of Technology at Angel City, we provide the opportunity for you to:
  • Solve problems in a broad set of verticals across sport operations
  • Explore, develop, and apply concepts with emerging technologies
  • Collaboratively create your team's approach to the latest business challenges
  • Balance a role as both guide and contributor, where you can continue to grow as an IC and explore more avenues in team management
