    GoodRec is a US sports-tech startup operating the largest pickup sports app in North America. Players use our platform to join pickup games, leagues, and tournaments with a single tap.

    • Real-time features (chat, live updates)

    • Background job processing

    • Data synchronization across PostgreSQL and Firebase

    Architecture

    Our (new) codebase follows Clean Architecture:

    Your work will directly shape the reliability and developer experience of our platform as we scale.
