Consumer Apps Team Lead

About The Position

Pixellot is redefining how sports are captured, produced, and consumed our AI-powered cameras, automated production, and streaming platforms turn any court or field into a broadcast-ready venue. Millions of games are filmed, streamed, and watched through the apps this role owns.

We're hiring a Consumer Apps Team Lead to lead the team that builds every application surface Pixellot's users touch, fully end-to-end mandate web, mobile native (iOS/Android), and the backend services and APIs that power them.

You'll lead a team of 6 engineers, own the technical and delivery roadmap for several product lines, and sit close to the business to make trade-off calls that hold up in front of customers, partners, and leadership.

As part of your role, you will:

• Own structure, mentorship, hiring and day-to-day delivery for the applications team.
• Set the technical bar: code review culture, architecture decisions, engineering standards.
• Stay hands-on — write and review code, unblock hard problems, and be the escalation point.
• Lead agentic development across the SDLC: design, coding, testing, deployment, sprint management.
• Drive architecture end to end — web, mobile, SDK, backend, APIs — supporting both app and platform modes of operation.
• Own app performance, reliability, release quality and the mobile app store lifecycle.
• Balance consumer product work against the operator and admin tooling our customers depend on. Both matter; neither should starve the other.
  
  

• 7+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years leading a team, ideally across both web and mobile.
• Track record of owning a consumer or B2B2C/B2C application end to end rchitecture, app-store release, post-launch iteration.
• Hands-on production experience with React or Angular, native or wrapped mobile, Node, Mongo or Postgres, Kubernetes, AWS, CDNs, at meaningful scale.
• Experience with event-based product analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel, Segment) and ensuring the app meets business requirements for analytical insights.
• Comfortable operating as one team among several, with shared platforms and contracts you don't unilaterally control.
  
  

• Sports tech, streaming/OTT, media, or another latency and reliability-sensitive consumer domain.
• Exposure to camera or video pipelines, streaming protocols, or edge devices.
  
  

• Real Impact: Your work directly affects millions - from parents watching Friday night games to coaches gaining competitive advantage.
• Technical Challenges: Real-time video on a global scale, consumer apps balancing simplicity with power, AI features that feel magical.
• Strong Team: Work closely with experienced R&D leaders and strong engineers who think deeply about customer problems.
