Join Betr as a Senior Frontend Engineer to develop mobile applications using React Native and TypeScript, focusing on sportsbooks and gaming products, while optimizing performance and handling real-time data.
About Betr
Founded in 2022 by Joey Levy and Jake Paul, Betr is building the world's first real money gaming super app. The company's first product, Betr Picks, launched in September 2023 and quickly grew to several hundreds of thousands of paying users that have already won $250M on the platform. Betr recently launched Betr Arcade with plans on launching additional new nationwide gaming products within its single app experience in 2025 to further differentiate its product offering. In addition to its single-app experience, Betr's gaming products are differentiated through a unique, simplified user interface that is catered to the casual sports fan and gamer, enabling Betr to capture more of the under-penetrated online gaming addressable market.
Betr's media division, Betr Media, is one of the fastest growing sports gaming media brands in the U.S. and helps support the company's user acquisition and retention efforts.
Betr is backed by Fuel Venture Capital, Aliya Capital Partners, IA Sports Ventures, FinSight Ventures, Florida Funders, Harmony Partners, 8vc, and other top-tier investors.
