We’re Underdog.

The fastest-growing sports gaming company – ever.

We build innovative games, products, and experiences for American sports fans.

We’re here to shake up the fastest growing industry with bold ideas, custom-built tech, and the drive to win.

Founded in 2020, our team has built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and launched the Underdog Sportsbook – built entirely in-house with our own technology. That means we control our product, move fast, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else. 

In just over two years, we’ve reached over a $1.2 billion valuation, with investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, and Adam Schefter. And we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone. Join us.

About the role and why it’s unique:
  • Partner with cross-functional teams (e.g., Product, Marketing, Engineering) to provide financial insights and strategic support
  • Develop and maintain complex financial models for budgeting, forecasting, and long-term planning
  • Lead monthly and quarterly business reviews with leadership, highlighting key trends and risks
  • Analyze performance drivers, market trends, and competitive dynamics to inform strategy
  • Support corporate development initiatives such as M&A, fundraising, or partnership evaluations
  • Prepare investor materials, board presentations, and executive reporting packages
  • Enhance financial tools and systems to improve efficiency, accuracy, and insight
  • Drive ad-hoc analysis to support strategic initiatives, pricing strategies, and capital allocation
Who you are:
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field (MBA or CFA a plus)
  • 3–6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or corporate finance
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills; advanced proficiency in Excel and financial software/tools
  • Excellent communication and storytelling ability, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
  • High level of business acumen and strategic thinking
Even better if you have:
  • Experience in high-growth tech, SaaS, or consumer businesses.
  • Familiarity with ERP and FP&A systems (e.g., NetSuite, Adaptive, Anaplan, Tableau).
  • SQL or data analysis skills are a plus


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $128,000 and $150,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:
  • Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
