We’re Underdog.

The fastest-growing sports gaming company, ever. We’re here to make sports more fun. We pair intuitive user experiences with innovative game designs to build the best experience for sports fans in America.

Since 2020, we’ve launched four of today’s most widely played fantasy games, and built the Underdog Sportsbook entirely in-house with our own tech. We move fast, act with urgency, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

With a $1.2 billion valuation and backing from investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, Adam Schefter, and more, we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we play and win as a team. We take chances and are unafraid to attack hard problems. We face challenges with ambition and optimism. We play for the love of the game.

We’re Underdog. And winning as an Underdog is just more fun.

Join us.

  • Improve onboarding/offboarding workflows, integrating IAM, MDM, and SaaS tools for efficiency
  • Implement security best practices, including access controls, endpoint compliance, and SaaS security policies
  • Drive process improvements and IT documentation to enhance IT support efficiency
  • Partner cross-functionally with different departments to streamline IT processes and ensure alignment with company goals
  • Establish and track OKRs to measure Service Desk performance, SLA adherence, and employee satisfaction

Who you are:

  • 7+ years of IT support or IT operations experience, including 3-5 years in a leadership or management role
  • Strong hands-on experience with Freshservice, Okta, Kandji, JumpCloud (MDM), Cerby, Google Workspace, Zoom, and Slack
  • Proficient in Service Desk management, SaaS administration, identity management, and endpoint security
  • Experienced in Apple (macOS/iOS) and Windows environments
  • Deep understanding of evolving security threats and how to mitigate them through proactive IT measures
  • Knowledgeable in zero-trust security principles, including least privilege access, MFA enforcement, and continuous authentication
  • Skilled in IAM best practices, including SSO, automated provisioning and deprovisioning, and regular access reviews
  • Familiar with ITIL frameworks and IT service management best practices
  • Skilled in troubleshooting, IT documentation, and process optimization
  • A strong communicator with excellent problem-solving and leadership skills
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, dynamic environments with evolving IT needs
  • Experience in guiding teams through IT transitions, system implementations, and IT security policy rollouts

Even better if you have:

  • ITIL certification or experience implementing ITSM best practices
  • Experience managing or mentoring IT teams with a focus on IAM, endpoint security, or SaaS administration
  • Familiarity with device compliance standards and experience enforcing security policies in MDM solutions like JumpCloud and Kandji
  • Experience with Cerby or similar SaaS security tools to manage unsanctioned app access and shadow IT risks
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, or GLI-33B
  • Hands-on experience integrating SSO, MFA, and security policies across multiple SaaS platforms
  • Background in IT asset management, including vendor management, procurement, and budget planning to support IT operations

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
