Job Description

Sleeper Design and Research Internship

Sleeper is building the leading platform to connect friends over sports. On Sleeper, fans can check scores, play games, chat, share memes, and more. We have over 10 million fans on our platform worldwide, and we continually add new games and social features to expand the ultimate digital playground for sports fans.

We're looking for team players who...

• Are pursuing a degree in a related field with a graduation date in 2025, or new grad with around 1 or fewer years of experience
• Understand the fundamentals of user research and have a strong attention to detail
• Love collaborating and can juggle multiple projects
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment as a proactive self-starter—at Sleeper, we go above and beyond and sweat the details
• Have an eagerness to learn and are genuinely curious or passionate about sports

Extra points if you...

• Hold a degree in HCI, information sciences, stats, data analytics, human-centered design, or a related field
• Have run usability tests—in-person or remote—for mobile apps
• Are skilled with remote testing tools, surveys, or analytics dashboards
• Have experience with fantasy sports, daily fantasy, or sports betting—or just a serious passion for football or basketball

More about the internship...

• Join a small cohort of interns collaborating with mentors and senior team members.
• Get onboarded to our research process and ramp up to full projects, including a capstone.
• Completing the 12-week program gives you priority for our open full-time roles.

Sleeper believes in quality over quantity, and intentionally keeps our team small as a result. In past roles, our team members found it very hard to make a big impact when companies grow too large in size, which has a detrimental effect on the product and the impact any single individual can have. Our team includes designers, engineers, product experts, and finance & operation focused on one thing — connecting people over sports. We believe in fair and equitable pay.

For this role in certain locations in the United States, a reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for new hires is $20 USD to $32 USD per hour. No overtime work allowed, and the internship will be for 3 months or otherwise negotiated; salary upon potential, full-time conversion will be adjusted and further negotiated.

Sleeper is backed by Silicon Valley's top investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Expa.
