Who We Are at Outlier:

Outlier is a sports betting research platform for aspiring, intermediate, and advanced sports bettors who understand that data & statistics are the foundation of a strong sports betting strategy. It empowers bettors to make smarter betting decisions by pairing hyper-contextual and relevant sports data with available betting markets. 

Unlike traditional sports data sites like ESPN and Basketball Reference, Outlier organizes and visualizes data for easy comprehension, efficient decision making, and immediate execution. Think Bloomberg Terminal for sports betting.

Outlier has tens of thousands of paying subscribers, and regularly ranks among the top-50 sports apps (top-10 grossing) in the Apple App store, with 9k+ reviews and a 4.9 star rating. We’ve had rapid growth since our launch in December of 2022, largely attributed to product-led growth. The foundation of our PLG is directly driven by a focus on an excellent UX and delighting users. We want a passionate product & visual designer to join the team and own these experiences.

You will rapidly iterate on designs to refine user experiences, work directly with the development team to bring designs to life, and think systematically to ensure consistent behaviors and aesthetics across our suite of applications. Additionally, you will develop and maintain a comprehensive design system to guide the development team and ensure scalability. Your efforts will directly impact our product’s success by driving user satisfaction and engagement, while also playing a key role in shaping our brand identity through high-quality marketing visuals.
