Benchmark Sports is redefining how golf is learned through real-time simulation and AI coaching. We're profitable, moving fast, and scaling globally. Joining now means owning core systems used by millions of athletes. Shipping product that changes how people train.
The Culture
High ownership, touching all elements of the product full stack, owning business outcomes on a small lean team of highly technical people. We have a high talent bar and only hire people capable of working full stack and having a clear understanding of the product mission.
In office in Irvine. Work 6 days a week.
What You'll Work On
Build Live Coaching: take live video, pose, and sensor data from raw capture to real-time athlete feedback
Ship low-latency inference pipelines on smartphone and cloud
Productionize models from prototype to containerized, versioned services
Build training data pipelines and evaluation systems that make coaching measurably better
Expand beyond golf: padel, tennis, cricket
Core Expectations
Strong ML fundamentals
Up to date with latest agentic coding workflows
Full stack experience with good taste for UI/UX
Worked on either cutting edge implementations of LLMs or shipped LLM products used by real users
Who This is For
Young, ambitious builders with a blank-slate mindset. Native builder or ex-founder. Someone who has shipped things end-to-end and owns the outcome. Strong preference for candidates from top technical environments (Stanford, Berkeley, Cal Poly, CMU), but we'll hire the best builder regardless of pedigree. If you need a roadmap to do your best work, this role will be a bad fit.
What Success Looks Like: First 90 Days
Ship Live Coaching: from raw capture to model inference to athlete-facing feedback to at least 100,000 athletes
Measurably reduce coaching feedback latency or improve feedback consistency
Have a clear thesis on what the next highest-leverage model improvement is, and be building toward it
Tailor a demo towards several sports beyond golf: padel, tennis, cricket, etc.
