What they're building

Fanatics App, a single mobile app across brands and businesses strong signal

Today: The site lists Commerce, Collectibles and Betting & Gaming. Postings describe the Fanatics App as "the mobile app at Fanatics that encompasses elements from all of our different brands and businesses".

Roles: Senior Software Engineering Manager (REMOTE) · Staff Engineer - Mobile/Kotlin (REMOTE) · Senior Staff Engineer - Mobile/Kotlin (REMOTE) · Staff Engineer - Backend/Kotlin (REMOTE) · Senior Software Engineer - Backend/Kotlin (REMOTE) · Software Engineering Manager (REMOTE)

Requirements mention: Kotlin Multiplatform · Compose Multiplatform · highly scalable and fault tolerant systems · observability practices · Fanatics App

Inference: managers, mobile engineers and backend engineers for the app are being hired together. Four of the postings ask for Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform, which suggests shared-code mobile development for the app.

Fanatics Events, live fan events and festivals strong signal

Today: Fanatics site: "Fanatics Events is building the largest and most exciting network of sports and collector fan events around the world." One posting names Fanatics Fest and WWE World.

Roles: Director, Experiential Partnerships - Fanatics Events · Director, Operations - Fanatics Events · Manager, Operations - Fanatics Events

Requirements mention: live event production · sponsorship activation · run-of-show logistics · Signage Management · vendor management

Inference: three roles covering partnerships, operations and production all opened on 2026-10-01, which suggests the events operation is being staffed up in New York, NY.

Financial services and loyalty partnerships moderate signal

Today: The Director posting says Fanatics Financial Services drives "financial services and loyalty partnerships". Separately, the site describes Fanatics ONE as the loyalty program that "connects the entire Fanatics ecosystem".

Roles: Director, Financial Services Partnerships & Business Development · Manager, Enterprise Partnerships - Financial Services

Requirements mention: earn/burn mechanics · co-brand partnerships · loyalty ecosystems · coalition-style partnerships · ROI-driven business cases

Inference: the two Corporate - Credit Card roles point to signing co-brand and loyalty partners. The postings do not name Fanatics ONE, so a link to it is likely but not stated.

Partner integration into Fanatics ONE weak signal

Today: Fanatics site: Fanatics ONE "connects the entire Fanatics ecosystem"

Roles: Staff Full Stack Engineer - Partnerships Engineering

Requirements mention: partner APIs · identity provider integrations · OAuth 2.0 · integration platforms

No inference: one posting describes partner integration systems that connect external partners to Fanatics ONE, which is not enough to read a wider build.

Gift card business weak signal

Today: The posting describes a gift card business selling over 200 different gift cards through tens of thousands of ecomm and physical stores in more than 10 countries.

Roles: Sr. Manager, Head of Global Gift Card Strategy

Requirements mention: gift card program strategy · financial modeling · financial forecasting

No inference: the posting says the company is materially scaling gift cards as a strategic priority, but this rests on one role.
