WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR… 

Versus is looking for a software engineer who enjoys building code as much as interacting with external partners. If you’re a problem-solver that wants to change how consumers interact with entertainment behind the scenes, you’ll not only create what we provide, but also assist our partners with integrating and customizing our various platforms to serve their needs. We offer unique, prize-based matches to players and other content consumers, changing the way the world experiences entertainment.

Our stack is based in Elixir. React and Redux power our frontend applications, and we have SDKs for iOS, Android, and Unity - your Unity expertise will be a big plus.

We're a fast-growing team with a strong engineering culture who values collaboration and creativity. Every engineer contributes to the overall development process, product design, and roadmap of the company.

Did we mention we have a MAME Cabinet awaiting our post-COVID office return to the office?
