WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR . . .
Versus Systems is looking for engineers to work on building our web dashboards, infrastructure, and mobile SDKs. We are building a custom white-label platform that allows game developers to create unique, prized matches for their players - to change how video games are played while making them more fun to win.

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

An Insider's view of Versus Systems

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Our office fosters creativity and individuality. While we all have our roles and tasks to accomplish, we celebrate each others differences, tastes, and hobbies.

We encourage personal and professional growth, as well as sharing of experiences, which in turn helps build camaraderie.

Mike Spragg

QA Analyst

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

At Versus, we're working on solving a problem that cuts both ways: gamers hate ads, and brands hate that gamers don't click their ads. By allowing people to compete for cool prizes, we give gamers a fun way to raise the stakes and help brands reach them in ways that aren't rage-inducing.

Dan Howard

Director, Software Engineer

I've learned to be an adaptable employee and pounce on opportunities that expand my skills and help the company grow. Each day brings a new challenge as we grow and create a brand new industry. I've grown to consider issues holistically - not only from a gut feel, but also what data is most important to our internal stakeholders to move forward.
