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. Our stack is based on Elixir. React and Redux power our frontend applications, and we have SDKs for iOS, Android, and Unity.

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.

Did we mention we have a very well-stocked arcade machine?

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.
