What do we mean by Product Engineer?

Good question. We are on a mission to find a kickass Full stack developer who is ready to get hands-on and overcome our technical challenges when building our Athlete monitoring platform. Your input will help determine the direction of the product and ultimately, the success of the company.

There is lots to do - so you certainly won’t be bored. You might find yourself diving deep into Game APIs, building technical solutions to enhance user experience or tinkering with our scientific algorithms to provide stronger insights.

Am I dropping in solo?

Yes, you will be the technical arm of the team. But don’t worry, we will provide a parachute - so you can expect a softer landing. We don’t expect you to know everything, but we put our trust in you to learn new things and maybe have Stack Overflow bookmarked, just in case. Eventually, our technical team will expand beyond duos, trios and quads where you will be a vital leader of the pack.

About you -

Whether you have a CS Degree, or you’re completely self taught - we care about what you can do now, and how quickly you can learn new things. Whether you consider yourself an expert or not, this is an opportunity to learn and challenge yourself to achieve more.

We’d hope you have honed your skills in front-end, back-end and infrastructure development demonstrated through previous work, hobby projects, open-source contributions, or notable academic experience.

If you are looking to work on a meaningful project that has a positive impact on people's lives, in addition to combining your passion for gaming and code, this is the role for you.

Sounds good? Then we only have one more question for you. “Where are we dropping?”

Next Steps -

Send us an email to the address linked below with a short paragraph about yourself and anything that might help us learn more about you - such as:

  • CV
  • LinkedIn Profile
  • Github page
  • Link to something you’ve built
  • Case study of a project you’ve worked on
  • Something else (Desk setup? Gaming Montage?)

If you feel like you fit the role, let’s ready up and do this. The selection process will consist of an initial video call, followed by a technical conversation and demonstration.

Stay ahead of the game. Work with Gscience.
