At EFG (ESL FACEIT Group) we create worlds beyond gameplay, where players and fans become a community. We pride ourselves in having a corporate social responsibility which is that “IT’S NOT GG, UNTIL IT’S GG FOR ALL”. Our passion, craft, and DNA are aligned to create and shape the world of esports, gaming tournaments, leagues, events, and holistic ecosystems through our millions of players, fans, and heroes, as well as through our people and culture.

You will be joining a Frontend Platform team, where you will be defining the future of the FACEIT frontend. FACEIT has products such as Community Integrity, Tournaments, Growth, Monetization, and many more. Our Frontend Platform team is where we research how to apply technology to help product teams achieve their goals. As a Senior engineer, your colleagues will rely on your guidance in all things front end. How to make a website faster? How do we make releases more stable? How to scale? How to manage the complexity of the codebase? If you are comfortable with such questions, you might be a good fit for us.

Some examples of things that we do as a Platform team:

• We establish the tech stack and ensure our codebase doesn’t stagnate in legacy;
• We ensure that our product teams have the technologies and can rely on established best practices;
• We provide optimization insights and monitoring;
• We develop and maintain some of the shared functionality of our website, such as SSO.

Requirements:

• A decent level of engineering curiosity;
• Experience building large-scale applications with TypeScript and React;
• Experience working with the server layer (NodeJS & NextJS);
• Ability to write well-documented and easily maintained code;
• Ability to efficiently communicate and find compromises;
• Ability to mentor and help improve your colleague’s skillset;
• Ability to speak a common language with our product, SRE, infrastructure, security, and back-end teams;
• Experience in technically leading development projects, coordinating work and communicating with stakeholders;
• A passion for video games and esports is a plus.

We would get especially excited if you have experience with the following:

• You are comfortable reading the source code of React, NextJS and other third-party libraries;
• You can demonstrate your experience with profiling;
• Previous experience with scalable architecture/systems serving thousands and millions of users seamlessly.
