Software Engineer (React/Redux Focus) - remote

Posted 3 years ago  • Los Angeles, CA

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR . . .

Versus Systems is looking for a software engineer to build our web dashboards, support and improve our Elixir-built API, and build incredible code that changes the ways consumers engage with entertainment. Our product suite allows content developers to create unique, prize-based matches for their users, changing the experience of how we interact with entertainment and media. In short, we make things more fun. 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 collaborative team with a strong product and engineering culture. We value partnership and creativity. Every engineer contributes to the overall development process, product design, and roadmap of the company.
