WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR . . .

Versus Systems is looking for a software engineer to build our web dashboards, support and improve our Elixir-built platform, 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.

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.
