Popdog is a technology and services company focused on fixing core problems in the esports and live streaming industry. That means we're building tools meant to power the future of the space, and we're eager to find talented folks (like you!) to join us on this journey.

We've assembled a team of industry leaders, like Loaded, Noscope, and Catalyst Esports, to come together like never before to develop better ways to monetize and stabilize the industries we love. Many of our team were formative to the rise of esports and gaming, and now we're taking all that knowledge and experience to build things that can ensure a future for it.

Popdog is the brainchild of a team who've poured decades of blood, sweat, and tears into ensuring video games are a real future for people around the globe. We work with every game publisher you can think of and brands like ADIDAS, Red Bull, HBO. If you want to be part of an imaginative, data-driven, and self-aware team who are creating things we've never seen, we are your future.

About Engineering at Popdog

Our engineering team is looking for like-minded individuals that love video games, moving fast, breaking things and putting them back together (if this scares you, don't worry, we know the value of running stable production systems and we don't require you to be 8000 MMR in DotA 2.)

We value demonstrated ability. Whether you’ve attained your PhD, attended Hack Reactor or spent your entire youth hacking away on personal projects, we’re a very diverse bunch looking for more team mates with the willpower and drive to build cool shit.

If you’re looking for a chill 9-5 where your ultimate benchmark is the yearly 360 review, it’s unlikely we’ll make you happy right now. But if you’re hungry for real, unadulterated growth and having true impact on not only the product you're building, but also the team you're building it with, we’d like to talk to you.

As the lead engineer for our internal tooling team your primary responsibility will be to gather requirements from business teams, and working on implementing/overseeing the implementation of tools to satisfy their current and future needs.

These needs vary wildly, from slapping together a simple script that scrapes and organizes a small set of data, to implementing robust internal APIs and web clients to have certain things readily available as they are needed.

This position has an inherent overlap with a lot of what other teams already do. As such, you are expected to identify overlap and take ownership of or contribute to parts of our existing infrastructure, where it makes sense. But your team will also have the freedom to act autonomously to satisfy immediate business needs.

We expect you to be a natural leader and champion of your code, with a lot of flexibility and breadth, in order to be able to tackle the wide variety of tooling necessary for some of our internal business units.
