Senior Software Engineer - Frontend (Community team)

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.

About FACEIT
With more than 25m users playing 30m matches every month FACEIT is the leading competitive gaming platform. We provide gamers the best experience possible by making sure we are always on top of our tech – and continue to deliver industry-leading features to our already awesome platform.

The Community Team

The Community Platform team creates products for players of multiple games, providing them with a community where they can belong, play, connect, and find friends. We cater to communities of all sizes, from small parties to large clubs.

Parties are designed for small groups of players to interact and play together. Our party system includes chat and voice features, a party finder to help players find the right party, integration with other FACEIT platform features like matchmaking queues and leagues, and functionalities that extend the party experience beyond simply playing the games.

Clubs are larger communities of players that offer events, additional content, multiple chat channels, custom queues for internal play, and a broader group of like-minded individuals to interact and play with.
