About the job

At Allstar, our mission is to enable any gamer to be a creator. We build powerful creator tools that make sharing gameplay simpler than posting a selfie. Our dedication to our mission and passion for gaming and creativity has led us to become the fastest-growing company in our space.


Co-founded by former pro-gamer and CEO Nick “anTs” Cuomo (CEO) and Gavin “Odin” Silver (CTO) in August 2019, we’ve scaled from creating thousands of videos for hundreds of gamers to over 18M clips for 8.85M users – now more than 1 clip every second! With over 194M views and 100% organic product driven growth, Allstar has reached an inflection point and is scaling fast. We need talented people like you to help us accelerate.


Allstar has raised $18M+ in venture capture having closed our Series A led Drive Capital (former Sequoia investors; 3x IPOs including Duo Lingo). We are backed by Mark Cuban, the New York Angels (investors in Pinterest), Studio VC (investors in Twitter, Lyft), angel investors from Harvard and MIT, and gaming investors from Overwolf, Twitch, Zynga, and Blizzard.


Team Allstar is driven by our passion for gaming and creativity, a strong belief in our mission, and our diverse backgrounds and experiences. With multiple previous unicorn exits, you’ll be growing alongside senior talent from industry leaders like Unity, Meetup, ESL, Apple, TIME, and more.
