Software Developer in Esports - HLTV/Counterstrike

Would you like to make an impact on the biggest sites in Counter-Strike in the world? If yes, then you might be our new colleague as our new Software Developer.

About the role

Our department for development is located in Aarhus, Denmark right next to the university. You will work with heavily used websites and will quickly be able to point to exactly the part you have developed. We work full stack with modern technologies such as Kotlin, React, and Serverless. Everyone in the office are computer scientists, and we highly value doing things right, and continuously work to keep quality high and technical debt down.

In Aarhus we develop and manage the websites for

• HLTV.org - The biggest Counter-Strike website in the world

• Dust2 - A growing portfolio of regional Counter-Strike websites all running on the same platform. Currently Dust2 is present in Denmark, USA, Brazil and India.

• FUTBIN.com - The biggest Fifa Ultimate Team website in the world.

As such we are in the same league as the biggest traditional media in Denmark.

We build for ourselves and not an external customer. This means we truly value quality since we own all the consequences of not doing it. We prefer to launch when features are right rather than hacking stuff together and detriment of the next guy to work on it.

The organisation is flat and agile. We avoid processes, ceremonies, roadblocks and distractions that get in the way of shipping for our users. We prefer to ship features small and often. If a feature is done we launch it the same day.
