What the job involves
- Our Frontend Developers take full responsibility of the SDLC, and are currently working on some amazing new features. Our tech stack is based around React, Redux, TypeScript and we’re starting to use more of Next.Js – and yes, of course they are all the latest versions!
- Our Developers are divided into collaborative teams that look after various services such as; Matchmaking, Clans, Growth, Monetization and many more - making constant improvements to them. We’re currently working on developing some crazy new features, but are always open to new exciting ideas our colleagues want to share
Our take
Young people are increasingly turning away from traditional media, and gaming has in recent years become a professional spectator sport that draws huge online crowds. FACEIT is a competitive gaming platform that allows developers to run their own online tournaments, providing ranking charts, skill-based matchmaking and anti-cheat software to ensure that these events are as fair as any traditional sporting competition.
The esports market is projected to be worth about £4.5 billion globally by 2030, and FACEIT has attracted large scale investments as it continues to innovate in this market. Not all of its moves have panned out - for instance its foray into crypto gaming in 2022 could have come at a better time, but its pivot to non-intrusive in-game advertising has been well received by developers and is a testament to the adaptability of the company.
FACEIT is continuing to release and support new gaming products, for instance a car racing tournament released in colloboration with RENNSPORT, where established esports teams and car manufacturers will compete for a prize pool of €500,000. An Overwatch tournament launched in 2024 with a cash prize pool of $170,000. As the esports market shows no sign of slowing down, FACEIT will remain in a strong position to grow alongside it.
