At Challengermode our vision is to build the best (online) competitive gaming experience for enthusiast gamers and their teams. We are now looking for a natural-born software engineer who can express him or herself flawlessly through code. The platform has a microservice architecture and is primarily built with Web technologies like ASP.NET, WebSockets, and Angular.

The platform has a microservice architecture and is primarily built with Web technologies like ASP.NET, WebSockets, and Angular. However, nothing is static and as tools and frameworks evolve, so do we. Although we'd like for you to be familiar with these technologies, it's more important that you are not only able to learn and adapt but really want to learn new stuff and adapt to better ways of doing things. We see our software architecture, just like our Startup itself, as being on a constant journey of iterative improvement. And we are only able to succeed if all of us take the same approach to our own knowledge and intellectual betterment.

Challengermode is being built by a small but high performing team that values trust and autonomy. We don't shy away from big problems and are never satisfied with mediocrity. Most importantly, we maintain a humble attitude and aren't afraid of making mistakes if we learn from them.
