Juked
We are building the platform where esports fans can come to find everything they want pertaining to esports including watching events, viewing scores/standings, keeping up with your favorite teams and players, and a whole lot more.
Why join us?
We are build something the esports community greatly needs in today. The esports space is severely fragmented from a community and an user experience standpoint. Everything is scattered across many different platforms and outlets. We're bring everything into one place for fans, event organizers, teams, and developers.
We are a team of experienced esports industry leaders. CEO Co-founder Ben Goldhaber was the first employee at Twitch and championed esports as Global manager of Twitch’s owned/earned digital marketing channels. COO Co-founder Chris Chan has created and produced the most popular esports podcasts/shows and has helped shape one of the most used analytic tools in the industry.
We've been growing month over month at a good rate since our beta launch in November of 2019.
We just finished Batch 26 of the 500 Startups Accelerator program where we worked closely with experienced mentors to hone our strategies.
Engineering at Juked
We currently have a project manager that managers our story board and schedule with 2-3 engineers doing platform design and development. Our engineer processes revolve around our story board (kanban) that is synced with the product and marketing team.
We are building a web platform geared to scale quickly and efficiently as our viewership grows. You will be working with modern web technologies to develop features that immediately make an impact on our users. Some of our recent features include customizing esports content based on favorite preferences, adding new streaming platforms to Juked to host additional esports events, sending push notifications when series become live, adding interactive polling features on top of live streams. Each of these requires architecting a solution that will scale with our quickly growing user base while still being cost efficient.
Assist in building an assortment of competition features that will improve retention and build excitement around large esports events.
Assist in building out player/team profiles and tournament organizer tools to rapidly expand our catalog of supported esports events and user base.
You would help expand our data caching layer so that thousands up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users can efficiently stream live updates from our backend.
In the future, you may have the opportunity to work on projects like: building out the first iteration of our mobile app, experimenting with computer vision to provide better data and interactive features, leveraging user viewership data to build better content recommendation systems.
