Millions of gamers capture, share, and discover new games on Medal, the largest platform for gaming clips. Our mission is to design products that make sharing and connecting around gaming seamless and fun, and build a place where brands and game publishers can reach high-quality gamers to grow their products.

The Role

You'll join a talented team of engineers experienced with large-scale applications, helping scale the platform to 100+ million users by building high-quality features that creators love and creating new experiences for the next generation of gamers. Most of your work will be in React on our Electron app, where you'll iterate quickly to see which features stick, working directly with leadership and our community to ship features regularly.

• Ownership & attention to detail: You see things through, and can be responsible for end-to-end quality of complex features

• Code Performance: Excellent understanding of code performance implications in production and confident with profiling tools

• Be result-driven: Everything we do is driven by the metrics and performance of the feature. We move fast and ship regularly

• Measuring with metrics: Comfort with A/B testing and measuring results with usage metrics
