About Us
Launched in mid-2021, gaming start-up POGFI aims to build a community of gamers that share the common interest of turning content creation into a career. We provide opportunities to battle the barriers to entry, such as; free entry tournaments, frequent giveaways, and a Play 2 Earn web application that allows gamers to earn money and rewards doing what they love.
Whilst currently in the process of user/market research, we aim to begin the development of the Play 2 Earn platform on which the hired Engineers will be focusing at POGFI.
About the Role
As a Software engineer, you will be focusing on building the POGFI P2E which aims to create financial solutions for creators in the gaming industry. Quality is key for us, so you will ensure all product components for the platform are built to an appropriate level of quality for the stage (alpha/beta/production) and deliver products using the appropriate agile project management methodology, learning and iterating frequently. The ideal candidate will be an Engineer with back-end and front-end (UI/UX)experience, with an interest in gaming and the applicable uses of gamification.
Responsibilities:
- You’ll work across the full-stack, and this means: back-end, front-end as well as testing and cloud infrastructure
- Commit to high-speed iterations, high code quality, and continuous improvement via agile processes
- Provide production support, system diagnosis, and troubleshooting
- Ensure long-term quality, scalability, and maintainability of our systems
- You will work closely with the team to brainstorm new ideas, features, and improvements
- General management of the platform's development
We’re a start-up so you’ll work closely with the Founder and CEO to define the roadmap for the platform and the resources/tools needed to build and maintain it.
Requirements:
- Ability to think outside the box
- Ability to work independently
- Proficiency with Python, Java, SQL
- Basic experience with FIGMA
- Other languages such as Solidity, would be a bonus
- A passion for software engineering and good attention to detail
- Good communication skills (Fluent in English) and a good understanding of web fundamentals (HMTL/CCS/JS)
What we offer:
A unique and delightful way of working with a compassionate team:
- Flexibility: Work from wherever you want, in the office, from home or wherever inspires and motivates you.
- Sustainably: We’re not your typical start-up. We want our team to be rested and able to perform. With an office that has a PS5 and an arcade machine, if you’re feeling overworked and stressed, take a break; play a game. We’re humans at the end of the day, not robots!
- Organised: We strive for considered decisions, creating software/products that last.
- Pragmatic: POGFI thrives on being pragmatic, allowing us to make the best decisions, rather than keeping to rigid processes and procedures that don’t work well for us
