Full-Stack Software Engineer

About XBorg

XBorg powers fan engagement for the world's biggest esports teams - Team Liquid, Ninjas in Pyjamas, JD Gaming, and more. We're building the infrastructure that lets these organizations create personalized, gamified experiences for millions of fans.

About the role

We're looking for a full-stack engineer who thrives in a startup environment. You'll work closely with our product team, turning ideas into live features that thousands of esports fans use.

For this role, versatility matters more than years of experience. We care about builders who understand products, ship fast, and leverage AI to move even faster.

• Ship End-to-End Features: Take features from concept to production. You'll be in product discussions, write both frontend and backend code, deploy to production, and monitor how it performs.
• Move Fast, Break Nothing (Important): Launch features quickly, collaborate with the product team to get feedback from esports teams, iterate based on real usage. We'd rather ship something good today than something perfect in three weeks.
• Be Product-Minded: You're not just implementing specs. You'll be in the room when we're figuring out what to build. Your technical insight will shape what we ship.
• Work Across the Stack: Frontend (React, Next.js), Backend (Nest.js, PostgreSQL), APIs, integrations, deployments - you'll touch it all.
• Understand the Product: We're building for esports teams and gaming brands. You don't need to be a hardcore gamer, but you should understand why gamification matters and what makes fans engage.

• Experience with React/Next.js (frontend) and Node.js/Nest.js (backend)
• Comfortable with PostgreSQL, TypeScript, AWS/cloud infrastructure
• Startup experience or mentality - you've shipped fast in resource-constrained environments
• Product mindset - you think about user problems, not just technical implementation
• Genuine interest in gaming/esports - you understand the space we're playing in

• Experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines
• Built features involving gamification, rewards systems, or community engagement
• Worked with third-party API integrations (Discord, Twitter, Steam, etc.)
• Previous experience at a fast-growing startup
• Comfortable with designing and maintaining APIs

• 💰 Competitive salary + XBG token package (15% of the token supply is being distributed twice a year over the next 10 years with additional performances bonuses)
• 🎮 Weekly gaming sessions with the team and community (LoL, CS, we rotate every week)
• ✈️ Bi-yearly team retreats + financial support for conferences and events
• 🌍 Full remote flexibility (work from anywhere)
