We're hiring full-stack or computer vision engineers to help build dope products for gamers.
Blitz Esports is a 11 person esports tech & media startup (backed by YC, Greylock, KPCB) based in both Los Angeles and in Berkeley. We're looking specifically for 1-2 more engineers to join our engineering team in Berkeley, where we're developing a desktop companion app that uses computer vision, data-driven insights, and expert-crafted content to help gamers make better in-game decisions. Think of it like an "automated friend" that sits next to you that tells you what you need to do to win/get better. The games we're currently focus on are League of Legends, Overwatch, and CS:GO.
The work is a lot of fun but pretty technically challenging. Basically both a concurrency and scaling problem (on the data-driven insights part where we parse and aggregate millions of match data), and also how do you do image processing in real-time without dropping gamers' FPS significantly.
