Our applications help gamers play better by providing in-game enhancements, real-time scouting of enemy teams, unique performance insights, up-to-date stats, and personal progress tracking.

Originally founded back in 2018 with a mission to enhance the gaming experience by empowering players with expert analytics designed to help them improve and win more.

In order to help assess and maintain a quality product, QA analysts will need to have an eye for detail and the foresight to predict unexpected interactions users may have with our product. You will need to work autonomously and efficiently to ensure all major releases and new features are published while upholding our high standards of quality. QA analysts will need strong communication skills to ensure that product and business requirements are understood and manually reviewed against.

We welcome remote workers and prefer those based in Los Angeles, CA. We consider it a strength if you are online roughly during Pacific Time Zone business hours.
