Company mission
To further the esports ecosystem by offering players of all levels the chance to compete in a competitive environment with the games they love.
Role
Who you are
- Prior experience as a Product Manager or Owner, working with high-performance teams working on B2B products (SDK, Rest APIs, Developer Tools, Webhooks and more)
- Experience with Scrum or Kanban, working within an agile environment
- The ability to comfortably test the tech solutions the team is working on and provide guidance and feedback to the Engineering Manager and developers
- The ability to lead teams through product discovery, rapid prototyping and experimentation
- Prior experience or background in engineering or development is preferable, as this role will be participating in technical discussions with our engineering teams
- A creative problem solver – we’d love to hear about the difficult projects you have worked on
- A passion for gaming and esports would be ideal, as that is our customer base
What the job involves
- You will be leading and driving the success of our B2B tools for game developers, from providing them an SDK for competitive play to APIs to deal with anti-toxicity in their games
- This includes anything from providing a Unity, Unreal, C++ and C# SDK for competitive play, a cutting-edge anti-cheat, and industry leading machine learning anti-toxicity solutions for game developers of all sizes, working across different platforms and engines
- You will be collaborating with other Product Managers who want to bring new features and experiences to the SaaS business efforts, helping and supporting them navigate ways of achieving their goals while guiding them to produce great results, while keeping the B2B experience top-notch
- You will work closely with our VP of Labs & Community Integrity to define the vision, strategies, goals, and roadmaps that will deliver game-changing results
Our take
In recent years, competitive gaming has become a professional spectator sport that draws huge online crowds. FACEIT is a platform that allows developers to run their own online tournaments; providing ranking charts, skill-based matchmaking and anti-cheat software to ensure that these events are as fair as any traditional sporting competition.
The esports market is projected to be worth about £7.5 billion globally by 2030, and FACEIT has attracted large scale investments as it continues to innovate in this market. Not all of its moves have panned out, for example its foray into crypto gaming, but many others have been well-received by developers.
FACEIT continues to release and support new gaming products for the ever-expanding sector, which shows no signs of slowing down. Despite this success, it has undergone a phase of restructuring recently which included staff layoffs. But the company says this marks the end of a phase of change, and that these decisions will position it better for long-term and sustainable growth
