Arena Online

How Arena Online Was Born

A couple of years ago, we noticed that competitive video gaming was on the rise (otherwise known as eSports). Fans were filling up stadiums to watch their favorite teams and players compete, but we noticed a problem. We saw $25 million in cash prizes get paid out to less than .1% of gamers. What about the other 99.9% of the fanatical supporters, why can't they experience tournaments like this from the comfort of their own homes? That is when Arena Online was born. 2 years ago we assembled a team that was the wrong team, and the idea was shelved, until now. Recently we partnered with Brian Bogus and his development team from Abstract Media, and we have been full steam ahead ever since. We are currently closing our Series A round and our team is housed in a 2 story boutique office.

The Interview Process

Finding the right developers is a slow, and sometimes grueling process. A passion for games is a must, and a passion to leave your thumbprint on the eSports vertical is a big bonus.
We at Arena Online thrive in a team environment, we edify, teach, challenge and pick each other up when mistakes are made. We have an open, creative and driven office culture and we are looking for someone who wants to be a significant cog in our Arena Online project.
We typically kick off the process with a phone call. We just want to learn a little bit more about you and may have a few questions about your resume. The first interview we want to get to know you, what drives you as a coder, and answer your questions about us. This is a great opportunity for us to make sure that we are a good culture fit for each other.
If the vibes are good, we will have a second interview that is more technical in nature. We will want to look at some of your code, answer technical questions and have you demonstrate your capabilities. If you are from out of town, we will likely merge these 2 interviews into a single day and treat you to lunch.
