Job ID: 3144113 | Twitch Interactive, Inc.
About Us: Twitch is the world's biggest live streaming service, with global communities built around gaming, entertainment, music, sports, cooking, and more. It is where thousands of communities come together for whatever, every day. We're about community, inside and out. You'll find coworkers who are eager to team up, collaborate, and smash or elegantly solve problems together. We're on a quest to empower live communities.
About the Role: The Discovery Team in App Experiences manages a wide array of features and systems to help communities form, grow, and thrive on Twitch. These features let people participate in their favorite communities and discover new ones more efficiently. We work hard to bring novel opportunities to the world of streaming both individually and in collaboration with similar streamers. Our consumer‐facing features span both web and mobile surfaces, and we're working hard to build fast, reliable, and easy to understand client‐side experiences. This position is primarily focused across the entire stack (React and Golang) but will lean initially more toward backend systems, with future efforts moving more client‐side. You can work from San Francisco, CA; Irvine, CA; or Seattle, WA.
