We’ve already built a significant presence in the chess world, reaching 5 million people every month through our content. Now, we’re building on that momentum with a new app. It lets players play chess, get feedback from our coach, and share their progress along the way. It’s live on Google Play and the App Store, if you want to try it for yourself.

The road ahead will be tough, but exciting. We’re taking on Chess.com, the biggest chess platform in the world, and building for the 600 million people who play chess globally.

You’ll have real ownership over what you ship and work closely with designers, product, and other engineers in a small, fast‑moving team.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who loves taking ideas from concept to production. You’ll help decide what we build next, then bring it to life.
