Pros

Skillz led the industry in bringing mobile esports gaming to everyone. It is really an incredible opportunity. It’s fun, you’re working in very young industry and have the power to make a crazy amount of impact on that industry. Skillz is still poised to capture the majority of that industry over the next few years.

It’s a fast paced start up, which always leads to tough problems to solve on the technical side. It’s not an easy job, hard work is expected but that does mean you’ll often be working with incredible smart and talented people from all walks of life.
