What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Esports Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Esports Engineer, you need expertise in networking, server management, and troubleshooting, often supported by a degree in computer science or IT and experience with gaming platforms. Familiarity with cloud computing services, game engines, remote access tools, and relevant certifications like CompTIA Network+ or AWS Certified Solutions Architect is common. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and adaptability are crucial soft skills for managing live events and collaborating with distributed teams. These skills ensure smooth, secure, and reliable esports operations, which are vital for player experience and broadcast quality.

How does working as a Remote Esports Engineer differ from on-site roles in terms of team collaboration and communication?

As a Remote Esports Engineer, you'll often collaborate with cross-functional teams—including game developers, event organizers, and broadcast specialists—primarily through digital platforms like Slack, Zoom, or project management tools. While the core technical responsibilities remain similar to on-site roles, remote work requires proactive communication and strong documentation skills to ensure everyone stays aligned. Regular virtual stand-ups, code reviews, and shared repositories are common practices to maintain team cohesion. You may also navigate time zone differences, which can offer flexibility but also require careful scheduling to coordinate effectively.

What is a Remote Esports Engine?

A Remote Esports Engine is a software platform or service that enables the management, hosting, and broadcasting of esports tournaments and matches remotely. It integrates features such as matchmaking, live scoring, spectating, and communication tools, allowing players, organizers, and viewers to participate from different locations. This technology is essential for running professional esports competitions securely and efficiently without requiring participants to be on-site.

Job description

Description

As our user base grows and we enter new global regions, the demand to create new and better products is increasing. We're focused on having the best product in the gambling space. We aren’t willing to accept being marginally better.

Being the most engaged esports betting brand in the world, we are now looking to step things up even more by turning Rivalry into a leading next generation entertainment brand at the forefront of internet culture. That’s where we’re looking at you, Social Media Manager! Come for the ride with Rivalry and help lead the social strategy and our team of specialists into this next phase of growth.

The role
As the leading esports betting brand, a love for esports is a must. Our ideal candidate is a certified internet "culture vulture" who’s fluent in online trends and has a sixth sense of what might come next. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of skills who will be responsible for managing a content calendar and maintaining strategically-built communities, to ideating around larger social activations and pitching innovative content. Together with Creative and Marketing, you will be spearheading the social brand strategy for Rivalry, and focus on creating top tier content on a global scale. Currently, we have over 100+ partners in over 10 countries – and we’re just getting started.
 
We believe in building community through social and content, bringing our audience closer to their favorite esports and sports, creating experiences they undeniably want to be a part of. We’re looking for your experience, unique taste and ideas to keep pushing this narrative and further expand the Rivalry universe.
Rivalry was fully remote before fully remote became a thing, which means that your role will be that as well, but ideally you work in a timezone that is +/- 3hrs EST. 

If you’ve made it this far we are sort of assuming you might be interested, so let’s keep going. Here is a bullet point list of things we’re looking for you to do, because what would a job application look like without one of these lists?

  • Pitch daily, weekly, & monthly content tailored to drive engagement on each of Rivalry’s social media channels.
  • Ensure the company’s Country Leads feel involved and able to collaborate on efforts where their localized expertise and partners can elevate an effort, or be an integral part of one. As a manager your role is to enhance and help leads develop ideas that can be fit for purpose on SoMe and achieve brand and business objectives.
  • Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok community management (knowledge of Youtube and SEO copy is a plus)
  • Monitor wider social conversations and competitor landscape
  • Write/revise social copy and scripting for social assets (i.e. crafting Instagram Stories, short video assets, pulling GIFs, etc.)
  • Qualitative and quantitative social performance analysis for weekly CM reports and campaign wrap reports
  • Curate on-brand content from Rivalry and non-Rivalry sources for all global regions.

Requirements:
