The BlinkPool mantra has always been Make something doing what you enjoy (by something we mostly mean money) so we have built a platform that allows spectators of live games to do just that. With our proprietary computer vision technology and our team of expert Esport Traders we can offer a plethora of in-game questions to test spectators knowledge of esport games against the communitys.

Esports Trader:
As an Esports Trader it will be your job to create interesting and engaging markets (i.e.questions) for BlinkPool users to wager on. This will be done using our state of the art computer vision technology and your knowledge of esport games.

It will also be part of your job to interpret the voices of users and guide the development of the website so having opinions is no bad thing.

Hours: Minimum of 12 hours a week
Paid Training: 16 hours in London office with expenses paid for
Location: Remote (from home) but training in London

You Are:
- A gamer: First and foremost you need to understand the game you are making markets for. You dont have to be 7k MMR, in Challenger division, Legendary Eagle or Grandmaster but understanding the meta and current patches is imperative.

- Analytical: Being an esport trader requires more than just watching the game. You will need to watch, analyse and think of questions all at the same time as monitoring the markets and users.

- A problem solver: We have some high tech tools at our disposal but things go wrong (a lot less often than they used to) so there will be times when you will need to work out problems on the fly.

- Comfortable with numbers: The brain of Einstein wont be necessary but at the end of the day esports are a game of numbers and so is BlinkPool.

- Passionate: Passionate for esports. Passionate for gaming. Passionate for working on something different. Passionate.

- Over 18: We cant and dont want to hire anyone under the age of 18 so if you are under 18 - GTFO.

You Will:
- Watch and analyse live Dota 2 games.
- Create, close and settle markets during live games using our custom software.
- Engage with users and build up the hype in chat
- Maintain and update our schedule
- Attend weekly feedback meetings and help guide product development
