Job Description

**About BloxGame:** BloxGame is revolutionizing the iGaming industry by
pioneering a new era of leveraging virtual video-game economies. Our
innovative platforms allow players to place bets using virtual items from
popular video games, tapping into the billion-dollar virtual economies that
have been largely untouched by the iGaming world. We're not just following
trends; we're setting them.

At BloxGame, we're committed to leading by example. Our mission is to create a
transparent, community-driven, and innovative iGaming experience that puts
players first. We will be the first fully regulated and licensed iGaming
website with a focus on video-game items. In just two years, we've achieved
remarkable growth among our products, attracting over 3 million registered
users and generating Series A level revenue – all while remaining profitable
and 100% self-funded (we choose our own destiny!)

Behind our success is a small but mighty team of close to a dozen people, each
individual bringing deep expertise in their respective fields. We're
passionate about our mission and work collaboratively to turn our shared
vision into reality. As we continue to grow, we're seeking talented, driven
professionals who share our values and want to make a lasting impact on the
iGaming landscape. If you're ready to join a company that's not just riding
the wave but creating it, BloxGame is the place for you!
