We're Hiring a Full-Stack Developer

Every day, thousands of StarCraft players use GGTracker to analyze their games and get better faster. We worked with Blizzard to extend the replay file format and enhance their tournament videos.

Now we're building a next-generation automated coaching platform, starting with StarCraft.

Imagine if you could subscribe to your favorite Pro player as a student; the Pro's system would analyze your playstyle, tell you what you need to work on, and help you along every step of the way. Our platform will make it possible.

Requirements
  • You've built a nontrivial website from top to bottom
  • You're productive, organized and like to learn
  • Architectural decisions are fun and interesting to you
  • Javascript && [Ruby || Python]
  • Full-time on location in New York City
  • Math and data skills are nice to have, but definitely not required.

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary, equity and benefits
  • The satisfaction of making thousands of StarCraft players happy
  • You'll work closely with David Joerg
  • You'll build something truly groundbreaking you can be proud of.

Automated coaching? You can't be serious.

It's for real serious! We are going to build the world's first automated sports coaching system. The same principles that are used in automated finance, voice recognition and self-driving cars can be used to analyze a player's strengths and weaknesses. We are in discussions with several well-known StarCraft coaches to design scripted coaching systems.

What Else Will We Do?
  • Build awesome new features, and improve upon what's already there:
  • Advanced search and analytic reports for our GGTracker Pro subscribers
  • Custom projects for our partner Leagues, Casters and Pros
  • Finding games with specific build orders or build order counters
  • Following your friends. Clan support. Replay pack support.
  • Analyzing the shifts in game balance, unit usage and the metagame
  • Other games. Maybe chess should be next.
  • You probably have some great ideas for GGTracker, we'll do those too!

How to Apply

Email dsjoerg at ggtracker dot com, including a resume/CV and a link to a website you've built.

If you don't fit the bill for this job, you can still be a hero. Do you know someone who is perfect for this job? Please tell them! Tell lots of people and you can earn a free year of GGTracker Pro.

When applying, make the subject of your email DEFIANTLY DETAIL ORIENTATED to get extra credit for being the kind of person who reads to the end and pays attention.

Haha, your title really caught my eye (started to get alittle mad, how could TL let a thread about hacking starcraft get through?!). This sounds pretty awesome though, hope you find someone!

Does GG tracker have a way to auto upload replays? Maybe you could contact the guy behind sc2replaystats and combine your best components to make 1 epic replay stats source. I like some of the components of each of yours :D

"Earn a free year of GGTracker Pro" Why not make it free for everyone and get the $$$ from advertisement? Or make a premium version. I suppose it is a website that does depend a lot on the community, so I think easy access for them is important.

Anyways, It is all very appealing, but "Full-time on location in New York City" won't be happening for me anytime soon.

Good luck with your venture!

Kind regards,

Dijego

I wouldn't pay for an automatic coaching system. If it were free I would give it a shot, but I wouldn't pay 2€ for something like that. Just my 2 cents as a potential user, do what you want with it.

I say it everywhere and I'll say it here again: David is one of the coolest people you can work with when you have a genuine love for both tech and numbers (and starcraft obviously.) He's absolutely serious about this and it's not just something he does to earn some quick cash.

If you're unsure whether this would be a gig for you just drop him a line. I'm pretty damn sure you won't regret it.

Also: the tech stack of ggtracker is full of cool stuff like AngularJS and redis. You'll love making it even better

Well... If you payed attention at all, you would notice that the website is, in fact, free to use. And "Earning a free year of GGTracker Pro" is, in fact, their premium version

perhaps the guy who initially created drop.sc and tried to sell it recently would be interested in the position, he seemed that he wanted to continue but it wasn't financially responsible to do so.

would be great to fuse the two projects together to be able to analyze even more replays

Just wanted to say that www.chess.com already have something called "Virtual Chess Coach" which is basically that..
Have a nice day ;)

@Dumbledore, thanks for the heads up. Have you tried chess.com's coach? It does not appear to adapt the material to the student's needs except for choose material that's appropriate to their ELO. A better coach, like a human, chooses material that addresses the holes in the student's game (or leaks, as Day[9] would say). That is our goal -- to build a coach, not just a library of lessons sorted by ELO.

One, the founder, the guy noted in the last second of the description.
He's looking for an industry professional located in NY with startup experience and a solid portfolio, preferably passionate about the advanced math side of things. Unfortunately from my brief emailing with him he seems to be biased against youngsters, which is no fault of his own, just part of the east coast startup culture.
Best of luck to whoever gets the job (if he ends up hiring anyone). Definitely not an easy job, hopefully it goes well

@pigmanbear, thank you. it always makes David Joerg feel special to refer to himself that way.

@CatNzHat, people of all ages are welcome to apply. People with less experience often have not built a nontrivial website from top to bottom, and may not have experience with architectural decisions, but if they meet those criteria, then I am interested.

If you don't intend to reveal details yet then please disregard, but...
Is the intention to gather specific, limited-scope, common denominator type lessons from prominent SC2 coaches, and then distribute these as... videos? On screen reminders in real time during gameplay? Interactive lessons on a website?

Will there be enough content to make it worth replay analysis to determine what an individual's needs are? That seems like a very deep and painstaking assembly of firsthand knowledge.
Comprehensive strategic intention: DNE

@EatThePath, the plan for the coaching platform has several parts:

  • A system for continuously assessing a player's strengths and weaknesses based on their games / replays
  • Each coach on the system will have a set of lessons, which, depending on the coach, may be primarily text, primarily video, or some combination of the two.
  • Lessons will be prioritized based on player strengths and weaknesses
  • Each lesson has objective criteria for when it is cleared / passed
  • The system is designed to be useful for Bronze to Diamond. Above Diamond, we expect that player's problems are often too subtle for automated replay analysis to pick them up.


That's the dry, high-level description. In practice our goal is to help people break through "the wall" of not getting better in StarCraft in a way that's more fun, focused, objective and rewarding than just laddering endlessly without guidance or clear ideas of how to improve.
