Join our talented team to work on high-load distributed systems that handle thousands of requests per second and send millions of push notifications in real-time.
About us
Forza Football was founded in 2012 in Gothenburg, with the first version of the Forza Football app (called Live Score Addicts back in the days) released on a bus going between Norrköping and Katrineholm. The application includes lineups, push notifications, opinion polls, highlights for football leagues, and cups designed to keep fans up-to-date with the sport.
We experiment all the time and fail a lot. We take learnings from everything we do in order to grow as a company. We’re always looking to improve the products, the team, ourselves, and the organization, and we do it together.
We work in cross-functional teams where each team has ownership of its goals. This means you have autonomy in your team to make the decisions that make you able to reach your goals.
Elixir is the core ecosystem of our product development.
