About Endgame

Endgame is building the chess platform of the future. Our mission is to make chess global, open, and accessible to everyone. Founded by a top Chess Grandmaster and backed by leading venture capitalists, we’re building a world-class team at the intersection of chess, technology, and global scale. Our team brings together Chess Champions, Stanford-trained engineers, former operators and investors, and engineering leaders who have built some of the most widely used chess features in the world.

For too long, chess has been controlled by insiders. Endgame is here to change that — and we’re looking for passionate, talented people to join us.
