Tornelo was created in 2008, but relaunched in March 2020 when Covid-19 changed the way the world thought about chess tournaments. We are seeing rapid growth as we hit developmental and business milestones. In August 2020 we secured a endorsement as the official Event Management Platform of the European Chess Union, representing ~70% of the world’s FIDE rated chess players.

We’re firmly focused on ensuring Tornelo becomes the most used chess tournament management platform around the world, be that for online, offline or hybrid tournaments.
​
​In order to do this, we must ensure the whole of Tornelo’s web experience and presence is top-notch, seamless, delightful to the customer, and built on a scalable platform and infrastructure to ensure mission critical, real-time live event stability.

In this role, not only will you be able to get your hands on a wide range of web technologies within a small, high performance team – you will also have an impact across the business while working to ensure we’re creating, developing and continuing to deliver the rich web experience our users know and love.
