CodinGame is a technology company editing an online platform for developers, allowing them to play with programming with increasingly difficult puzzles, to learn to code better with an online programming application supporting twenty-five programming languages, and to compete in multiplayer programming contests involving timed artificial intelligence, or code golf challenges.

CodinGame also serves as a recruiting platform, allowing developers to get noticed by companies based on their performance on the contests.{{cite web |url=http://www.i-programmer.info/news/204-challenges/6626-codingame-contest-for-fun-and-employment.html |title=CodinGame Contest For Fun and Employment |author=Sue Gee |date=21 November 2013 |website=I-programmer.info |access-date=18 October 2016 }}
