About the company

We're a fast-moving startup that builds and manages sports betting brands tailored for the educated gambler. With a platform built and funded by a quantitative sports betting fund over six years ago, our flagship brand serves players who value insight, product clarity, and control. We believe the future of gaming belongs to customers who expect more — and we’re building the tools to deliver just that.

As a small, high-impact team, we’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative without waiting for instructions, and is equally comfortable coordinating projects, shaping product requirements, and jumping on a call to solve a user issue.

Today, our goal is to modernize bookmaking by empowering innovative brands with tools to optimize their operations and drive efficiency.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead the development of data-driven products, including building customer data pipelines and enhancing backend systems.
• Create high-performance, real-time data systems for managing and analyzing customer data streams.
• Drive system improvements, including developing algorithms for data normalization and ensuring seamless API integrations.
• Maintain and enhance the order flow management systems and dashboards that are crucial to our operations.
• Automate repetitive tasks to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort across teams.

What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience in software development, data warehousing, and cloud technologies. Sports betting and iGaming experience are a plus, but not required.
• Strong backend experience in one of the following languages: Ruby, Rust, Node.js, or Python.
• Solid understanding of Kubernetes, AWS (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB), and cloud technologies.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools and dashboarding (e.g., Looker, Grafana).
• Experience with building and maintaining robust API integrations.
• Bonus points for experience in CRM system integration.
• Self-starter with the ability to work autonomously and thrive in a startup environment. Comfortable with the fast-paced, ever-evolving nature of the startup world.

Why Us?

• No corporate overhead: Enjoy a fast-paced environment with minimal red tape.
• Direct impact: Your decisions will shape the products we build and drive our company forward.
• Real influence: Join a team that values your input and empowers you to make meaningful contributions.
• Exciting growth: As a key member of our team, you’ll play a pivotal role in innovating the next generation of sports betting solutions.
