Job description
We think we could be a perfect match!
Are you excited about working on cutting-edge projects in the online betting space? Do you want to be part of a team building highly reliable, low-latency systems—similar to the transactional systems of top financial institutions, but with a fun twist? Would you like to collaborate with top-notch developers, QA specialists, DevOps engineers, and project managers?
Joining us means being at the heart of a technological revolution at one of the world’s most trusted betting and gaming companies. Our projects range from developing widgets to creating desktop and mobile betting sites. Every Saturday, we process thousands of Sportsbook bets per second—comparable to the volume Amazon UK handles on its busiest day. We serve over 20 million users and manage 160 terabytes of data daily. Sound impressive? That’s just the beginning; we have many more challenges ahead.

- Ensure adherence to industry best practices and standards across infrastructure and applications
- Maintain and advance the Infrastructure-as-Code approach using Ansible, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes
- Ensure high availability and reliability of infrastructure and applications
- Develop automation tools to streamline service and infrastructure management
- Support deployment teams and enhance the development pipeline
- Automate the application lifecycle, leveraging DevOps and Continuous Delivery/Deployment practices
- Develop effective tooling, alerts, and response mechanisms to address reliability risks
- Mentor and coach junior team members, fostering skill development and knowledge sharing
Who we are looking for
- Experience as a Cloud & System Engineer in complex environments, hands-on experience with AWS services (ALB, NLB, EC2, ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda, etc.)
- In-depth understanding of cloud paradigms (IaaS, CaaS, PaaS, microservices), experience in automated deployments, and managing scalable infrastructure with tools like Terraform, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or Salt
- Experience with containerized services (Docker), Blue/Green and Canary deployment strategies, managing infrastructure as code, and building highly automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, SonarQube)
- Knowledge of distributed systems, performance and availability challenges, scripting (Bash, Python, Ruby), Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban), and willingness to provide rotational on-call support.
- Advantageous if you have certifications in AWS, Kubernetes, or prior experience in software development
