React Job: Software Engineer

Who you’ll work with

We’re a tech and digital company that quickly grew to become a market leader in the betting and gaming world.
How? By understanding what our players want, and then giving it to them.
Bigger. Bolder. Better.
At Sky Betting & Gaming you get the chance to become even better than you’ve ever been. It’s a place where you can be who you really want to be and grow the way you want to grow. Everything we’ve done – better – has got us to where we are today.

Your role in ‘better’

• You will be joining a squad responsible for developing low-latency, resilient solutions for our sports platforms.

• These solutions underpin our customer experience by ensuring that we are always using the most up-to-date information to set our odds.

• The squads run as cross-functional, autonomous, agile unit with the mentality of the team succeeding over personal wins. Within the squad all abilities are covered, from software engineering to test and DevOps, although you’ll have the opportunity to contribute across the board so you should have the ambition to continuously learn new things and expand your skill base.

• No previous experience in sports betting? No problem – we have many experts to learn from, and the technical excellence you’ll bring is what we value.

How you’ll create ‘better’

• As a Software Engineer in TDS you will develop solutions that provide racing data into SkyBet trading systems.

• You will contribute to turning concepts, designs and requirements into highly available applications and systems, using industry standard languages and technologies, such as: Java, Kotlin, Kubernetes, Kafka, ReactJS, and AWS.

• Racing is always on - as a team we need to maintain operational excellence and limit any downtime. We engineer our systems to be reliable, resilient, and performant. There is also the option to join the on-call team to support these systems out of office hours.
