Full Job Description
The Role

We track odds across sportsbooks, exchanges, and prediction markets in real time, calculating line movement, best available price, edge, and expected value. Our Go monorepo includes sportsbook scrapers, a Redis Streams and ClickHouse data pipeline, and the REST API powering pro.betstamp.com and our props screen. You'll help maintain and improve these systems as feeds change, markets move, and integrations break.

AI is central to how we work. You'll be expected to use coding agents and other AI tools heavily for implementation, debugging, testing, and investigation - while reviewing their output carefully and remaining accountable for the result.

What You'll Own

  • REST API: Build Echo endpoints for markets, fixtures, and line history. Optimize PostgreSQL and ClickHouse queries and resolve performance issues.
  • Sportsbook scrapers: Maintain more than 100 integrations and fix issues caused by feed changes, renamed markets, and blocking.
  • Infrastructure and alerting: Work with Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, and Grafana to deploy services and improve monitoring.
  • Data pipeline and databases: Contribute to Redis Streams, our market processor, Atlas migrations, and ClickHouse schemas.
  • AI-enabled development: Use AI to move faster, improve code quality, and automate repetitive engineering work. You should actively explore new tools and better ways to apply them.

You'll begin with scrapers and gradually take ownership across the stack. Architecture decisions, production incidents, and irreversible changes will be handled alongside a senior engineer.

The Stack

Go 1.25
• PostgreSQL 18, Atlas, and ClickHouse
• Redis/Dragonfly, Redis Streams, and RabbitMQ
• Kubernetes, Docker, and GitHub Actions

What We're Looking For

  • Strong fundamentals in a backend language such as Go, Java, C#, Rust, C++, Kotlin, or server-side TypeScript
  • Comfortable working with SQL and investigating query performance
  • Some experience with Linux and containers
  • Active, thoughtful use of AI coding tools, with the judgment to verify their work
  • An interest in how AI can improve engineering workflows and products
  • A habit of verifying assumptions and communicating clearly
  • Based in Toronto or willing to relocate

Go experience isn't required, but you should be able to become productive in it within a few weeks.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Go, Kubernetes, Prometheus, ClickHouse, or streaming systems
  • Experience scraping websites or reverse-engineering undocumented APIs
  • Experience building internal tools or product features with LLM APIs
  • An interest in sports or betting markets


What's In It for You

  • Competitive salary & raises - share in the upside you build
  • Autonomy & influence - real scope early, not tickets
  • Gear & learning stipend, plus free rein testing and spending on the AI tools of the future
  • World-class betting tools - the same tools professional bettors pay for, free
  • Sports-centric culture - team watch parties, office prop pools, and the inside scoop on sharp bets


The Process

  • 45-min intro call - meet the team, swap questions
  • Lightweight take-home (under 2 hours) - a real problem from this codebase, not a LeetCode exercise
  • Systems conversation - a real problem together, no whiteboard algorithms
  • Final interview - meet leadership
  • Offer - onboarding - shipping to thousands of bettors


We are a team of experienced developers writing exciting new features for Betstamp every day. If you're looking for an opportunity to have increased responsibility, design decisions, and manage projects from start to finish, Betstamp is a good fit for you.

We care more about ability to learn and deliver than ticking every box-if you're close, apply!

Plan to start Sept 2026, but we'll flex for the right person.
