About the Role

The infrastructure behind sports trading is broken and this role gives you the opportunity to fix it. Working across the stack, you'll borrow from the world of modern financial exchanges to build markets that are actually transparent and efficient, while keeping the experience seamless for the people using it. You'll own real-time data pipelines, shape the API that algorithmic traders live in, and have a real say in architecture decisions. One day you're deep in systems-level code, the next you're shipping a frontend component with Design. If sports, markets, and genuinely hard engineering problems get you out of bed in the morning, read on.

Who you are and what you will do
  • Excited to work across the full stack to build the next generation of sports betting infrastructure
  • Apply technologies used in modern financial exchanges to enforce transparent, efficient market practices while delivering a seamless user experience
  • Play a key role shaping both the market engine and the interface through which users engage with it
  • Build and maintain a developer-first API experience for algorithmic trading and power users
  • Expand product features by extending modular backend services and contributing to frontend components
  • Scale real-time data ingestion, processing, and distribution pipelines
  • Collaborate closely with Design and Product teams to build performant, intuitive user interfaces
  • Contribute to architecture and system design decisions across the stack
  • Improve observability and reliability across backend and frontend systems
  • Bring a passion for sports, markets, and technology, with curiosity about complex computer science challenges
  • Hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
  • Proficient in a systems programming language (e.g., Rust, Go, C++) and at least one modern frontend framework (e.g., React, Vue)
  • Experienced developing distributed systems with cloud-based architecture
  • Strong product intuition with the ability to translate business needs into technical solutions
  • Communicate clearly, solve problems effectively, and thrive both independently and in fast-moving, cross-functional teams


Not for everyone
  • Our work is tied to live sports - that means potential nights, weekends, and pressure included.
  • If you need clear swim lanes, a heavy process, or someone to tell you what to do, this won't be the right environment.


Compensation & benefits
  • $200k - $260k base, benchmarked at top-tier tech companies
  • Meaningful equity for every employee, regardless of role
  • 100% health premiums covered
  • 99% dental & vision covered
  • 401(k) with 4% company match
  • HSA + $1,080 annual company contribution
  • $27/day lunch stipend when working from our NYC office
  • $35/day dinner stipend when working from the NYC office after 6:30pm
