The RoleYou'll take technical ownership of our real-time data platform - a Go monorepo with 100+ source integrations, a Redis Streams and ClickHouse pipeline, and the API and web app that deliver line movement, edge, and expected value at sub-second refresh. This is a senior role for someone who wants their hands in the code and their judgment on the architecture: roughly half technical leadership (direction, review, mentoring, planning), half building.
AI is central to how we expect the team to operate. You'll use AI tools heavily in your own work, set the standard for the team, and continually evaluate how new capabilities can improve our development process and products.
What You'll Own- Architecture: Decide what gets built, improved, or retired across the monorepo, pro.betstamp.com, and supporting services.
- Hands-on delivery: Ship code regularly, including the work that requires senior judgment - complex migrations, production incidents, irreversible changes.
- Technical mentoring: Review code, raise the bar, and help develop the engineers around you.
- AI-enabled engineering: Improve team output without lowering the bar for correctness, security, or maintainability.
- Production reliability: Uptime, alerting, incident response, and the operational practices behind a feed people trade on.
- Planning: Scope work, set timelines, communicate tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The Stack- Go 1.25 monorepo
- PostgreSQL 18, Atlas, and ClickHouse
- Redis/Dragonfly, Redis Streams, and RabbitMQ
- Kubernetes, Docker, and GitHub Actions
- Prometheus and Grafana
- React 19, Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind
- Playwright, gRPC, and rotating proxy infrastructure
What We're Looking For- Several years building and operating production backend systems
- Strong experience with a typed, compiled language
- Experience owning critical systems and responding to production incidents
- Technical leadership experience - as a lead, staff engineer, or the person everyone actually asked
- Heavy, practical use of AI coding tools, combined with strong technical judgment
- Strong current coding and code-review skills
- Ability to scope work, set timelines, and communicate when plans change
- Based in Toronto or willing to relocate
Go experience isn't required, but you should become productive in it quickly and be able to review it confidently within a few months.
Nice to Have- Experience with Go, Kubernetes, ClickHouse, or high-throughput streaming systems
- Experience with odds, market data, trading systems, or other real-time financial products
- Experience owning the full technical stack at a small company
- Experience with scraping at scale, including anti-bot systems, proxy rotation, or browser automation
- Experience building products or internal workflows with LLM APIs
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 design interview - a real architecture problem together, no whiteboard algorithms
- Final interview - meet the founders, hear the vision for the role
- Offer - onboarding - shipping
