The Role
You will join one of our established high-performing teams within the Betting division, as we invest in our core and future Betting products. You will be focusing on the delivery of technical and product-focused initiatives, to expand and scale up our industry's leading Sportsbook and Risk Management products.
One example is our Advanced Risk team, who were set up to challenge conventional wisdom about risk management for sports betting operators. Using new measures of liability that take account of correlations between different markets on an event, and by monitoring betting patterns from the moment an event is opened for betting, we apply margins asymmetrically in a way that helps operators to make higher profit margins, reduce volatility and improve customer experience with greater uptime and fewer rejected bets. Our software provides customers with a new level of flexibility over the way they manage their Sportsbooks to meet their financial objectives. Smart algorithms allow decisions about bets to be taken quickly at scale while enabling close control when desired, reminiscent of earlier days of sports betting.
How will you work?
Join a specially formed, highly skilled team delivering an innovative & intelligent product! Forming part of a multi-disciplinary Agile team of Software Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Data Scientists, QA Engineer and a Product Owner, you will look to work closely to the fundamental principles of continuous delivery and empowered, high-performing teams.
We operate in a squad model to allow focus on the business top priorities, allowing exposure across multiple products while still maintaining strong ownership of your team’s domain.
As a Software Engineer III, you and your team will build highly distributed, real-time, dynamically scaling systems using modern CI/CD pipelines & cloud infrastructure. You will be responsible for innovating, architecting, delivering & maintaining an industry-revolutionising product.
The monthly salary for this full-time role ranges from €4,800 to €6,000 gross. This role will also be eligible to take part in Genius Sports Group's benefits plan. We enjoy an ‘office-first’ culture and maximize opportunities to collaborate, connect and learn together. Our hybrid working models differ depending on your role and location. As well as a competitive salary and range of benefits, we’re committed to supporting employee wellbeing and helping you grow your skills, experience and career.
