Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Downtown LA, California)
We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.
Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.
The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, Erlang (being replaced with C++) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.
Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.
We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:
  * [Senior] Front-end Engineer - React; London &amp; LA
  * Data Engineer; London
  * Senior Backend Engineer; London
  * Low-Latency C++ Engineer; London
  * Generalist Software Engineer; London &amp; LA
  * Senior Security Engineer; London
