Join a small, elite engineering team as a founding-level systems engineer building high-performance technology for a data-intensive real-time market. You will tackle demanding problems where latency, reliability, and throughput are critical, with significant ownership over technical decisions. Rust is preferred but not mandatory; strong engineering ability and rapid learning matter most.
Highlights
Founding-level opportunity with substantial ownership and influence in a small, highly technical engineering team working on high-performance, low-latency systems and real-time data.
Description
Software Engineer – Rust / Systems
We're working with one of the most exciting early-stage technology companies operating at the intersection of sports, data and trading.
They are building technology for the US sports betting market, working with some of the biggest names in the industry and processing significant volumes of real-time data and transactions.
The engineering team is small, highly technical and growing quickly.
They've already attracted engineers from companies including Meta and Google, and they're looking for exceptional engineers who want genuine ownership and the opportunity to have a major impact.
The Role
You'll join a small engineering team working on a technically challenging product where performance, reliability and low latency matter.
Rust is the current language of choice, but you don't need prior Rust experience.
They're much more interested in finding outstanding engineers who are strong technically, think clearly and can pick up new technologies quickly.
You'll have a high level of autonomy and will be involved in building core systems across areas including:
High-performance, low-latency systemsReal-time sports data and analyticsTrading and execution infrastructureIntegrations with major US betting platformsIn-game betting and real-time wagering productsNew product development and expansion into new geographiesBuilding out new AI and modelling capabilitiesThere's a lot of greenfield work ahead, with the team already working against a clear 6-month roadmap and ambitious plans beyond that.
What They're Looking For
They're looking for the best engineers they can find, rather than hiring against a rigid checklist.
You could be working in Rust, C++, Java, Go, Python or another strong technical language.
What matters is that you have:
Strong software engineering fundamentalsExperience building and owning production systemsThe ability to work through complex technical problems independentlyA genuine interest in building great productsThe curiosity to learn new technologies quicklyExperience with Rust, low-latency systems, trading, data or sports would be useful, but isn't essential.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to join a company while the engineering team is still small enough for individual engineers to have a huge amount of influence.
The business has been growing rapidly, has been doubling revenue and is already operating at significant scale, with millions of consumers interacting with its products and hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through the platform.
You'll be surrounded by an exceptionally strong engineering team, with people coming from some of the world's best technology companies and universities.
They're now hiring aggressively as they build out the next stage of the team.
What you can expect:
Competitive SalaryUp to 20% bonusSignificant technical autonomyVery high-calibre engineering team5 days a week in their Marylebone officeLunch and dinner providedRegular team offsites, including trips around NFL gamesTickets to major sporting eventsVisa sponsorship availableThe opportunity to work on genuinely high-scale, real-time systemsIf you're an exceptional software engineer who wants to work alongside some of the strongest engineers in the market and build technology at the heart of the rapidly growing US sports betting industry, this is one worth exploring.
