Staff Engineer / Tech Lead - Real-Time Trading Data

About Us Betstamp is the pricing intelligence layer for sports betting. We turn 200+ sportsbooks, exchanges, and prediction markets into one sharp, real-time view of fair value — for the sportsbooks that price against it, the bettors who bet with it, and the traders who move on it. We launched in 2020, built by professional bettors who needed sharper tools than the market offered and won at scale using them. That same pricing now runs as infrastructure across the industry. Because it's still used to win real money, it can't drift — every model is backtested against years of closing lines and monitored continuously. What our customers run on is the pricing we stake our own edge on. What We Build One pricing engine, delivered three ways: Sportsbooks and operators get fair-value pricing on player props, alternates, and ladders, correlation-aware same-game-parlay pricing, and a normalized real-time and historical feed that drops into their existing trading stackProfessional bettors get Betstamp PRO, the professional odds screen — True Line pricing across 200+ books and real-time edge detection the moment a market is mispricedPrediction market traders get the raw feed by API: sub-second data on every market we cover, benchmarked against the full spread of books and exchanges 200+ sportsbooks and operators. 2,500+ markets. Sub-second refresh. Why Betstamp We're at the point where a product built for bettors has become infrastructure the industry runs on — and prediction markets have opened a category that barely existed three years ago. That's a rare window, and we're small enough that the people who join now shape what gets built rather than maintain what already exists. The work has unusual clarity to it. Pricing is either sharp or it isn't, and our customers would know within a day if it weren't. You'll see the effect of your work quickly, and you'll be trusted with real scope early. Careers Learn more at https://betstamp.com/careers The Role You'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 servicesHands-on delivery: Ship code regularly, including the work that requires senior judgment — complex migrations, production incidents, irreversible changesTechnical mentoring: Review code, raise the bar, and help develop the engineers around youAI-enabled engineering: Improve team output without lowering the bar for correctness, security, or maintainabilityProduction reliability: Uptime, alerting, incident response, and the operational practices behind a feed people trade onPlanning: 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 RabbitMQKubernetes, Docker, and GitHub ActionsPrometheus and GrafanaReact 19, Vite, TypeScript, and TailwindPlaywright, gRPC, and rotating proxy infrastructure What We're Looking For Several years building and operating production backend systemsStrong experience with a typed, compiled languageExperience owning critical systems and responding to production incidentsTechnical leadership experience — as a lead, staff engineer, or the person everyone actually askedHeavy, practical use of AI coding tools, combined with strong technical judgmentStrong current coding and code-review skillsAbility to scope work, set timelines, and communicate when plans changeBased 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.
