London, Greater London, United Kingdom Genius Sports Full time

Are you a visionary tech leader eager to drive innovation at one of the world's fastest-growing sports technology companies? Genius Sports is at the forefront of the global network connecting sports, brands, and fans through official live data.

We champion a more sustainable sports data ecosystem that benefits all parties. If you see yourself becoming part of a global family building the future of sports entertainment together, then join us on this exciting journey.

You will join one of our established or soon-to-be-formed high-performance teams within the Betting division, as we invest heavily in our core and future Betting products. Your focus will be on delivering technical and product-focused initiatives to expand and scale up our industry-leading Sportsbook and Risk Management products.

For instance, our Advanced Risk team was 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, we apply margins asymmetrically to help operators 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. As a Tech Innovation Lead, you and your team will build highly distributed, real-time, dynamically scaling systems using modern CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure.

You will work in a team that prioritizes Agile delivery and continuous improvement. You will have a data-driven, evidence-based mentality, comfortable with the principles of continuous experimentation and validation.

Key Requirements:

  • Expert-level knowledge of at least one object-oriented programming language (C#, Java, JS, Kotlin, Python, PHP, Golang, C++)
  • Understanding of the principles of good software design, familiar with core concepts such as information hiding, abstraction, module design, cohesion, and coupling
  • Knowledge of testing methodology and designing high-quality testing suites resilient to changes in implementation
  • Expert knowledge of C#
  • Broader software architecture skills and detailed knowledge of architectural patterns and applying them to highly scalable, fault-tolerant, observable microservices and systems
  • Building cloud-native applications
  • Data engineering skills
  • Time management and asynchronous communication skills relevant for a remote-first engineering organization
  • Excellent spoken and written English

What We Offer:

A competitive salary of approximately $120,000 per year, annual leave allowance, health insurance, skills training, and much more. Our benefits also include many social events throughout the year, such as summer and winter holiday parties, monthly team-building events, sports tournaments, charity days, and wellbeing activities.

We have adapted a forward-thinking 'Ways of Working' framework, which sets out the opportunities for Geniuses to work flexibly, remotely, and on working holidays. At Genius Sports Group, we are proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We welcome and will consider all applications regardless of age, different abilities or disability, gender reassignment, marriage, pregnancy, maternity, race or nationality, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation (and any other applicable status).
