Our mission is to redefine how fans engage with the moments and markets that matter most. We're looking for the right people to help us build the future of prediction markets. Role Overview As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will be a key driver of our core infrastructure and developer experience. You will design and implement durable platform abstractions and partner with engineering leads to ensure our systems enable rapid innovation without compromising stability or security. This role requires a balance of deep hands-on engineering and systems thinking. You will own complex features from ideation to production, championing best-in-class platform standards and mentoring mid-level engineers while remaining deeply embedded in the codebase. On the engineering side, we are pioneering the use of AI as a code collaborator. We need engineers who have moved beyond experimentation—who actively use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to ship production code faster while maintaining exceptional quality. Responsibilities Implement team-level standards for AI-augmented development, utilizing prompt engineering and validation frameworks to increase velocity without sacrificing code quality. Identify and mitigate AI-generated code pitfalls, such as security vulnerabilities or over-abstraction, and assist in tracking team productivity metrics. Design, build, and maintain highly available cloud-native infrastructure, ensuring the platform scales reliably with our growing user base. Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling to eliminate friction in the software delivery lifecycle. Implement and maintain platform security safeguards and compliance standards to protect the integrity of the firm’s systems. Contribute to the system observability roadmap by implementing monitoring, tracing, and alerting to ensure high operational reliability. Partner with product and engineering teams to translate technical requirements into scalable platform solutions. Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, lead incident response for team-owned services, and advocate for modern engineering best practices. Experience and Skills 5 plus years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or backend engineering, with a track record of building scalable, cloud-native environments (AWS/Kubernetes). Strong proficiency in using AI collaborators (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to ship production code and an ability to optimize personal development workflows. Ability to evaluate AI-generated code for security gaps or architectural "hallucinations" and implement rigorous testing strategies. Strong hands-on experience with IaC frameworks such as Terraform , Pulumi, or CloudFormation. High proficiency in Java and Python (Golang is a plus). You should be comfortable bridging the gap between infrastructure and application logic. Experience building mature CI/CD pipelines and working with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog). Proven ability to take ownership of complex projects in a fast-paced environment, balancing speed with architectural health. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with distributed engineering and product teams. Preferred Qualifications Experience in high-growth startup environments. Experience with financial systems, real-money transactions, or regulatory compliance. Background in building internal developer tools or CLI applications. Experience leading small project groups or "squads" within a larger team. Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components, such as onsite interviews or Launching into Better: LIVE—a multi-day cultural immersion in New York City for full-time, non-seasonal hires. These sessions are designed to build connection and bring our culture to life, though specific travel and participation requirements will be confirmed based on your role and location. Your recruiter will provide clear guidance at each stage of the process. Ready to build the future of sports betting? If you possess some of these skills but not all of them, we still encourage you to apply! Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position. We are open to fully remote candidates based in the United Kingdom. Remote employee may also be eligible for a home office setup stipend. #LI-Remote #LI-AL1 By submitting your application, you agree to our terms of service and acknowledge you have read our Candidate Privacy Policy.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.

Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.

Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.

When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
