The Position

We are hiring across our Edinburgh technology teams, from our Sportsbook product to our Responsible Gaming and Compliance vertical for Software Engineers with a front-end focus. Each team has a different focus, but shares the same values and culture when it comes to encouraging proactive individuals to take on new challenges, and learn and grow.

As a Software Engineer, you will be working on products with millions of customers and incredibly high throughput; addressing challenges around performance and scalability; understanding the dependencies affected by changes you make; creating SDKs and having autonomy to make decisions that will further the business.

Leverage customer insights/data to inform decisions, balancing value for the customer with other business goals

Actively participating in sprint ceremonies like daily huddles, backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint review and sprint retrospective
Engaging in code reviews and pair-programming

What We’re Looking For

Experience developing mainly frontend applications (or fullstack!) with React, React Native, TypeScript, Node.JS or similar (Angular/Vue)
Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment
Experience ideally across mobile and web applications with regular releases
Knowledge of cloud technologies (we use AWS) would be an advantage but not essential

A sense of achievement - Our teams own their own software and when that awesome new feature ships to users and the positive feedback starts rolling in, you can feel really proud of what you and your team created
