Key skills for this role
Focussing on our Sportsbook product, we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve our next-generation trading risk platform, powering real-time liability and exposure management across multiple brands and markets.
You’ll primarily work on our Core Liability engine — a modular, event-driven system — delivering fast, accurate, and real-time insight into live positions and risk. This platform underpins critical trading decisions and represents a major step forward in scalability, resilience, and streaming architecture across our technology estate.
Design and build distributed, real-time streaming components within a Flink-based architecture.
Develop and maintain services that process the full bet lifecycle, from acceptance through settlement, cancellation, and cashout.
Implement complex financial calculations, including multi-bet and bet-builder logic, ensuring accuracy and consistency at scale.
Build systems that aggregate exposure and generate real-time risk insights across outcomes, markets, and customers.
Contribute to a granular alerting framework that detects and publishes meaningful changes in liability.
Ensure correctness in a high-throughput environment through robust handling of ordering, duplication, and idempotency.
Optimise streaming jobs for latency, throughput, and resource efficiency.
Collaborate closely with trading and product teams to translate domain requirements into scalable, reliable systems.
Contribute to a modular architecture where components evolve independently and scale with increasing demand.
A real-time liability platform providing live visibility into exposure and risk across brands and jurisdictions.
