We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, Erlang (being replaced with C++) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

    * Front-end Software Engineer - React (London, LA)
    * Senior Front-end Software Engineer - React (London, LA)
    * Senior Security Engineer (London)
    * Senior Infrastructure Engineer (London)
    * Mobile Developer - React Native (London)
    * Senior Mobile Developer (LA)
    * Senior Backend Engineer, Erlang/C++/Python (London)
    * Software Engineer (London, LA)

Why would you need a manager to tell you what to do, when you and your team are the best qualified to make those decisions? At Smarkets we use a self-management structure where trust is the driving force. We believe that people are more motivated when given the freedom to work on what they like as part of a driven neural network.
