About you:

You like to code. You code for work or school and you code in your spare time.

You have an amazing ability to mash different technologies together

You believe in the best tool for the customer and the situation: you are comfortable working in a mixed tech environment, Windows Server, Linux, iOS, Android, cloud, on-premise, Java, C#, Ruby, etc

All modesty aside, you are a pretty awesome coder in some kind of common language or framework

You work smarter AND harder and you have a passion for learning and improvement

You like tidy code. You understand the value of style and find commenting to be satisfying. It makes you angry when control and view logic mingle

You are test-driven and you like to have a nice thick quilt of unit tests in order to sleep at night

You use tools and frameworks. You write your own tools when necessary and your first instinct is to check and see how other people have already solved this problem.

You like clarity; you are honest, realistic and you don’t mind pointing out the elephant in the room.

You like people, you like working with people, and people like working with you.

Smarkets is a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £600 million of bets since launching in 2010. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.

We are taking on the big players in the betting industry with the lean startup playbook. We think the commission charged by such players is too high, spelling for opportunity to do better.

We're building 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. Whether you want to work on the trading exchange or the frontend, you'll be solving real and challenging problems - from scaling to optimising python to handling near real-time design constraints.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around version control, configuration management and automated testing. We can, and do, deploy to production several times a day.

Our software stack is built around Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Git and Chef - but we are not resistant to change as needed.
