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, C++ (replacing still present Erlang[ß]) and Javascript for React & React-Native, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and increasingly Kubernetes. 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 all across the board: frontend, infrastructure, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers .

ß: to pre-empt questions on why C++ or why not Erlang - our exchange team have promised to put together a proper write-up on the tradeoffs, design constraints, performance needs, etc. In fullness of time, that is, when the most painful (and probably interesting) migrations are behind them.

Who are we?

Menlo School was founded in 1915 and is one of the top independent schools in the country. We enroll just under 800 students in grades 6-12 and strive to offer them a safe environment where learning is engaging and fun.

Who are we looking for?

We're currently searching for a Senior Web Engineer who will maintain and continue to build out our homegrown information systems that improve the lives of students, teachers, parents, and alumni. This is an ideal role for a creative web generalist who loves autonomy, cares deeply about the user experience, and is comfortable working on the frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, React) as well as the backend (object oriented PHP, MySQL, REST APIs). There's no teaching required for this position and Menlo invests heavily in your professional growth.

What's in it for you?

Your own private office (with a door for when you'd like to focus), flexibility on gear and software that makes you productive, competitive salary, generous retirement contributions (9% of salary + 3% match), generous time off and flexible work hours, free lunch while school is in session, a comprehensive benefits package, an on-campus child care center, fulfilling projects that have an immediate impact, opportunities for professional growth, no whiteboard coding, and much more.
