Focusing on our Sportsbook product, we’re looking for a Data Engineer to help build and evolve our next-generation data platform, powering trusted, scalable, and near real-time data assets across multiple brands and markets.

You’ll work on our Sportsbook Data Platform — a modern, event-driven lakehouse built on AWS and aligned to medallion architecture principles — contributing to the development of high-quality, well-governed data assets that support analytics, trading insight, and machine learning use cases. This platform underpins critical decision-making across trading, risk, personalisation, and analytics, and plays a key role in scaling and standardising our data ecosystem. 

 

 

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain batch and streaming data pipelines, supporting ingestion, transformation, and serving layers.
  • Develop and enhance data assets aligned to medallion architecture (bronze, silver, gold), ensuring quality and usability.
  • Transform sportsbook domain data (bets, offers, rewards, digital data) into well-structured datasets for downstream consumption.
  • Implement data transformation logic using modern tooling (e.g. dbt, Spark, SQL-based frameworks) with a focus on clarity and reliability.
  • Contribute to streaming data pipelines (Kafka/Flink or equivalent) to support near real-time data use cases.
  • Apply data quality checks and validation to ensure accuracy and consistency of data assets.
  • Support the implementation of data contracts and schemas for reliable integration between systems.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot pipelines to ensure performance, reliability, and cost efficiency on AWS.
  • Collaborate with analytics, data science, and machine learning teams to deliver data solutions aligned to business needs.
  • Contribute to data governance practices, including documentation, metadata, and dataset discoverability.

What You’ll Work On

  • A modern sportsbook data platform built on AWS, supporting both real-time and batch data processing.
  • Medallion-aligned data layers transforming raw data into curated, business-ready datasets.
  • Data pipelines processing sportsbook events such as bets, pricing, and settlements.
  • Data assets supporting trading analytics, risk monitoring, and customer personalisation.
  • Integration with BI tools, semantic layers, and machine learning platforms.
  • Data governance and metadata tooling to improve transparency and trust in data.

Your Experience

  • 2–4 years experience in data engineering or a related field.
  • Strong SQL skills and a good understanding of data modelling principles.
  • Experience with data transformation tools (e.g. dbt, Spark) and workflow orchestration (e.g. Airflow or similar).
  • Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms, ideally AWS.
  • Understanding of data pipeline design and ETL/ELT patterns.
  • Exposure to streaming technologies (Kafka, Flink, or similar) is beneficial.
  • Awareness of data quality, testing, and monitoring practices.
  • Ability to work with stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver data solutions.
  • Willingness to learn and grow in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to sports betting, trading, or financial data domains.
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures.
  • Experience with semantic layers or BI tooling.
  • Exposure to data governance or metadata tooling.
  • Interest in supporting machine learning or analytics workflows.

Why This Role Matters

This role contributes to building the trusted data foundation that powers analytics, trading insight, and machine learning across sportsbook. By delivering reliable and well-structured data assets, you’ll help enable better decision-making and support the continued evolution of our scalable, modern data platform.
