Dev Ops Engineer

At Xanadu, we build systems and products for the online sports betting industry. We currently have an opening for a DevOps Engineer to join us and work on Matchbook – the world’s fastest growing betting exchange. 

Matchbook is a betting exchange platform. This uses peer-to-peer betting where customers can choose to either place a bet or take a bet. It’s suitable for all types of bettors from casual punters to professional traders. Matchbook is no ordinary website. It has more in common with the New York Stock Exchange than with a bookmaker. It operates at scale. Its API processes over 300 million API requests per day. It manages billions of dollars worth of transactions. It processes more transactions each day than Amazon.com does on Black Friday. At Matchbook you’ll work at a scale which you’ll rarely find anywhere else. The challenges here are big – really big. The people you’ll work with are hungry to tackle them. If this sounds like a challenge too good to ignore, then we want to hear from you.

As a DevOps Engineer your mission will be to ensure that our teams deliver products to the very highest level of quality and efficiency, whilst also helping to develop our CI/CD pipeline used by all engineering teams across the business. You will use Agile methodologies to continuously improve. You will work as part of a dedicated team of passionate and talented engineers to continue Matchbook’s mission to become the leading platform globally. You will play an important role in ensuring the highest levels of delivery in the next phase of features and products on the newly built exchange as part of the Matchbook Product Engineering Team.
