At Xanadu, we provide services to the online sports betting industry. We currently have an opportunity within our Legal and Compliance team for the right candidate to take responsibility for the development and implementation of all things GDPR.  

Matchbook has more in common with the New York Stock Exchange than with a bookmaker. It operates at scale. Its API processes over 500 million API requests per day and it manages billions of dollars’ worth of transactions. To put some of this in perspective, 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.
