About the Role:

As our first dedicated DevOps / Platform Engineer, you will own our cloud infrastructure. This is a greenfield role focused on building secure, reliable, and automated systems from the ground up.

  • Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
  • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Understanding of CI/CD principles and tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

• Work Style:

• • You are comfortable with high levels of ownership and autonomy.
  • You prioritize simple, robust solutions over unnecessarily complex ones.
  • You focus on building automated and preventative systems to minimize future incidents.
  • You can clearly communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to the team.

Nice to Have:

• An interest in American sports or sports betting is a plus, as it provides context for our user-focused environment.

Why Join Us?

• High Impact: Your work will directly affect the company's stability and technical capabilities.
• Autonomy: You will have the authority to define and execute our infrastructure strategy.

Greenfield Role: Build our platform from an early stage without legacy constraints.
