Together, we focus on odds compiling, risk management, product development, and delivering an unbeatable customer experience.

In this role, you’ll get to create engaging and precise sportsbook content for our B2C and B2B platforms, including setting odds, updating results, and managing event data. You’ll collaborate with an energetic, supportive team and use our in-house tools to make everything run smoothly.

• Fluency in verbal and written English is a must, as it’s our primary means of communication.
