Original posting

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK) We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, who recently moved to a new office in St. Katharine Docks. Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority. The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day. We are looking for: * Infrastructure Engineers (think midway between SRE and devops; security background is a bonus) * Software Engineers * Web Engineers * Quantitative Analysts * Data Scientists If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/about/jobs/ . (A while back I wrote an overview about our engineering challenges, which you can find at https://smarketshq.com/the-challenges-of-running-a-betting-e... .) P.S. We trust our employees to be responsible in all things. In that vein, you also get to set your own salary.
