Our flagship Kindred Sportsbook Platform isn't just competing; it's redefining global betting. We're engineering a high-throughput, low-latency, asynchronous system that handles real-time, high-stakes events for millions of users worldwide. Picture the F1 car of betting platforms: blisteringly fast, ultra-reliable, and built for peak pressure.

With enterprise stability and scale-up agility, our team pursues bold technical and business goals across diverse markets. If pushing tech limits in a high-stakes arena excites you, this is your home.

Key Responsibilities:

• Establish, ratify and advocate principles and practices for managing key application assets within the organisation.
• Take ownership of the design and delivery of complex, performance-intensive products. Advise and support multi-disciplinary Engineering teams throughout all phases of the delivery.
• Collaborate with the broader Architecture and Engineering community to maintain conceptual integrity and sustainably evolve our solution portfolio.
• Provide technical leadership, guidance and mentorship to the Engineering community.
• Maintain documentation using industry-standard tooling — e.g., Confluence and various diagramming tools, such as Draw.io, Gliffy, Lucid, etc.
• Ensure that solutions remain compliant, covering such aspects as privacy (GDPR), financial (AML/CTF) and wagering regulation.

Essential Skills & Required Experience

• Demonstrable experience in the design and delivery of complex, distributed systems. This includes microservices and event-driven architectures.
• Experience in data modelling for a variety of persistence paradigms (relational, K-V, graph, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with the following technologies: Postgres, Apache Kafka, Kubernetes.
• An engineering background with demonstrable/verifiable expertise in one or more contemporary programming languages; e.g., Java, .NET, Python, JS/TypeScript, Go, Rust, etc.
• Ability to actively liaise with business and technical stakeholders across the business.
• People focus, as this is very much a team sport.

NOTE: This is a hands-on role with a particular focus on architecture and design, requiring close collaboration with several highly experienced engineering teams. You'll be responsible for setting architectural direction and advising seasoned practitioners. As such, we are not looking for "enterprise" architects at this stage.
