Your team

The Sports Super Tribe is comprised of 5 self-sufficient tribes, encompassing over 60 squads of Engineers, QA, and associated roles across Porto, Dublin and Leeds. Together, we are dedicated to delivering fast, distinctive, dynamic, and trusted sports betting experiences, each tribe driven by a clear vision to develop best-in-class customer experiences.

As part of this role, you’ll be working in the Pricing tribe with the goal to redefine the Soccer Trading experience.

You will be responsible for Core Soccer Capabilities, creating, extending, evolving, innovating, supporting and owning them. You will be asked to get involved in E2E experiences, outside of this capability as well as assisting other teams to maximise what they can create. This is fantastic opportunity to work with GBP and colleagues in multiple brands within an inner sourcing model.

These are 24/7/365 systems with almost 40k teams, 500k players and millions of messages transacted at peak Soccer times. This is a demanding and rewarding role for a developer focused on performant back-end systems.

It is an exciting time to be part of Soccer with the World Cup in 2026 a major event for Flutter as well as the excitement that comes with Start of Season and End of Season events. Soccer is part of the UKI 2025 goals and is closely tied to company performance.

What you’ll do

As a back-end Software Engineer, you’re part of an agile Software Development Team, responsible for the full lifecycle of an application using cutting-edge technologies to deliver amazing value to our customers, while scaling our platform to meet the demands of worldwide markets.

From developing flowcharts, layouts, and documentation to supporting the Product Owner with requirements and the team with solutions, developing unit, component, and integrated tests with the guidance of the team's QA - you can expect to execute the full software development lifecycle.

Programming well-designed, testable, efficient code to solve business needs and deploy applications in a Continuous Integration platform, as well as testing and documenting the implemented solutions will be a big part of your day-to-day.

Experienced working with a high concurrency/high transactional/highly available platform.
Expertise using established design patterns and encouraging appropriate use of reusability techniques (e.g. library extraction, new component creation).
Experience developing in C# is key, but knowledge of Javascript, Python, and MySql is advantageous.

Test framework maintenance and contribution towards automated test stability is important, escalating to management where work is required to maintain an acceptable standard of quality for the squad(s).
Proficiency in support / helpdesk tickets and supporting operational requirements, upskilling other engineers as required.

As a Software Engineer, it's not just about the technical knowledge. We value (a lot) a strong set of soft skills - being a team player and promoting a healthy environment within your team is just as important. This means that we'll be expecting a strong set of soft skills as well - excellent communication, common sense, and a passion for the art of problem-solving.
