Technology At Sportsbet

Getting to #1 in the App Store is no mean feat! We’re in the business of knowing what our customers want, developing the right products for them and delivering them to market. None of this could be possible without our Tech & Product teams.

The Tech & Product teams are constantly innovating and developing ways to make our products faster, more reliable, and more attractive to our customers at the front end, whilst ensuring that everything is kept running smoothly in the background.

Imagine dealing with 25k hits per second and knowing your app can stand up to the rigour?!

If you’re exploring a career in tech, you’ll meet people who are super passionate about the latest in mobile tech, who understand customers' drivers and use that information to build exciting products that significantly impact how customers engage with us.

Our Tech & Product teams are agile, curious, analytical, creative and driven.

They love a good hackathon challenge, have a lot of fun (lip sync battle anyone?) and a penchant for diversity of thought.

We are proud to support employee groups, such as Women in Tech, who meet regularly for career development opportunities and giving back to the tech community.

Get to know the technology team

The people at Sportsbet are a talented, curious, fun and passionate group. We always say we want our employees to enjoy themselves at work, and while keeping things light–hearted and celebrating milestones and moments that matter is part of that, it’s just as important that everyone feels valued for their contributions – which we make sure of. Our tech team is a great example of the friendly, hard–working company spirit we’re proud of. We wanted to hear more about what’s so good about daily life at Sportsbet straight from the horse’s mouths (so to speak), so we asked some of our techies to share their thoughts. Here’s what they had to say!

Mary Lynott
Project Manager - Technology

At Sportsbet, we are working continuously to drive more gender parity and remove as many barriers that prevent women from rising to the top.

For me, working at a company that not only supports but empowers women in the workplace is particularly important, and it is one of the reasons why I love being part of the Sportsbet team.

Alex McArthur
Lead Engineer

I love that what I’m doing at Sportbet is bringing excitement to life for customers, not only by ensuring their every interaction with us is fast and seamless, but also by enabling a unique tailored experience for everyone.
