Technology At Sportsbet
We are in the business of knowing what our customers want, developing the right products and delivering them to market. Getting to #1 in the App Store is no mean feat!
The Tech & Product teams constantly innovate and develop 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!
Across Tech you’ll meet people who are super passionate about using the latest in mobile tech and understanding customer drivers, to build exciting products that significantly impact how they engage with us.
Our teams are agile, curious, analytical, creative, and driven.
They love a good hackathon challenge, have a lot of fun (lip synch battle anyone?) and a penchant for devouring crazy wings!

Leigh-Anne Sharland
Technical Product Owner - Data Platforms
Over the two decades I have been with Sportsbet and its subsidiary companies, I have had amazing opportunities to explore different technologies and delivery approaches. My favorite projects are those that empower others to do their work with finesse & ease. Implementing Data warehouse solutions, Data marts and Self-Service Reporting applications like Qlikview & PowerBI, are both challenging and uplifting, as these kinds of projects impact the quality of many peoples’ output and experience.
