Gambit Research Ltd (http://gambitresearch.com) | London, UK | ONSITE | Full time

At Gambit we research and manage automated sports betting algorithms on behalf of our clients. Their algorithms run on our proprietary execution platform which interfaces with a large variety of bookmakers and exchanges, enabling access to the best prices and massive liquidity.

Our distributed, concurrent system has a core written in Erlang, which interacts with a wide variety of Python processes across the rest of the business. Some of the other technologies we use are: Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, C, C++, Java, Haskell, Julia, Go, JavaScript, AngularJS, ReactJS, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Celery, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Graphite, Sentry, Git, GitLab.

We have a very flat hierarchy and an emphasis on employee freedom. We encourage our team to work on projects that interest them, as we believe people are happiest and most productive when intellectually stimulated. You don't need to be interested in sports or betting.

We're actively hiring for the following positions:

  - Software developer
  - Linux infrastructure engineer / Sysadmin / SRE / DevOps engineer
 
Approximate salary range: £30-80k.

For infra/systems/devops engineers, Avoid - they screen you via a Codility test and they expect you to have a 100% score for it, with a 60min time limit for two lengthy problems. Anything below 100% is not enough.

Testing infra engineers for algorithms is plain stupid, completely irrelevant and a total waste of time as it does not translate as a test for any other infra specific skill one might have (problem solving / analysis / troubleshooting / systems design / et cetera).
