Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Senior Software Engineer will architect and implement features for the trading platform, ensuring high performance, stability, and low latency. They will also own technical standards, CI/CD processes, and integrate global odds data from various bookmakers and exchanges.
Candidates must have deep experience building mission-critical distributed systems and a proven track record in a systems language like Go, C++, or Rust. A bachelor's or master's degree in a quantitative or technical subject is required, along with strong communication skills.
At Longshot Systems we build advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team that owns and develops our trading platform. Longshot is a small, focused company and so the role suits someone who can architect and implement whatever is needed to meet our next product, performance or stability goal. The team owns the technical standards and coding guidelines, CI/CD, observability and security. This role suits someone who wants to ship features and contribute to the wider technical excellence in the team and platform.
The trading platform at Longshot handles integrations with many bookmakers and exchanges worldwide. It normalises and combines the global odds data for many sports and makes it available internally for strategies to trade on. We handle thousands of odds updates and trades per second and have very strict bounds on latency, correctness and overall quality of the feed and trading. You would be at the heart of this team: integrating more trading venues, optimising key parts of the platform, making trading safer and faster, etc. We also maintain a significant historical data repository and support wider trading and research efforts around the company.
Our key platform systems are all in Golang, with message buses and databases at the core of the architecture. You don’t need to be fluent in Golang, but it would help. It’s easy to learn and we have a team full of experts able to teach you.
We are a hybrid working company, working Thursdays in our London (Farringdon) office and flexible the rest of the week. Our typical working hours are 10 am to 6 pm UK time, Monday to Friday, but we support flexible working and trust our team to manage their own schedules to meet their goals.

Nice to have
