The role…

At Paddy Power Betfair, we’re building the most advanced betting platform in the world. Our developers work on some of the biggest technical challenges in the gambling and financial industries. They are responsible for the software that handles more than 5 billion requests per day and manages hundreds of millions of pounds of our customer’s money – and the demand on our services is increasing day-by-day.

We believe that diversity of experience and background can help us achieve our company goals and provide a better work environment for our employees as well as a better product for our customers. If you have the desire to shape our culture and influence the technical direction of our business, we would recommend that you apply.

Our Initiatives

What you’ll be doing…

  • Design and develop highly available, resilient, and distributed backend services in Java in an agile environment
  • Measure the performance and availability of our tech stack – using this data to track inefficiencies and improve our software continuously
  • Understand our customers’ behaviours and use cases to offer them the best possible experience through the software you deliver
  • Evangelise code quality and good practices, continuous delivery, and automation
  • Collaborate closely with other developers and mentor those who are more junior than you
  • Take control of your personal growth within a supportive environment

  • Have software development experience in Java or other general-purpose programming languages (2+ years)
  • Passionate about technology and care about code quality and best practices

Flexible Working

We play many roles in our busy lives; juggling family, fitness, work, study and community interests. Sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Which got us thinking.
