**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**
We are seeking a highly skilled mid-level Python Developer with 3 to 4 years of experience in Python development. The ideal candidate will have experience creating public APIs for third-party integrations, as well as working with Amazon Managed Services (AMS). The candidate should be a self-starter who is capable of working independently as well as in a team environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and maintaining our company's Python applications.
**ABOUT THE COMPANY**
We are building a home for friend-to-friend betting. We will make betting a more social and healthier experience by building a platform that lets groups of mates, societies, and sports clubs play prediction games, sweepstakes, and drafts against each other.
Millions of sports fans enjoy making predictions and placing bets against each other during sports events (of the 13.6 million bettors in the UK, 45% also have 'offline' bets against their mates), however often these bets or games are very manual in the way through spreadsheets and cash manually exchanged, often leaving a lot of admin and games dying out.
We are building a platform that lets you:
• Create your own prediction game across multiple sports.
• Manages all the admin of running the game for you so you can concentrate on enjoying the
sport.
• Support your sports club or good cause by donating a % of the prize pot from your league.
Ultimately, we believe we are a challenger to traditional betting companies as players will get more of a buzz from beating their mates and have more social interaction about sporting events, however, this will be in a controlled manner they are held accountable by their mates and can't chase losses against a faceless bookmakers app.
