Project description
Our ambition is to be world leading in fantasy sports and pool betting — join our journey!

Our products are primarily targeted at large international partners and customers. The fantasy sports-and pooled betting market is a rapidly growing market in Europe.

How fantasy games work: In fantasy sports, you are a manager for a team. Each player creates their own Fantasy team by “buying” real players (from any sport) and receives points according to how well the real players perform in the real matches/events.

Our products are already being used by millions of users, and Scout Gaming Group’s immodest ambition is to create the world`s best fantasy-and pooled betting solutions.

As a SysOps in Scout, you will be a big part of our journey towards this target.

Scout Gaming Group`s biggest advantage is modern and solid technology. We have for example chosen to not support old browsers for the benefit of increased possibilities and higher user-friendliness. Our backend platform is built up as a modern web API for web and app clients, delivery from the backend to end-user works as a pure API-delivery, free of legacy and old-fashioned technology.

For the SysOps team, this means we outsource what we believe others do better than us, for example, Kubernetes. But in other areas, we build and maintain the whole stack, for example, our PostgreSQL clusters.
