Project description
About us and our vision
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 pool 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 developer in Scout, you will be a big part of our journey towards this target.

Scout Gaming Group`s biggest advantage is a 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 backend to end user works as a pure API-delivery, free of legacy and old-fashioned technology.

Technology stack:
Node.js, Socket.io, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, GCP Kubernetes, Apache Kafka.

Not all technologies are used in all services, depending on your preference and experience you will work mostly with one-two domain areas. However, openness to work with various services and technologies will be considered a plus.
