Midnite is a next-generation betting platform that is built for today’s fandom. We are a collective of engineers and designers who all share a passion for building the best sportsbook & casino experience possible, allowing our fans to feel closer to the games they love through the rush of winning money.

Unlike the alternatives, Midnite doesn't feel like a website built two decades ago. Instead, it's a cutting-edge creation, designed and constructed from the ground up with the latest technologies. Crafting an experience that's truly intuitive, immersive, and immediately understandable is no walk in the park, but we thrive on the challenge. We believe we're on the brink of creating something truly awesome.

We're searching for a skilled senior backend engineer to play a pivotal role in shaping Midnite's technological foundation. You’ll be responsible for constructing APIs for our mobile and web applications, producing robust and maintainable code within specified timelines.

Technical

Our tech stack is primarily implemented in Python and hosted on AWS, incorporating technologies such as Flask, Pytest, Mypy, Docker, PostgreSQL, SQS, S3 and Terraform, and we deploy daily.

Collaboration & Leadership

You'll closely collaborate with a team of product, design, front-end development, and trading experts, thriving in a small team environment to ensure that software products align seamlessly with customer requirements. Additionally, you'll provide mentorship to junior engineers, playing an active role in fostering the growth and development of the engineering team.
