Why Midnite?

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.

You’ll work across the full data lifecycle from ingestion and modelling to orchestration, monitoring, and analytics enablement, while also mentoring engineers and shaping engineering best practices. As a lead, you’ll partner with our leadership team to make sure our data function not only delivers but also drives strategic decision-making.
