Job Description

Lead Engineer / CTO – Up to £190k

We’re building the next- sports betting & prediction markets platform—where users can bet, trade event contracts, or even become the House. Leveraging blockchain (Solana app-chain), secure oracles, and modern backend tech, we’re scaling fast while preparing for CFTC regulation.

The Role

As Lead Engineer / CTO, you’ll be the hands-on technical leader driving innovation, architecture, and compliance. You’ll oversee development, mentor engineers, and solve complex problems at the intersection of blockchain, fintech, and regulated betting. This is a rare opportunity to build cutting-edge tech while shaping strategy.

What You’ll Do

Lead architecture and innovation: smart contracts, hybrid on/off-chain systems, scalable infrastructure. Ensure regulatory compliance: CFTC-aligned systems, KYC/AML, secure settlements, audit trails. Manage and mentor developers; foster a collaborative, high-performing team. Roll up your sleeves to debug, optimize, and prototype solutions. Define and execute the tech roadmap across infrastructure, APIs, and integrations.

You Should Have

8+ years in software engineering, 2+ in leadership (Lead Engineer / CTO). Hands-on experience in regulated environments (fintech, trading, or gambling). Backend expertise (Rust ), relational databases, API design, blockchain integration. Familiarity with smart contracts, oracles, bridges, and authentication/security protocols. Strong problem-solving, mentoring, and cross-team collaboration skills.

Nice to Have

Experience in prediction markets, sports betting, or real-time fintech apps. Prior work with distributed teams or open-source/crypto IP contributions.
