Job Description
About us
At Sportsbet, we’re united behind our purpose to “Bring Excitement to Life” for our 2 million customers (and growing!). We do this by over-delivering through our commitment to fun, challenging the status quo and living our values. As part of the Flutter Group, we’re a global player, but in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin we’re a tight knit group of 1,300 teammates (of which over half are in our Tech and Data Science teams!). We are a significant contributor to the Australian economy through racing and sporting codes and we are committed to having a positive impact in society by supporting our customers, our communities and our employees. Our commitment to responsible gambling is demonstrated through our wide range of responsible gambling initiatives and tools.
In 2026, we were a recipient of LinkedIn’s Top 25 Companies for our focus on career development and acknowledged as one of the Top 10 Workplaces for Women through Work180. Our commitment to making Sportsbet the best place to work is never-ending.
We’re an inclusive employer who welcomes you for who you are, as you are – so, if you require adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know in your application. We also know flex means different things to different people, so let us know how we can support you to be your best.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with a strategic mindset. This role goes beyond code delivery — you will be a key contributor to technical design, platform health, process improvements, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll help shape the future of the platform while mentoring others and identifying impactful opportunities that align with company strategy.
About You
As an experienced Software Engineer you will have previous experience and Senior level ability to:
Set and uphold high standards of code quality across the team.
Handle complex programming tasks and deliver well-tested, maintainable solutions.
Identify areas for improvement within the platform (e.g., technical debt, refactoring opportunities) and take action to implement or prioritize changes.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of both technical problems and effective, scalable solutions.
Lead and contribute to solution design discussions.
What we’re looking for
Proven experience in a senior or lead software engineering role.
Strong proficiency in Java 17/21, Spring boot, docker, Cloud formation and key AWS services such as Lambda/S3/ECS.
Experience in Streaming solutions such as pub/sub model.
Track record of leading design discussions and delivering complex software solutions.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and drive initiatives to completion.
Strong collaboration skills and experience working with diverse stakeholders.
Solid understanding of system performance, platform reliability, and software lifecycle metrics
The Perks
We work hard and play hard, so along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus, we will also provide you with:
25 days annual leave (a whole extra week of holidays!)
Genuine flexible working and remote working policy with a $1050 work from home office allowance
Development budget to send you to conferences, events, courses and other learning opportunities.
Weekly concierge service including free massages, manicure/nail appointments – all onsite!
Daily fresh fruit, free breakfast, sparkling water and Kombucha on tap in the office (did we mention we have a Thursday afternoon social hour?)
Tailored career development programs with a yearly tools down day to focus on goals
End of trip facilities with an onsite table tennis and pool table
Access to our employee assistance program and a Circle In membership
We’re proud of our industry leading Parental Leave support program with 26 weeks paid leave for Primary Carers with no waiting time and two weeks of paid leave for Secondary Carers followed by six weeks unpaid leave. We also have a progressive return to work benefits for your first six months back: come back for three days, get paid for four; come back for four days, get paid for five.
