Job description
BlueLabs is a dynamic and fast-growing startup in the sports betting industry. We are committed to delivering innovative and cutting-edge solutions to our customers, providing an unparalleled betting experience. As we continue to expand to new markets and evolve our product, we are looking for a highly skilled and passionate Staff Engineer to join our team.
Our Technology Stack
Our technology stack includes over 30 microservices written in Go, providing a highly efficient and scalable foundation for our operations. We leverage Apache Pulsar for event-driven messaging, Kubernetes for container orchestration, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for cloud infrastructure, and PostgreSQL for data storage.
Our release process is fully automated, enabling our small engineering team to perform several deployments per day without breaking a sweat. A typical deployment takes only a few seconds to complete. This automation spans from the provisioning of infrastructure, to the deployment of applications and the configuration of monitoring dashboards and alerts. The tools we use include, but are not not limited to: Terraform, Helmfile and GitHub Actions.
Grafana, Loki and Mimir are our weapons of choice when it comes to monitoring the performance and behavior of our platform, enabling us to automatically detect and escalate any potential issues to the affected teams.
As a technology company, we are dedicated to maintaining a modern and agile technology environment that empowers our engineers to thrive and build the future of sports betting technology.

Collaboration: Work closely with other engineering teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to deliver high-quality products.
Technology Evaluation: Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and evaluate their applicability to our systems.
Compensation
The compensation range for this role is €90,000 - €115,000 annually, depending on your skills, experience and form of employment (employment or independent contractor). Additional perks include a new 16" MacBook Pro or Linux laptop, and 40 days of paid annual leave (including public holidays).
