Junior Software Engineer

Who we are:
We’re on a mission of “Helping sports fans enjoy watching their favourite sports”.

Kero focuses on building proprietary algorithms that ingest real time play by play sports data and output curated in-game micro betting markets every 30 seconds that deliver an instant gratification betting experience. Our thesis is that sportsbetting products of the future will need to incorporate the same ingredients that make today's mass consumer technology popular. They are: instant gratification, social, and most importantly "mindless consumption". We built this solution and whitelabel it to operators as a next-gen sportsbetting product, allowing them to expand their TAM to casual fans and engage/retain/monetize existing users with a differentiated offering which mirrors slots more than it does traditional sports betting. How we productized over the last two and a half years was by working with pro sports teams across every major US league and NCAA, deploying the technology as a free to play module within their apps.

Simply put, Kero Sports is the ideal place to work if you are a talented professional who loves sports and is hungry for growth.
