Gambit Research is a unique organisation. We are a tight-knit team of research mathematicians, computer scientists and trading analysts at the top of their chosen fields. Established in 2005, we have developed a highly advanced research and trading platform that facilitates high-frequency trading on sports betting markets. 

Developers typically implement new features for our system, diagnose issues, and fix bugs. We have a number of components that are mostly written in Erlang or Python. These components interface with external APIs and websites, normalise offers from different sources, process large quantities of bet placements, and manage strategies. We also maintain graphical tools and websites that allow the trading operations team to monitor the system and we provide interfaces for clients to place bets directly. It is common for developers to move between projects according to both the changing requirements of the company and their own interests.

Gambit developers start writing production code in their first week with the company and take on responsibilities fast. There are opportunities to be involved with the recruitment process and other business operations for developers who have an interest in those activities.
