Forge Sports is a quietly operating, product focused company building a new generation of B2B sports-trading and exchange technology. The company is still in stealth mode with very few external dependencies. We are a small, highly technical founding group with significant industry experience. The team is moving fast and building a brand new product from scratch.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team as one of our first engineers, working alongside the CTO and founding engineer on developing our exchange platform. As one of the first engineers, you will report directly to the founding engineer and contribute to defining the wider engineering culture. This role suits someone who loves to take a high degree of ownership in their work and cares deeply about building highly-performant, well-designed systems. We are looking for someone who will be deeply involved in areas beyond programming; working on and with our build system, infrastructure and managing production systems. With a high degree of ownership comes shared responsibility for production; you'll participate in our on‑call rotation alongside the rest of the engineering team. This is the role for an engineer who wants to build systems end‑to‑end and see them through to production.
We use Golang extensively across all services, you don't need to be fluent in Golang, but must be eager to learn.
We are a hybrid working company, working Thursdays in our London (Farringdon) office and flexible the rest of the week. Our typical working hours are 10 am to 6 pm UK time (Monday to Friday) but we support flexible working and trust our team to manage their own schedules to meet their goals.
You are a great fit if
