Founding Engineer

About Forge

Forge Sports is a quietly operating, product focused company building a new generation of B2B sports trading and exchange technology. We’re still in stealth mode with very few external dependencies—just a small, highly technical founding group with significant industry experience. We’re looking to move fast building a brand new product from scratch. The company is fully funded and has it's first client secured.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a hands on Founding Engineer to own the initial build of our core trading platform and, as product traction grows, scale out and lead the engineering organisation that will follow.

In your first 12 months you will :

• Architect & implement low-latency, high-throughput services that underpin a modern sports betting stack (Golang will be the primary language, but you’ll shape the stack).
• Set technical direction & standards : coding guidelines, CI / CD, observability, security, IaC—everything is green-field.
• Recruit, mentor & retain a world-class team. You’ll design the hiring process, interview engineers, and establish an inclusive, high-performance culture from day one.
• Collaborate closely with the CTO and product stakeholders, translating commercial goals into an executable technical roadmap with realistic milestones.
• Stay pragmatic : roll up your sleeves to ship features, debug prod issues, and automate manual processes while the team is small.
