Junior Sports Trader ( London office based )

Overview

With offices in London, Las Vegas, and Uppsala (Sweden), and many remote workers around the world, Metric is building a team of talented and driven colleagues with industry heavyweights at the helm.

Since late 2021, Metric has significantly reinvented itself. It is working on a ground-breaking second version of its tech stack that will revolutionise the industry. A product that fits the increasingly diverse, legislative environment that the sports betting industry faces. This moves our clients away from the one-size-fits-all products that prevail in the market and presents a multi-tenant, highly flexible offering that the client can shape to their needs.

To support this, we have a new C-Level team and a clear strategy. Staff numbers are set to double between late 2022 and the end of 2023. This is backed by new funding as investors see the fantastic potential and clear direction of the business.

We are striving to be a meritocratic and transparent business where excellent talent can see their careers thrive.

Founded by World Poker Tour champion Martin de Knijff and run by former Executives of some of the most established operators in the industry, Metric is a B2B company that prides itself on thinking B2C. Having developed into one of the industry's most compelling and dynamic independent sports betting suppliers, the Company’s mission is to develop into the leading mainstream sports betting provider with a reputation for building high-quality, bespoke, and innovative products. 

In this exciting mission, Metric is expanding its QA team and wants you, if you are a talented QA leader with provable experience who thrives in a dynamic environment.
