Company mission
To power Bally's Corporation's omnichannel efforts with an unmatched ecosystem of products across the sports betting, iGaming, free-to-play, and daily fantasy spectrum.
Role
Who you are
- We’re seeking someone who combines deep Python expertise, strong software development principles, and modern data architecture know-how, with the confidence and clarity to lead technical decisions in ambiguous or early-stage environments
- Deep experience building data services and tools in Python (not just scripts)
- Strong knowledge of Python design patterns, modular architecture, dependency injection, and packaging best practices
- Familiarity with Python based web framworks, FastAPI, or similar frameworks is a plus
- Expertise in building resilient, maintainable batch and real-time data pipelines
- Proven experience with tools like Apache Spark, Apache Beam, or Airflow
- Experience working with streaming technologies (Kafka, Pulsar, Flink, or similar)
- Experience deploying and scaling solutions in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Solid understanding of data lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake, Parquet, and partitioning strategies
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, TDD, CI/CD, and version control (Git)
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical decisions, influence design patterns, and drive engineering excellence
- Ability to prototype new solutions and evaluate trade-offs before committing to an implementation path
Desirable
- Hands-on experience with the Databricks ecosystem
- Familiarity with data governance, access controls, and lineage tooling in modern stacks (Unity Catalog, Iceberg, etc.)
- Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling for data pipelines (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Data Developer with strong leadership capabilities and the ability to drive innovation in a greenfield space
- This isn’t your typical platform maintenance role — we’re building entirely new applications and pipelines, so we need someone who can operate autonomously, challenge the status quo, and prototype and build beyond existing tools or stacks
- As part of our forward-thinking Data Engineering team, you’ll be at the forefront of developing new batch and streaming solutions that power business-critical applications
- You’ll collaborate with product owners, architects, and engineers across disciplines to shape our future-facing data capabilities — including those that don’t yet exist
- Leading the design and development of new data applications and pipelines from scratch — with minimal constraints on tools or tech stack
- Building and optimizing scalable batch and streaming data pipelines using modern data frameworks and software engineering best practices
- Creating prototypes and PoCs to validate ideas and guide product and architectural decisions
- Applying solid software engineering fundamentals (modularity, reusability, TDD, CI/CD) to data-centric problems
- Working closely with data architects, machine learning engineers, and stakeholders to design elegant and scalable data solutions
- Driving technical discussions, mentor engineers, and help shape long-term data strategy
- Taking ownership of data reliability, pipeline observability, and performance optimization
Our take
Bally’s Interactive is the digital arm of one of the world’s leading entertainment providers, Bally's Corporation, with tens of millions of players across the globe and an ecosystem of products across sports betting, iGaming, free-to-play, and daily fantasy sports spectrum.
Its brands and sites include market movers and shakers like Sportcaller, Monkey Knife Fight, Vera&John, Virgin Casino, Jackpotjoy and many more. Beyond iGaming and sports, Bally’s also operates a chain of properties in live entertainment, bars, restaurants, conference space, shops, hotels, pools and nightclubs across the United States.
In 2024, Standard General acquired Bally's for $4.6 billion. In the same year, the company sold its Asian business arm after facing struggles in Japan after the devaluation of the yen. Moving forward, Bally's Interactive will continue to focus its efforts on North America and Europe.
