About Sporty Group
What is Sporty Group?
Sporty Group is a sports-media, iGaming, fintech and technology company that builds high-scale consumer products for sports fans around the world. Its engineering teams "develop highly-scalable mobile internet backends for millions of users," and the platform serves "tens of millions of visitors every week" with an ambition to "be the best sporting platform in the world." The group's brands span betting (SportyBet), broadcasting and streaming (SportyTV and SportyNet), casino and games (Sporty Studios), and payments. SportyTV alone is "a 24/7 free sports channel available via DTT, DTH, and OTT in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya," airing "over 1,000 events yearly, with 750+ live matches," with "over 5 million downloads" on Android and iOS. In Brazil, SportyNet is "a comprehensive sports broadcasting platform... delivering over 400 live football matches per year."
Where will I work?
Sporty Group is, in its own words, "a remote first company in pursuit of sustainability." Roles are advertised across global, regional and country-level remote bands — Global Remote, Europe Remote, EMEA Remote, LATAM Remote, Mexico Remote and South Africa Remote — alongside hubs in cities such as São Paulo, Madrid and Cape Town. For most roles you can work from where you live within the role's eligible region, collaborating with distributed, cross-functional teams.
What is the Sporty Group team like?
Sporty Group runs lean and fast. Teams favour "a flat organizational structure to engage with all levels of employees and collaborate with various company functions," and engineers work on "the core logic of complex systems that are accessed millions of times a day" using a modern, built-from-scratch stack (Java 17, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, AWS, Python, Airflow). It is a genuinely international group, with people across Europe, Africa and Latin America building product, engineering, data, design, trading, marketing, finance and operations. Notably, applications are screened by humans: "Every application is reviewed by a member of our team (AI is not used in our recruitment process), and we aim to respond within 48 hours."
Work-Life Balance
Sporty Group operates a flexible-hours model built around a short shared overlap. Its core hours are "10am-3pm in your local time zone with flexibility outside of this," so you can structure the rest of your day around your own rhythm and time zone. Most roles come with "28 days paid annual leave" (some list 30), and the remote-first setup removes the commute entirely.
Perks and Benefits
Compensation pairs "a competitive salary" with "individual performance based bonuses every quarter," plus "referral bonuses & flash bonuses." Everyone gets "top of the line equipment" to work remotely, and the company runs "annual company retreats to provide great internal networking opportunities" so distributed teams can connect in person. With "28 days paid annual leave," flexible core hours, and a fully remote-first setup, the package is built around autonomy.
