About Advision Development

AdVision Development powers two leading affiliate sites in the sports betting/igaming space: OddsTrader (OT) and BookMakers Review (BMR). We are data-driven, user-focused, and driven by a shared mission to create the best content and tools for sports bettors. We move fast, play to win, and value autonomy, curiosity, and teamwork.

What We Value

• Mission Alignment: Understand and embrace our goals; seek clarity when needed.
• Execution-First Mindset: You know what inputs drive results and you act on them proactively.
• Self-Starter Energy: You're the driver of your roadmap, checking in but not waiting to be told what to do.
• Collaborative Spirit: You bring generosity and curiosity to team efforts and make those around you better.
• User Obsession: You constantly think from the user's POV and seek ways to better serve our audience.
• Problem Solving: You exhaust potential solutions before escalating, and come prepared with what you've tried.
• Candor and Clarity: Clear, respectful communication is the norm; feedback is direct, but delivered with care.
• Competitive Drive: You want to win and are motivated to beat your best.

About the Role:

As our first dedicated DevOps / Platform Engineer, you will own our cloud infrastructure. This is a greenfield role focused on building secure, reliable, and automated systems from the ground up. You will be responsible for moving our operations from a reactive to a proactive state, directly enabling our development team to deliver value faster and more safely.

What You'll Do:

• Own, manage, and optimize our cloud infrastructure on AWS.
• Design and implement an infrastructure security strategy, including vulnerability scanning and access controls.
• Establish and automate our system update and software patching processes.
• Develop a monitoring, logging, and alerting system to proactively identify and address issues.
• Lead our incident response process and conduct blameless post-mortems to drive improvements.
• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines to improve our development lifecycle.

What We're Looking For:

• Core Skills:
• • Strong, hands-on experience managing production environments in AWS (EC2, S3, EKS, VPC, IAM).
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
  • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Understanding of CI/CD principles and tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Work Style:
• • You are comfortable with high levels of ownership and autonomy.
  • You prioritize simple, robust solutions over unnecessarily complex ones.
  • You focus on building automated and preventative systems to minimize future incidents.
  • You can clearly communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to the team.

Nice to Have:

• An interest in American sports or sports betting is a plus, as it provides context for our user-focused environment.

Why Join Us?

• High Impact: Your work will directly affect the company's stability and technical capabilities.
• Autonomy: You will have the authority to define and execute our infrastructure strategy.

Greenfield Role: Build our platform from an early stage without legacy constraints.
