๐ผ Careers at Betloy
Build sport tech for African and global bettors
Betloy is a small, focused team in Nigeria building the conversion utilities, odds tools and B2B infrastructure that experienced punters across Africa already use every day. We hire opportunistically when we find the right person.
Betloy is part of African Sporting Technology (AST) โ a Nigerian sport-tech group building products, content and infrastructure for the continent's sports audience. Within AST, Betloy is the product/platform play: odds comparison, bet code conversion, the embeddable widget and the REST API that lets other sites ship our tooling under their own brand.
We work in a small, async-friendly team. Most of the engineering, editorial and ops sit in Nigeria. Roles are typically remote-first with optional Lagos hub days for those who want them. We don't have a customer-support BPO; every customer-facing email is answered by someone on the team. We don't have a sales gauntlet; the people doing the work make the decisions.
What we look for
Five things that come up in every hiring conversation.
Output beats rรฉsumรฉ
We care more about what you've shipped than where you went to school or how many years are on the CV. Be ready to show real work.
Comfortable with ambiguity
Small teams in fast-moving markets means decisions get made with incomplete information. We need people who can pick a direction, ship, and adjust.
African market understanding
Knowing how punters actually use bookmakers in Lagos, Nairobi or Accra โ what payment rails matter, what app weight is acceptable on 3G โ is a real edge.
Clean writing
Every role at Betloy involves writing โ code reviews, support emails, partnership pitches, internal docs. Clarity in writing is a hard requirement.
Responsible by default
We work in sports betting. We're 18+ throughout and we don't push punters to bet more. Anyone joining the team needs to be aligned with that ethic.
Open roles
We hire opportunistically. If a role isn't listed but you think you'd be a strong fit, send a CV anyway โ see "Speculative applications" below.
Speculative applications
No role that fits, but think you'd add value?
We hire opportunistically. If you're an engineer with experience scaling on African networks, an editorial writer with a deep sports-betting background, a partnerships lead with operator relationships, or a designer who's shipped consumer-facing African products โ send us a CV and a short note about what you'd do here.
Email: HR@betloy.com
What to include: CV, links to two or three things you've shipped (code, articles, products, campaigns), and one paragraph on why Betloy specifically.
Process
How we interview
Three rounds, no whiteboard nonsense.
- Initial conversation (30 min, video). The hiring manager walks you through what the role actually looks like and asks about the work you've shipped. You ask whatever you want about Betloy.
- Practical exercise (asynchronous, ~2 hours of your time). A real-world task scoped to the role โ for engineering, a small code task; for editorial, a writing brief; for ops, a vendor-evaluation exercise. We pay you for your time on this round if you'd like to be paid; many candidates skip the payment.
- Team conversation (60 min, video). Meet two or three people you'd work with. We discuss your exercise output, run through expectations, and answer the rest of your questions.
Decision within five working days of the final round. We give honest, specific feedback to every candidate who reaches the practical-exercise stage, whether or not we make an offer.
