Join Betr as a Senior Frontend Engineer to develop mobile applications using React Native and TypeScript, focusing on sportsbooks and gaming products, while optimizing performance and handling real-time data.
About Betr
Founded in 2022 by Joey Levy and Jake Paul, Betr is building the world's first real money gaming super app. The company's first product, Betr Picks, launched in September 2023 and quickly grew to several hundreds of thousands of paying users that have already won $250M on the platform. Betr recently launched Betr Arcade with plans on launching additional new nationwide gaming products within its single app experience in 2025 to further differentiate its product offering. In addition to its single-app experience, Betr's gaming products are differentiated through a unique, simplified user interface that is catered to the casual sports fan and gamer, enabling Betr to capture more of the under-penetrated online gaming addressable market.
Betr's media division, Betr Media, is one of the fastest growing sports gaming media brands in the U.S. and helps support the company's user acquisition and retention efforts.
Betr is backed by Fuel Venture Capital, Aliya Capital Partners, IA Sports Ventures, FinSight Ventures, Florida Funders, Harmony Partners, 8vc, and other top-tier investors.

- Build and maintain WebSocket subscriptions for live odds, match updates, and user notifications
- Implement state synchronization between real-time streams and local stores
- Handle deep linking from push notifications, attribution links, and web referrals
- Integrate payment flows: in-app purchases, bank transfers, card entry with verification
- Debug and fix platform-specific issues across iOS, Android, and web
- Optimize performance: animation frame rates, render efficiency, memory management
- Write worklet functions for animation-thread execution
- Maintain E2E automation tests and contribute to CI/CD pipelines

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
