Location: Remote (available 9am-2pm EST, Monday to Friday)
Posting type: Full-time Contractor
Compensation: Highly competitive local contractor rate, equivalent to a monthly retainer of ~$7,300 – $8,500 USD (Gross). We pay for senior expertise and adjust based on local market standards.
Use of AI: We do not use AI in the screening and interviewing process. A member of our team reads your resume and meets with you.
The Reality of This Role
Most Systems Engineer roles are about keeping the lights on. At WagerTech, you are the one building the grid while the city is already running at full speed. Today, our data chain works, but it’s held together by individual experts who each own a piece of the puzzle. We need one person who understands the whole picture, someone who knows exactly what breaks downstream when a change happens upstream.
You aren't here to manage a team or build front-end dashboards; you are the technical owner of the data pipeline, the integrations, and the internal toolset that makes this business move. It’s a hands-on,



senior-level builder role where success means moving from manual intervention to a system that handles in a minute what used to take a person a full day. We move fast, and we need someone who can build the infrastructure to keep up.
What Your Day Actually Looks Like
Morning: You’re diving into the codebase, Python services, or PostgreSQL schema to refine how data flows from our properties into the operational source of truth.
Lunch: You’re taking a break on your own terms, as long as you’re around for our core collaboration hours of 9 AM to 2 PM EST, you own your schedule.
Afternoon: You’re automating a high-cost manual process or building a custom Salesforce integration that declarative tools couldn't handle. You’re likely using AI assistants to speed up your workflow, but applying your own senior judgment to ensure the output is production-ready.
You won't be "managing a queue." You’re owning a system. You decide how the architecture
