Junior Mathematician Product Manager (NextGen Sportsbook)

Our success story is not something that happened by chance. A combination of global products, great, passionate people, and specific culture played a key role in our growth. Our core business is creating products for the entertainment industry, and we have a lot of fun in the process, but the well-being of our colleagues and the success of our partners is the number 1 goal for us.
