At Happening, we work with technology that handles serious scale on par with the Googles, Netflixes, and Amazons of the world.
Driven by user needs, we are changing the whole experience of a particular human activity.
If you ever wanted to see how software can handle billions of transactions per year - why not join us?
Complexity doesn't scare us, boredom does.
Large-scale distributed systems are some of the most exciting and complex problems to solve in the engineering world. We're continuously improving our platform: from building multi-tenant systems supporting multiple markets, redefining our observability practices and tooling to setting up multi-VPC cloud infrastructure.
Sameen JalalVP of Platform Engineering
2.5 million web users worldwide rely on our high-quality platform.
To create an engaging environment for fans to wager on their favorite teams and events, we combine sports betting and stats. Our product is fast, reliable, and delivers the best user experience. Developing such a product poses unique challenges and requires coordination between teams. As part of our commitment to meeting user needs, we explore and implement industry trends and best practices.
Lea UdovičićFrontend Web Developer
We solve complex engineering problems similar to those that Big Tech tackles with greater freedom and impact.
Instead of being a small cog in a big machine, you get to be a bigger cog in a much smaller machine. Think of betting like e-commerce, where prices change constantly and 50% of revenue is received within 90 minutes.
The loads we're seeing are tremendously volatile and customers have a strong financial incentive to find holes in our offer - so if we're too slow to change our prices, customers WILL take advantage of this.
Ivan KlarićVP of Product Engineering
Using technologies such as Snowflake, Vertica, and Airflow, I design and implement scalable and reliable data pipelines for large and complex datasets.
My work involves analyzing and optimizing the latest betting products, which requires a deep understanding of data architecture and analysis.
Fast-paced yet rewarding, we discover new insights and make meaningful business decisions daily.
Lucija SršenData Engineer
We integrate world-class data providers into our proprietary Platform to provide the best real-time sports experience. Our interest in Tech and Product drives us to improve constantly.
With more than 350 fully functional microservices loosely connected via Kafka, we do microservice architecture on a large scale. If you're interested in designing real-time low-latency systems and building scalable microservices while tackling Gigabytes of live sports data and thousands of user requests per second, we've got you covered.
Hrvoje CrnjakEngineering Manager
Collaborating with people is stimulating but demanding. Teamwork and managing relationships are key. Collaboration requires creativity, flexibility, and the ability to handle ambiguity.
One of the main challenges encountered by the team is ensuring consistent design language within a complex and large-scale product with multiple teams working on it. By streamlining processes, communication, career growth, and teamwork, I foster a learning environment and help individuals excel.

How we make it happen
No matter our role, we:
- are curious, getting to know our customers & walking in their shoes
- put customer needs at the centre of every decision we take & everything we do
- always lead our industry in being fair to our customers
- build every product & experience around the needs of the customer
- never stop in our desire to exceed customers' expectations
We all, together:
- understand & seek what's best for our customer & the Group, not what's best for ourself or our team
- work as one team, together, break out of silos & make things happen across reporting lines
- make time for our colleagues & share information openly & proactively
- are up front & honest with each other
- have each other's backs & actively build trust in each other
We are accountable, so we:
- turn up on the pitch - to play & win - not commentating from the sidelines
- challenge common assumptions & always stretch for more
- remember our entrepreneurial roots & take decisions as if it is our own business
- are bold - taking educated, data led risk - knowing it's better to try, fail & learn than never try at all
- embrace innovation, digitisation & AI
Individually & collectively we:
- agree clear goals
- remove low-value work to focus ruthlessly on the things that matter most
- move at pace - not letting perfect be the enemy of the good
- congratulate & take inspiration from the success of others
Respecting those around us means we:
- are always fair - to our customers, colleagues & partners
- remain humble
- own & share learnings when we make mistakes
- treat others in the way we/they would wish to be treated
- embrace different perspectives & backgrounds
