Five reasons to work at Rivalry

Because corporate theater and red tape suck.

Because corporate theater and red tape suck.

TORONTO, Ontario – A portion of today’s workforce is often looking for more than just unlimited PTO, monthly hobby stipends, and competitive salaries (we offer those btw 💅)

Talented and skilled workers want purpose and fulfillment in their day-to-day work, and that’s exactly the environment we’ve created at Rivalry. 

We put together a list of five reasons that help us create a special culture at Rivalry and why you (yes, you) might consider joining our team. 

#1 No corporate theater: Let’s be honest – we all hate this. 

Bureaucracy is the enemy of innovation (and oftentimes happiness). 

We operate at an extremely high tempo and iterate as we go. We don’t waste time with role-playing exercises and corporate pleasantries.

Leave your ego at the door and let’s build cool shit together.

#2 High agency: We hire the best talent so we can learn from them, not tell them how to do their jobs.

At Rivalry, there’s little-to-no red tape, and everything we do is rooted in innovation. 

Employees are given targets but never maps – how they arrive there is entirely up to them and the unique skill set they bring to the table.

That means getting creative, exploring unconventional approaches, and embracing individuality to solve complex problems.

#3 High performance culture without the burnout: Everyone is held to the highest standard of work and execution – not because there’s an overwhelming amount of pressure on your shoulders, but because you’re surrounded by other world-class talent that wants to deliver the best work of their lives.

We prioritize a deep work culture which values focused efforts to get your work done and go about your lives versus bogging our team down with meaningless check-ins and corporate bureaucracy.

That means you get to focus on doing your best work and spending the rest of your time however you want – hanging with family, seeing friends, or playing video games.

#4 We don’t take ourselves too seriously: You’re probably wondering: is working at Rivalry as funny, eccentric, and bizarre as our brand looks online? The answer is yes.

We understand very well that you won’t build an internet culture-infused brand with a team that isn’t fluent in memes, satire, and online trends. Just like the experience on the internet that we wrap our work around, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

We stay up way later than we should playing Valorant, respectfully roast each other in Slack, and keep an open mind. 

#5 Be a part of something special: There are generational cycles in technology where new products rise up to serve an emerging customer in a way legacy companies did not. Rivalry is that company.

We aren’t here to build another run-of-the-mill sportsbook, there’s plenty of those already. We’re here to revolutionize online betting for a demographic that expects more from their products and entertainment.

We’re replacing something past its prime and challenging long-standing beliefs in an age-old industry. You do that by pushing the envelope with big ideas, thinking outside the box, and trying things that no one has ever done before, not following the playbook other companies have written.
