What are we building?
While Hard Rock has been a mainstay for 50 years, Hard Rock Digital is a true start up that's rapidly expanding our footprint across the US and international gaming markets. Our product and engineering team is based in Austin, where we are a close-knit team of product managers, designers and developers building a better customer experience in the fast-growing online sports betting and iGaming space. While online gaming is a new industry in the US, the legacy technology powering the industry is not cutting edge. We're here to change that. We're a passionate group of sports and casino fans who are building the future of online gaming with customer-focused products and cutting-edge technology.
