Tech Specialist (Affiliate Marketing) in iGaming — Runs the technical side of traffic arbitrage: tracker, cloaking, domains, servers, PWAs and white pages, so buyers' traffic reaches the offer without getting banned.

What the role involves

The media buyer thinks about creatives and bids; everything the click passes through is on the tech specialist. They install and configure Keitaro, set up cloaking flows and filters, buy and park domains, make sure they don't end up on blocklists, build white pages for moderation and deploy PWAs or hand apps over to buyers. A separate part of the day goes on servers: Cloudflare, SSL, redirects, load speed and logs when a buyer's conversion suddenly drops. A good tech specialist closes tasks within the hour, because every minute a campaign is down costs money, and quickly automates routine work with scripts.

  • Install and configure Keitaro or Binom trackers, flows and postbacks
  • Set up cloaking and filtering of bots and moderators
  • Buy, connect and monitor domains, Cloudflare, SSL
  • Build white pages and pre-landers, deploy PWAs and hand apps to buyers
  • Administer the team's servers and anti-detect infrastructure

How to break into the profession

People come from front-end layout, system administration or farming. Without arbitrage experience you can still get hired if you're confident with servers and domains and pick up Keitaro quickly.

Working hours: Remote, Mon–Fri, but with on-call: if a buyer's landing page goes down in the evening, it needs fixing right away.

Market demand: Every arbitrage team with five or more buyers needs one, as do affiliate networks that give webmasters their own apps and PWAs. Tech specialists who write their own scripts and can build infrastructure from scratch are especially valued.
