    We're a tight-knit, engineering-led team building next-generation gaming and wagering products with a global user base. We're in the exciting phase of scaling up our team and product infrastructure. We’re now looking for smart, self-driven backend developers who enjoy solving hard problems and are eager to grow into highly capable engineers. This full-time remote role is especially well-suited to developers with strong foundational programming skills, a growth mindset, and an interest in distributed systems and infrastructure.
     

    What you'll be doing:
     

    You’ll be part of a small, highly capable team working directly with management and product leads. Your responsibilities will include:
     

    • Designing and building backend services in TypeScript (Node.js), including using event-driven architecture.
    • Building and maintaining messaging and queuing systems to support high-throughput systems.
    • Implementing and maintaining APIs for internal and external consumers.
    • Collaborating on infrastructure work — including setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments (GCP), and containerized services.
    • Writing clean and maintainable code.
    • Working with product managers to translate business needs into technical solutions.
    • Learning and applying new technologies quickly and effectively.

     

    You might be a good fit if:
     

    • You have strong programming fundamentals and a knack for problem solving.
    • You’re self-motivated, curious, and you enjoy figuring things out independently.
    • You have some familiarity with backend development (especially Node.js) and an interest in systems architecture.
    • You understand event-driven systems and queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub, etc.).
    • You’re interested in devops and infrastructure and would be comfortable managing cloud-based deployments and pipelines.
    • You enjoy working in an informal, pragmatic team with direct access to decision-makers.

     

    Nice-to-have skills (but not required):
     

    • Familiarity with cloud providers (GCP, AWS)
    • Experience with Kafka or other messaging systems
    • Comfort with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, or Terraform
    • Exposure to real-time applications or high-throughput systems
    • Interest or experience in the iGaming domain
