About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a newly forming team that will own one of the most specialised and business-critical domains in our technology landscape — Game Engine.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, game mathematics, platform, and compliance. You’ll work on the tools, frameworks, and services that enable our mathematicians and game teams to build, validate, run, and monitor game logic in production.

This position is about deep ownership of a very specific technical domain: game engines, mathematical packages, simulation data, RTP monitoring, round details, and integrations with games developed both internally and by external studios.

You’ll be part of a small, experienced team with a high level of responsibility. The impact of this work is direct: incorrect game logic, missing round details, or inaccurate RTP monitoring can affect game delivery timelines, business performance, and regulatory readiness.

If you enjoy working close to complex domain logic, reviewing technical implementations, understanding how games work under the hood, and owning systems where precision matters — this role will feel like home.

Key Responsibilities

• Own, maintain, and evolve Playson’s Game Engine domain
• Work on internal frameworks and libraries used by mathematicians to implement game logic and mathematical packages.
• Review and validate code written by mathematicians, ensuring quality, correctness, maintainability, and proper usage of internal frameworks.
• Contribute to the development and support of game engines used to run mathematical logic within our platform.
• Support integrations with external game studios by helping build wrappers and bridges between third-party game implementations and Playson’s platform.
• Work with data structures and protocols that connect game logic with frontend and backend systems.
• Contribute to RTP monitoring processes, including validation of production transaction data against simulation data and expected mathematical behaviour.
• Support and evolve tools used for mathematical review, simulations, data files, monitoring, and alerting.
• Implement and maintain round details logic required for regulated markets, ensuring that detailed game round information can be correctly provided to partners and regulators.
• Collaborate closely with mathematicians, backend engineers, platform teams, compliance stakeholders, and product representatives.
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to ensure a high engineering standard across the Game Engine domain.
• Investigate issues related to game logic, mathematical validation, monitoring, and engine behaviour.
• Participate in minimal on-call responsibilities related to the systems owned by the team, mainly around monitoring, alerts, and domain-specific incidents.
• Take ownership of a highly specialised area where quality, accuracy, and attention to detail are essential.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering experience, ideally in backend, game engine, gaming, gambling, betting, or simulation-heavy environments.
• Strong background in C++ and experience working with legacy C++ systems.
• Good understanding of software architecture, code quality, testing, debugging, and maintainability.
• Experience with mathematical models, probability-based systems, simulations, random generators, or RTP-related logic.
• Experience reviewing complex code and providing clear technical feedback.
• Ability to understand domain-specific logic and work with technical systems where business rules, mathematics, and engineering are closely connected.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work with complex, non-standard technical challenges.
• Experience working with production systems where reliability, accuracy, and correctness are critical.
• Understanding of backend systems, APIs, data flows, and service-to-service communication.
• Ability to collaborate closely with non-engineering technical experts, especially mathematicians or domain specialists.
• Strong ownership mindset and willingness to become a key expert in a narrow but highly important technical domain.
• Product-oriented thinking, with an understanding that games are the core product and engineering decisions directly affect delivery, quality, and compliance.
• English communication skills sufficient for working in an international environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience in iGaming, gambling, betting, game development, or casino games.
• Experience working with game engines, mathematical engines, simulation tools, or game logic frameworks.

What this role actually is

This is a hands-on operational role. Your customers are our employees. The work is a mix of live support, access administration, endpoint and MDM management, onboarding and offboarding, equipment logistics, and documentation, plus improving those processes so the same problems stop coming back.

You will own requests end-to-end rather than passing them along, work directly with non-technical colleagues, and handle several things at once on a busy day. Routine service work is a permanent part of the job, not a temporary phase before something else.

Key Responsibilities

• Own employee IT requests end-to-end: prioritize by impact and urgency, keep people informed, resolve, document, and prevent recurrence.
• Administer user accounts, permissions, and access across Google Workspace, Atlassian, GitHub, and AWS, applying least privilege.
• Run IT onboarding and offboarding: accounts provisioned on day one, access revoked promptly on exit, devices recovered.
• Prepare, configure, and maintain macOS and Windows workstations through MDM: policies, software deployment, patching, encryption, and recovery.
• Own IT equipment procurement, delivery, returns, and inventory accuracy for employees across supported locations, including international shipping and vendor coordination.
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and SaaS issues methodically: reproduce, isolate, verify.
• Maintain IT documentation, knowledge-base articles, and asset records so support does not depend on one person being online.
• Reduce repetitive work through practical scripting and automation, and improve support processes without weakening security controls.
• Enforce IT security and access policies; recognize and escalate suspicious activity and access gaps.
   

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in IT support, Service Desk, or system administration, with personal ownership of the areas above (not adjacent exposure while other teams handled them).
• Practical experience supporting macOS in a production employee environment.
• Hands-on MDM administration (Jamf, Kandji, Intune, JumpCloud, Hexnode, or similar): enrollment, policies, software deployment, compliance.
• Administration of Google Workspace, plus at least two of: Atlassian, GitHub access management, or cloud IAM (AWS / GCP / Azure).
• Demonstrated ownership of access lifecycle — joiners, movers, leavers — including approval flows and least-privilege practice.
• Experience with equipment provisioning, inventory, and remote/international delivery.
• Solid understanding of network fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, VPN, TCP/IP) and endpoint security basics (encryption, EDR, MFA/SSO).
• Experience working in a ticketing system with SLAs, and maintaining written documentation.
• Ability to handle a high volume of concurrent requests, interruptions, and difficult support situations while communicating calmly and clearly.
• At least one concrete example of automating or redesigning a repetitive support process, where you can explain your own contribution and the measurable outcome.
• Ukrainian: fluent. English: B1 or higher — enough to support colleagues, write tickets, and maintain documentation in an international company.

Nice to Have

• Scripting and automation (Bash, PowerShell, Python).
• Apple Business Manager, Zero-Touch / automated device deployment.
• Experience with VPN, LDAP, or ZTNA solutions.
• Exposure to ISO 27001 / SOC 2 processes or security audits.
• Interest in security topics (access control, endpoint security, Zero Trust).
• iGaming industry experience.
• Relevant certifications (CompTIA A+/Network+, Google Workspace, Microsoft, Apple, or similar).

What We Offer

• Competitive Salary
• Quarterly Bonuses
• Unlimited Paid Time Off
• Unlimited Paid Sick Leave
• Remote & Flexible Working
• Private Medical Insurance
• Financial Support for Life Events
