Playson

About the role

We’re looking for someone who owns delivery — not tracks it, not reports it, owns it.

You’ll be responsible for a specific area: games, features, or platform work. From the first conversation about a requirement through to production — you’re on the hook for the whole thing.

This isn’t a coordination-only role. We need someone with previous hands-on software engineering, DevOps, release engineering, or similar technical experience who can actively improve and automate the way software is built, tested, and released.

You set the timeline, track it, and communicate changes before people start asking questions. If there’s a blocker, you’ve already seen it. If a release isn’t ready, you say so — clearly and early.

You’ll look at how work flows through your area and fix what’s broken. Not just follow whatever process exists. You’ll design something that actually works, iterate on it, and make it better over time.

A key part of the role will be identifying manual steps, bottlenecks, and failure points in development and release workflows, and then building practical automation to remove them. This may include improving CI/CD pipelines, automating release checks, connecting tools through APIs, and developing scripts or lightweight internal solutions.

Quality is yours too. Not QA’s problem alone, not the tech lead’s problem. You own release readiness: is it tested, is it documented, does anyone know the operational risk. If the answer is no, it doesn’t ship.

You’ll work closely with product, engineering, QA, and client-facing teams, keep them aligned, and report directly to the VP of Delivery.


What we expect from you

First 30 days

• Understand how delivery actually works in your area — not how it should work, how it actually works
• Map where work gets stuck, what the recurring blockers are, and who the key people are
• Meet everyone who matters: product owners, tech leads, QA, release managers, client teams
• Write up what you found and share it with the VP of Delivery

First 60 days

• Take ownership of delivery tracking for your area
• Pick the biggest workflow problem you found and start fixing it
• Show you can catch a blocker before it causes a delay — at least twice

First 90 days

• Own and communicate a delivery forecast that stakeholders actually trust
• Ship at least one release with no last-minute surprises — quality gates passed, documentation done, everyone aligned
• Present your view on how delivery should work in your area going forward

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years in an engineering delivery, software delivery leadership, or similar role where you owned outcomes, not just process
• Previous hands-on experience as a Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Release Engineer, Build Engineer, Developer Productivity Engineer, or in a similarly technical role.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including builds, automated testing, versioning, deployment, monitoring, and rollback.
• You catch problems early. Not because you’re lucky, but because you know what signals to watch
• You’ve worked across engineering, product, and QA and you know how to keep them moving together
• Strong communicator — you can give a clear, honest delivery update to a VP without needing a slide deck
• You care about quality beyond closing tickets — release readiness, testing coverage, operational risk are things you think about naturally
• You’re genuinely interested in the product you’re delivering, not just the process around it
• You actively look for repetitive manual work and replace it with reliable, maintainable automation.

Nice to have

• Background in iGaming, gaming, or another regulated product environment
• Experience in a B2B or multi-operator delivery model
• Familiarity with incident management and post-mortems
• Experience working with external studios or third-party development partners
• OKR-based planning and how it connects to delivery cadence
• Jira or similar tooling — configuration, not just usage

What we offer

• Real ownership and direct impact — you’ll see the results of your decisions in production
• Direct collaboration with the VP of Delivery in a team that’s being built deliberately
• Space to design and improve delivery processes, not just execute someone else’s playbook
• A fast-moving product environment where delivery quality is taken seriously
• Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive salary, subject to annual performance reviews.
• Quarterly Bonuses: Benefit from a transparent and systematic quarterly bonus system.
• Unlimited Paid Vacation: Enjoy unlimited paid vacation leave, including Ukrainian bank holidays.
• Unlimited Paid Sick Leave: Take unlimited paid sick leave whenever necessary.
• Flexible Schedule: We offer a flexible work schedule to accommodate your needs.
• Remote Work: Choose to work remotely, providing greater flexibility and comfort.
• Medical Insurance: Receive comprehensive medical insurance for both you and a significant other.
• Financial Support for Life Events: We provide financial support during special life events.
• Professional Development: Get reimbursement for professional development courses and training.
• International Exposure: Attend industry expos, team gatherings, and global meet-ups

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.
• Solid experience with Node.js/TypeScript, or strong expertise in another OOP language such as C++, Java, C#, Go, or Python.
• Good understanding of software architecture, code quality, testing, debugging, and maintainability.
• 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.
• Background in C++ or experience working with legacy C++ systems.
• Experience with mathematical models, probability-based systems, simulations, random generators, or RTP-related logic.
• Understanding of regulated markets and compliance requirements in iGaming.
• Experience with ClickHouse or other analytical/columnar databases.
• Experience with monitoring, alerting, and production diagnostics.
• Experience with AI-assisted code review or automated validation tools.
• Knowledge of microservices architecture and distributed systems.
• Familiarity with Kafka, gRPC, Kubernetes, or AWS.
• Experience integrating third-party games, external studio products, or wrapper-based solutions.
• Ukrainian language skills would be a plus.
