We're looking for skilled Senior Backend Engineers to join our engineering team. We have multiple opportunities available across a range of different areas. In this role, you'll build and maintain the backend systems that power our product experience, develop APIs that support our mobile and web applications, and deliver robust, maintainable code, all within a fast-paced, daily deployment environment.
Our backend is primarily built in Python and runs on AWS. We use technologies including Flask, Pytest, Mypy, Docker, PostgreSQL, SQS, S3, and Terraform. Experience with this stack is a plus, but it's not essential, what matters most is strong backend fundamentals and a commitment to high engineering standards.
You don't need prior gaming or casino experience. We're looking for someone with solid technical foundations and the curiosity to learn and grow within the domain.
Responsibilities
- Own the full backend lifecycle - Design, develop, test, monitor and maintain backend services for our systems.
- Build the APIs that power the experience - Create clean, efficient, and well-documented APIs for our web and mobile applications.
- Champion code quality - Write high-quality, maintainable code with a focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.
- Raise the engineering bar - Participate in code reviews and help uphold the quality and consistency of the codebase.
- Shape technical direction - Contribute to architectural decisions and broader technical strategy.
- Collaborate across teams and partners - Work closely with engineers, product teams, and external vendors to integrate third-party systems seamlessly.
- Ship with confidence and speed - Deliver features and improvements in a continuous deployment environment.
- Keep us ahead of the curve - Stay current with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience building and operating production systems at scale.
- Strong proficiency in Python (or another backend language with willingness to learn Python)
- Strong experience designing, building, and operating event-driven architectures using messaging and streaming technologies such as Kafka.
- Proven track record of designing, delivering, and owning significant backend systems from conception through to production.
- Strong understanding of system design, distributed systems, scalability, reliability, performance, and observability.
- Experience working with PostgreSQL and caching technologies such as Redis.
- Comfortable building and operating cloud-native applications on AWS.
- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of problems end-to-end, driving solutions from discovery and design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing operation.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working closely with product, design, and engineering stakeholders.
- A pragmatic approach to software engineering, balancing technical excellence with delivering value to customers.
