👨‍💻 The Role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep expertise in Python and/or Node.js to build scalable microservices, resilient cloud-native systems, and data-driven applications that serve as the backbone of our gaming and security platforms.

  • Collaborate with AI engineers, DevOps, and product teams to build scalable distributed systems and real-time pipelines.

  • Contribute to the design and architecture of modular, maintainable software with strong data contracts and APIs (REST, GraphQL).

  • Work with technologies like Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL in production environments.

  • Integrate and adjust CI/CD pipelines in collaboration with the TechOps team to support reliable and efficient deployments.

  • Define and monitor application performance metrics and participate in incident response and troubleshooting.

  • Lead by example and mentor junior and mid-level engineers, promoting engineering excellence.

  • Help shape development processes, tools, and standards that improve team productivity.




What You Bring to the Table

  • 5+ years of backend development experience with a strong focus on Python and/or Node.js.

  • Experience building event-based and distributed systems, preferably in a microservices architecture.

  • Solid understanding of containerized environments using Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS (preferred), GCP, or Azure.

  • Experience working with NoSQL and SQL databases, particularly MongoDB, Redis, and PostgreSQL.

  • Experience defining and integrating APIs, ideally with REST and optionally GraphQL.

  • Familiarity with message brokers like Kafka (or similar).

  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and tools such as GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or CircleCI.
    Strong foundation in software engineering principles, testing strategies, and clean code practices.




⭐ Nice to Have

  • Experience with Terraform or other IaC tools to manage infrastructure.

  • Exposure to AI and machine learning workflows or interest in working alongside AI-focused teams.

  • Familiarity with Python data libraries like Pandas, NumPy, or scikit-learn.

  • Interest in the gaming industry or prior experience in iGaming platforms.
