As a Senior Engineer, you will focus on developing the back end of a new platform system that will host millions of players. This role centres on building the customer segmentation system, offering you the opportunity to tackle unique, large-scale challenges in a dynamic environment.

What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We have a library of books and videos with good content and encourage staying on top of new practices. 

In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerised apps on AWS, sometimes in ECS but moving to EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run Kotlin on the JVM. TypeScript runs our client side where it’s mostly React. Our databases are PostgreSQL and DynamoDB with Snowflake as our Data warehouse.

What you bring

  • Proven experience with AWS or other cloud-based architectures.
  • Strong knowledge of Kotlin, JVM or similar programming languages.
  • Experience with DynamoDB, Flink, Kafka, or related databases and streaming services.
  • Ability to design and optimise systems for scalability and performance.
