Job description

Our client seeks a Software Engineer to join their team.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and own some of the projects end to end: backend, deployment, and the day‑to‑day of keeping them healthy.
• Design systems that are simple to run and simple for the next person to read.
• Work with AI agents as a normal part of how you build, and know when to trust them and when not to.
• Integrate with third‑party services (KYC providers, payment and gaming platforms, forensic data sources).
• Pick up whatever the project needs, including bits of frontend, data work, and infrastructure.

Key Skills & Experience

• Strong backend engineering in at least one language, and the sense to pick the right tool rather than the familiar one.
• Cloud and deployment. You can put a service into production and look after it, not just write the code.
• Solid grounding in system design and engineering principles. You think about failure, data, and maintenance before you think about frameworks.
• Fluent with agentic development. You've built real things with coding agents (Claude Code or similar) and you understand context management, skills and subagents, prompting, and orchestration. You have a view on where they help and where they get in the way.
• API design and integration. Clean interfaces, sensible contracts, third‑party services wired in without drama.
• Enough frontend and UI sense to build a decent interface, even if you're not a frontend specialist.
• Comfortable across several languages, for example Python, Go, or Java, and happy to pick up whatever a project calls for.
• Application security, and care when handling sensitive data.
• Any exposure to forensics, compliance, fraud, or eGaming.
