Job description

Accountabilities

- Architecture and Software Development: Design, architect, and deliver scalable software solutions and new features from conception to production within an agile development environment.

- API and Service Engineering: Build, maintain, and optimize REST APIs, low-latency gRPC services, and SQL queries supporting player registration, authentication, identity verification, fraud detection, and other critical platform capabilities.

- Identity and Security: Develop and maintain secure systems for OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, multi-factor authentication, biometrics, know-your-customer verification, and the secure handling of personally identifiable information.

- Performance and Reliability: Identify production bottlenecks, investigate performance regressions, conduct load testing and tracing, and implement improvements that enhance scalability, availability, and responsiveness.

- Monitoring and Incident Management: Establish and refine monitoring, alerting, and observability practices using tools such as Datadog. Participate in on-call rotations and take ownership of production services and release cycles.

- Systems Integration: Design and maintain integrations between internal services, legacy platforms, and external providers for identity verification, fraud prevention, geolocation, messaging, and other essential capabilities.

- Data Management and Migration: Develop and maintain data transformation processes, migration strategies, and supporting infrastructure that preserve data integrity, consistency, and system interoperability.

- Technical Leadership: Own complex engineering challenges, prepare detailed technical proposals, and present architectural recommendations to leadership and partner teams.

- Code Quality and Mentorship: Promote clean architecture, testing standards, and software engineering best practices through code reviews, technical specifications, collaborative problem-solving, and mentorship.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with stakeholders across business and technology teams to deliver reliable products, improve operational efficiency, manage technical risks, and optimize costs.

- Continuous Improvement: Evaluate emerging technologies and development practices, including AI-assisted and agentic software development tools, to improve engineering productivity while maintaining high standards of quality and security.

Requirements

- Professional Experience: At least five years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record of designing, developing, and operating production-grade applications.

- Computer Science Fundamentals: Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, software design principles, and scalable application architecture.

- Backend Development: Experience building modern applications and APIs using frameworks such as Phoenix, Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, Laravel, or Node.js.

- Database Expertise: Strong understanding of relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL and MySQL, including schema design, normalization, denormalization, query optimization, and performance trade-offs.

- Production Systems: Demonstrated experience identifying and resolving performance issues involving CPU utilization, memory, I/O, latency, and throughput in high-volume production services.

- Authentication and Security: Experience developing authentication, identity, or other regulated systems requiring strong security, auditability, and data protection. Knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWT, MFA, authorization models, and secure PII handling is particularly important.

- Cloud-Native Infrastructure: Experience with Kubernetes, containerized applications, and production service operations.

- Asynchronous Processing: Familiarity with background job processing frameworks such as Oban, Exq, Sidekiq, Celery, or Beanstalkd, as well as event-driven systems such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS/SNS, or Google Cloud Pub/Sub.

- Testing and Development Tools: Experience with testing frameworks such as ExUnit, RSpec, Jest, or pytest, alongside proficiency with Git, GitHub or equivalent version control tools, and command-line environments.

- Technical Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing technical specifications, runbooks, and cross-team architecture documents. Ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly and collaborate effectively across teams.

- Operational Ownership: Experience managing production releases, participating in on-call rotations, troubleshooting incidents, and taking responsibility for service reliability throughout the software lifecycle.

- AI-Assisted Development: Experience using agentic software development tools, designing agentic workflows, and validating AI-generated outputs is a strong advantage.

- Preferred Qualifications: Experience with Elixir, hexagonal architecture, Domain-Driven Design, open-source contributions, or startup environments is beneficial. Additional assets include experience with financial or accounting systems requiring high accuracy and auditability, GraphQL schema design, multi-client or white-label platforms, jurisdiction-specific routing, and gaming regulatory frameworks such as AGCO and DGE.
