Senior Software Engineer (Backend)
We are on a mission to pioneer the world’s next era of play. As we grow across Europe and Latin America, we’re building The Playstack - the technology powering the next generation of sports, gaming, and fan experiences. Join us, and help make it the most widely used platform in the world! From operations, to marketing, to product, we are looking for talented people who will shape how millions of customers play, watch, and connect every day.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our engineering organisation, helping to build and scale the infrastructure that powers one of the largest sports betting operators in the region — a network of 1,000+ locations operating across multiple geographies and handling 22 million bets per month. You will contribute to the reliability, scalability, and automation of cloud-native systems that serve users at scale, working closely with distributed engineering teams across the organisation.
What the role involves
- Own the full development lifecycle — from planning and implementation through to release and maintenance.
- Build and improve backend systems using a versatile tech stack including DynamoDB, AWS Aurora, Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Ensure reliability, security, and compliance whilst keeping customer friction to a minimum.
- Drive medium-to-large scoped work independently, contributing to technical direction and raising the quality bar through code and collaboration.
- Collaborate across teams using tools such as Notion, Jira, GitHub, Google Suite, and Slack to maximise productivity.
What we are looking for
- 5+ years of backend development experience.
- Strong backend engineering experience building production services.
- Good database fundamentals: schema design, indexing, query performance, migrations, and transactional boundaries.
- Deep understanding of best practices, design patterns, and core principles in software development.
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate complex domains and optimise high-traffic, high-availability systems.
- Ownership of technical quality, development process, and developer experience.
- Autonomous working style — proactively unblocking, collaborating across teams, and taking initiative.
Nice to have
- Experience with Go (preferred but not required; current backend is Node.js, which is being decommissioned).
- Experience in regulated domains such as payments, AML, identity, self-exclusion, or compliance-heavy systems.
- Experience with legacy migrations and decommissioning large systems.
- Experience with event-driven systems, queues, and distributed workflows.
What we offer
- Medical / Health Insurance
- Open Annual Leave
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Training & Learning Development
Additional benefits vary by country and will be shared during the hiring process.
