Ensure backend systems are secure, performant, and capable of supporting both high-volume traffic and rapid casino brand deployments. Influence architectural decisions and contribute to the technical strategy of the delivery stream, balancing fast delivery with sustainable engineering practices. Develop reusable tools, libraries, and components to streamline development and support automation across multiple brands. Implement and maintain testing, observability, and monitoring solutions to guarantee high-quality releases and fast issue identification. Take full ownership of deliverables—from development through deployment and ongoing production performance—ensuring uptime, reliability, and seamless customer experiences. Actively participate in, and when necessary lead, Scrum and SDLC ceremonies such as sprint planning, refinements, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups.

Strong knowledge of software architecture, microservices, and distributed system design. Proficiency with relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL), including schema design and SQL performance optimisation. Hands-on experience with AWS services such as ECS, RDS, S3, and Lambda, and a solid understanding of cloud-native software development. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, and automated quality checks. Proven track record of delivering business-critical systems in fast-paced and iterative environments. Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate trade-offs between speed, complexity, and technical debt. Demonstrated ability to work closely with product teams to deliver business impact without compromising technical quality. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience. 5+ years of backend development experience in production environments.
