Why This Role

We’re building the guardrails of betting tech — systems that help regulators and operators protect players via responsible gaming features, real-time self-exclusion, and strong compliance. If you enjoy owning outcomes, shipping pragmatically, and engineering with a purpose, you’ll fit right in.

​

What You’ll Do

• Build backend and frontend components across the stack for RG workflows: self-exclusion, operator integrations, audit trails, reporting

• Work in AWS infrastructure: EC2 / ECS (Fargate & EC2), RDS Postgres (HA / Multi-AZ), S3, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, KMS, ACM, WAF/Shield, API Gateway, Cognito/SSO

• Design APIs and data models that are auditable, reliable, and privacy-aware (PII minimization, encryption at rest and in transit)

• Contribute to the React frontend (feature work, UI integration, reporting)

• Harden security & compliance with best practices: logging, least-privilege IAM, key rotation, audit evidence, etc.

• Own quality: code reviews, test suites, CI/CD hygiene, runbooks, and pragmatic on-call responsibility

 

What Great Looks Like

• You’re comfortable across the full stack (backend, frontend, APIs) — perhaps your dominant strength is backend, but you can dip into UI & integration work

• You have strong architectural judgment: building systems that are simple, observable, and secure

• You like working in small teams with clear ownership, and shipping end to end

• You can learn new languages and paradigms quickly, especially in a domain with high operational demands

 

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software experience (or equivalent in a strong portfolio)

• Solid experience across backend (e.g. service architecture, APIs, data models) and frontend components (React or similar)

• Hands-on AWS experience: compute, storage, networking, IAM, monitoring/alerts

• Comfortable working with Postgres database: schema design, migrations, performance tuning

• Willingness to learn Go / Elixir (or other backend languages) — exposure to Elixir / Phoenix is a plus but not mandatory

• Practical understanding of security, privacy, and auditing in data systems

 

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in regulated industries (fintech, gaming, health), SOC 2 practices, or data retention policies

• Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)

• API design for third parties: rate limiting, idempotency, resilience

• Observability (logging, metrics, tracing), incident playbooks

• Data pipelines & reporting: batch / scheduled jobs, exports (CSV / Parquet), S3 → API downloads

 

Our Stack (Current & Near-Term)

• Backend: Currently Go + an Elixir service

• Frontend: React

• Infra: AWS (ECS on EC2 & Fargate), EC2, RDS Postgres (Multi-AZ), S3 (+ CRR), CloudWatch / CloudTrail, WAF / Shield, API Gateway, Cognito (SSO), ACM, KMS

• Practices: Simple CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, strong logging / audit trails, encryption, principle of least privilege

 

How We Work

• Best practices + pragmatism: Correctness, clarity, maintainability over hype

• Ownership: You’ll define, build, and maintain features that impact real users

 

Compensation

We offer a competitive salary plus meaningful equity.
