About The Role

We’re currently building a state-of-the-art, modular, multi-tenant iGaming platform. This role sits at the core of the engineering team responsible for developing highly scalable services, intuitive frontend interfaces, and seamless third-party integrations, including games.

As a Senior Backend Developer, you’ll work closely with the Tech Lead and cross-functional squads to deliver microservices and backend components. We’re looking for someone with a polyglot mindset — comfortable adapting to different technologies as needed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Laravel.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional squads to deliver high-quality features and integrations.
  • Build multi-tenant features with clear data separation and high configurability.
  • Integrate third-party APIs and services, including payment processors, game providers, wallets, and analytics tools.
  • Ensure the performance, security, and observability of all systems.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and conduct peer reviews.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment processes.
  • Contribute to internal tools and libraries that improve engineering efficiency.

About You

  • 5+ years of experience in backend development with Laravel, or other modern PHP frameworks such as Symfony or Phalcon.
  • Strong understanding of modern software architecture, REST APIs, and microservices.
  • Familiar with multi-tenant systems, RBAC, and secure backend development.
  • Exposure to observability practices, structured logging, and distributed systems.
  • Comfortable working in cloud-native environments and using modern DevOps practices.
  • Experience with Java or a modern JavaScript framework is a plus.
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset in remote-first teams.
  • Bonus: experience in the iGaming industry.
