The short version

Own the services behind wallet, bonusing and game aggregation for 26 operator brands across 13 markets.

Our platform moves real money for real operators, at a volume where a 200ms regression is a support queue by lunchtime. You will work on the parts where correctness is not negotiable.

What you would own

  • Design and ship services in the wallet and bonus engine — the code path every spin, deposit and payout goes through.
  • Own integrations with game providers and payment processors end to end, from the contract review to the production runbook.
  • Bring latency and failure budgets down: profiling, query plans, caching strategy, queue topology.
  • Review code from four other engineers and make the review something they look forward to.
  • Carry the on-call pager one week in six, with a rota that respects it.

What we are looking for

  • 5+ years building production backend services, at least two of them owning something with money or state that cannot be lost.
  • Deep PHP (Laravel) or a strong case for why your other backend language transfers — we care about the reasoning, not the syntax.
  • Relational database fluency past ORM defaults: indexes, isolation levels, deadlocks, migrations that do not lock a hot table.
  • Comfortable with queues, idempotency and retry semantics in a distributed system.
  • You can explain a design trade-off to a non-engineer without flattening it.

Nice, not necessary

Missing all of these has never cost anyone an offer here.

  • iGaming, payments, trading or another regulated, high-throughput domain.
  • Experience with provider or aggregator integrations at scale.
  • Go or Rust for the services where PHP stops being the right answer.
  • Hebrew, Russian or Ukrainian — useful across the team, never required.
