Their flagship sportsbook makes fans part of the story: free-to-play, social, and laced with leaderboards, sweepstakes, badges, and loyalty rewards. This is where gaming meets community, and scale meets imagination.
They need a Senior Python Engineer who thrives on responsibility, not routine. Someone who wants to shape architecture, own services end-to-end, and ensure systems perform under the weight of millions of users worldwide.

• Architect distributed systems with Python and Django, tuned for scale and low latency.
• Shape solutions that support millions of active users.
• Work hands-on with Kafka, APIs, pipelines, caching, and cloud.
• Lead reviews, mentor engineers, and set the technical direction.
• Optimise systems for speed, resilience, and fault tolerance.
• Implement testing across unit, integration, and performance levels.
• Strengthen observability with monitoring and logging.
• Collaborate with product, frontend, and DevOps to ship with pace and reliability.
• Share in on-call rotations to keep production healthy.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of Python backend development, with real ownership of delivery.
• Strength in Django and asyncio.
• Experience building distributed systems and microservices.
• Hands-on with Kafka, Docker, CI/CD, PostgreSQL.
• Cloud expertise (AWS preferred).
• Comfort with monitoring tools like Grafana or Prometheus.
• Exposure to systems at scale (1M+ users a plus).
• Strong problem-solving instincts and drive for quality.
• Ability to mentor and lead within Agile environments.

Desirable extras: Kubernetes, React, event sourcing/CQRS, big data tools (Flink, NiFi), Terraform, or iGaming experience.
Why This Role Matters

• Work 100% remotely while staying connected globally.
• Engineer high-performance systems serving millions of players.
• Step into professional growth in a fast-moving, international setting.
• Join a culture built on collaboration, inclusivity, and knowledge-sharing.
• Freedom to experiment, innovate, and solve real-world challenges.
