You will have an enormous opportunity to join a fun, exciting and highly motivated team and upgrade your skills while creating real product. Join the multicultural team working on the strategic project of our company. We are at the beginning of the long journey designing, prototyping and implementing portable, scalable and fully adaptive toolkit for an International Betting and Gaming Platform. In cross-functional teams (front-end developers, back-end developers, QAs, DevOps and dedicated architects) we are building the customizable and extensible product, which can be easily adopted in new markets. We use a modern tech stack (frontend: React, Redux, Redux-Saga, XState, Web and Service Workers; backend Java: Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, resilience4j, Reactor; backend Scala: cats, akka, ZIO; general backend: Kafka, Cassandra, Zipkin, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK) and cloud infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Istio, Amazon Web Services) to impact the customer experience. We use agile software development and OKR’s techniques and modern tools to focus our efforts on solving our business goals. We are code, architecture, and infrastructure geeks. And we believe that these practices lead to higher quality products. If you look for respectful, trustful, and motivational environment join us!
