Requirements
• Strong software engineering experience, ideally in backend, game engine, gaming, gambling, betting, or simulation-heavy environments. • Solid experience with Node.js/TypeScript, or strong expertise in another OOP language such as C++, Java, C#, Go, or Python. • Good understanding of software architecture, code quality, testing, debugging, and maintainability. • Experience reviewing complex code and providing clear technical feedback. • Ability to understand domain-specific logic and work with technical systems where business rules, mathematics, and engineering are closely connected. • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work with complex, non-standard technical challenges. • Experience working with production systems where reliability, accuracy, and correctness are critical. • Understanding of backend systems, APIs, data flows, and service-to-service communication. • Ability to collaborate closely with non-engineering technical experts, especially mathematicians or domain specialists. • Strong ownership mindset and willingness to become a key expert in a narrow but highly important technical domain. • Product-oriented thinking, with an understanding that games are the core product and engineering decisions directly affect delivery, quality, and compliance. • English communication skills sufficient for working in an international environment. • Experience in iGaming, gambling, betting, game development, or casino games. • Experience working with game engines, mathematical engines, simulation tools, or game logic frameworks. • Background in C++ or experience working with legacy C++ systems. • Experience with mathematical models, probability-based systems, simulations, random generators, or RTP-related logic. • Understanding of regulated markets and compliance requirements in iGaming. • Experience with ClickHouse or other analytical/columnar databases. • Experience with monitoring, alerting, and production diagnostics. • Experience with AI-assisted code review or automated validation tools. • Knowledge of microservices architecture and distributed systems. • Familiarity with Kafka, gRPC, Kubernetes, or AWS. • Experience integrating third-party games, external studio products, or wrapper-based solutions. • Ukrainian language skills would be a plus.
Responsibilities
• Own, maintain, and evolve Playson’s Game Engine domain • Work on internal frameworks and libraries used by mathematicians to implement game logic and mathematical packages. • Review and validate code written by mathematicians, ensuring quality, correctness, maintainability, and proper usage of internal frameworks. • Contribute to the development and support of game engines used to run mathematical logic within our platform. • Support integrations with external game studios by helping build wrappers and bridges between third-party game implementations and Playson’s platform. • Work with data structures and protocols that connect game logic with frontend and backend systems. • Contribute to RTP monitoring processes, including validation of production transaction data against simulation data and expected mathematical behaviour. • Support and evolve tools used for mathematical review, simulations, data files, monitoring, and alerting. • Implement and maintain round details logic required for regulated markets, ensuring that detailed game round information can be correctly provided to partners and regulators. • Collaborate closely with mathematicians, backend engineers, platform teams, compliance stakeholders, and product representatives. • Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to ensure a high engineering standard across the Game Engine domain. • Investigate issues related to game logic, mathematical validation, monitoring, and engine behaviour. • Take ownership of a highly specialised area where quality, accuracy, and attention to detail are essential.
