Playson - Technical Lead (Boosters)
Requirements
• Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript (our primary backend stack). We’re also open to strong backend engineers from other ecosystems (e.g., Go, Java, C#, C++) who are ready to ramp up quickly. • Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and concurrency patterns. • Experience building distributed systems and working with messaging and coordination tools (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, distributed locks). • Experience with gRPC in production environments. • Solid knowledge of databases: relational (MySQL, PostgreSQL), columnar (ClickHouse), and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB). • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and Kubernetes. • Skilled in building and maintaining unit and end-to-end tests. • Proven track record of delivering production-ready solutions. • Experience working with large-scale microservices architectures. • Degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). • Understanding of application security and industry best practices.
Responsibilities
• Own technical decisions and technical part of the products and architecture for Boosters services (hands-on, production-grade). • Develop and maintain backend applications for promotional features. • Drive delivery as a key contributor: tech design → implement → test → release → operate. • Optimize existing systems for performance, scalability, and reliability in a distributed environment. • Lead the team execution with a “PoC-first” approach: fast validation → measurable outcomes → production hardening. • Conduct code and architectural reviews; set engineering standards and best practices. • Be the go-to technical owner: any tech problem in the domain is your problem to solve (with the team). • Participate in on-call rotation and continuously improve operability (monitoring, alerting, runbooks, incident reviews).
Benefits
• We’re scaling Playson’s Promotional Features domain and building the Boosters direction further as part of our growth. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll personally build and ship production-ready features and own the technical direction of the Boosters team. Performance, scalability, and reliability are non-negotiable. • Boosters is responsible for player-facing network promotional features such as: • Progressive Jackpots • Smart Prize Drop Systems • Team & Collaboration model • Tech Boosters is an end-to-end cross-functional squad including: • Full-stack & Backend Engineers • Automation QA & Manual QA • Product Boosters • Product Manager • Product Designer • Product Analyst • There is no classic Product Owner/PM in the squad. You’ll work with a product commercial manager who acts as the customer - defines what is needed, why and how fast it is needed on the market. Your tech team owns how it will be built and when it will be delivered. • Remote-first with flexible working arrangements across Europe or Ukraine • Competitive compensation package (with performance-based bonuses up to 50%) • Unlimited paid vacation & sick leave (B2B model) • Premium health insurance (for you + 1 family member) • Learning & development support (courses, certifications, mentoring, conferences) • International exposure – attend industry expos, team gatherings & global meetups
