We’re looking for a Software Engineer who’s excited about building scalable backend services and making a real impact. You’ll take ownership from idea to delivery, contribute to technical discussions, and help foster a collaborative, knowledge-sharing environment.

(We are looking for a person already residing in Malta for this position)

You’ll join a supportive team where your ideas matter and where you’ll have opportunities to both learn and mentor others. While experience with Java is a plus, we welcome engineers with other object-oriented backgrounds (such as C# or C++) who are eager to work with Java.

In this role, you’ll help build and evolve high-performance, mission-critical backend systems powering our games and real-time transactions. You’ll work across the full development lifecycle and contribute to a culture of clean code, strong engineering practices, and continuous improvement.

If you enjoy solving meaningful problems and building systems that make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

You will:

• Build, operate, and continuously improve our core backend systems, ensuring they remain robust, scalable, and reliable

• Develop and maintain backend services powering games, jackpots, tournaments, and promotional features

• Apply best practices to create high-performing systems capable of handling real-time, real-money transactions

• Contribute throughout the software development lifecycle, from early discussions and design to implementation, testing, and deployment

• Collaborate closely with teammates and stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code that your team can build on with confidence

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues, working together with the team to continuously improve our systems

• Support monitoring, performance optimisation, and the overall reliability of our platform

• Share your knowledge and help grow the team by mentoring and supporting more junior engineers

We’re looking for someone with:

• At least 4 years of experience

• Strong understanding of OOP languages (example: Java, C#, C++) and software design principles

• Strong problem-solving skills and clarity in tackling complex challenges

• Understanding of scalable backend architectures and distributed systems concepts

• Ability to optimise algorithms for speed and scalability

• Experience using Java or a willingness to work extensively with Java

A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) is preferred.

Nice to Have

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Communicative and collaborative

• Positive and proactive

• Eager to learn and improve

• Trustworthy and self-motivated

• Comfortable taking ownership and initiative
  
  On a personal level, we prioritise attitude over credentials
