Senior Backend Engineer (Gaming)

Senior Backend Engineer (Gaming)

🚀 Why This Role Matters

Happening powers the technology behind Superbet’s platforms and brands, serving millions of customers. Our Game Integrations squad connects third-party providers to our core platform and ensures those experiences are reliable, scalable, and compliant.

We’re growing and scaling fast, and we need a Senior Backend Engineer who can deliver high-quality integrations, shape engineering standards, and help accelerate how quickly new providers go live.

How we work: We’re product-minded squads with strong ownership, candid feedback, and measurable outcomes. We build, run, and continuously improve the tech that powers Superbet’s customer experience.

What You’Ll Do

• Work across boundaries - collaborate with Product, Compliance, SRE, Data, Security, and external partners to keep delivery smooth.
• Level up the team - mentor more junior teammates through sharp code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing.
• Build integrations end-to-end - design contracts, implement services, write tests, and ship with confidence.
• Own reliability - define SLIs/SLOs, set up observability (metrics, logs, traces), and join on-call.
• Keep systems healthy - tackle production issues, reduce tech debt, and simplify through pragmatic refactors.

🛠️ Tech We Use

• Node.js + TypeScript (backend services & integrations)
• Kubernetes (K8s) in production, CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments
• REST APIs with versioning & backward compatibility
• Observability stack → metrics, tracing, logging, dashboards, and alerts
• 6+ years building backend systems (ideally integrations) with Node.js + TypeScript
• Solid production experience with Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines
• Strong background in API design (REST) and maintaining compatibility at scale
• Focus on testing & quality (unit, integration, QA collaboration)

What We’Re Looking For

• Event-driven systems (Kafka) and low-latency/high-throughput workloads
• Ability to write clear docs and status updates that keep teammates aligned
• Gaming/fintech/e-commerce integrations (wallets, catalogs, identity, compliance)
• Experience in regulated environments with staged rollouts
• Cutting time-to-integrate new providers from weeks to days
• Improving observability, testability, and reliability at scale
• Becoming a go-to engineer for design and debugging while uplifting others

Nice To Have

• Experience with Nest.js
