Job description

Our client isn’t tinkering with the edges, they’re rewriting the script of sports gaming.

Their flagship sportsbook makes fans part of the story: free-to-play, social, and laced with leaderboards, sweepstakes, badges, and loyalty rewards.

This is where gaming meets community, and scale meets imagination.


They need a Senior Python Engineer who thrives on responsibility, not routine.

Someone who wants to shape architecture, own services end-to-end, and ensure systems perform under the weight of millions of users worldwide.



What You’ll Do


  • Own backend services from design through deployment, driving continuous improvement.
  • Architect distributed systems with Python and Django, tuned for scale and low latency.
  • Shape solutions that support millions of active users.
  • Work hands-on with Kafka, APIs, pipelines, caching, and cloud.
  • Lead reviews, mentor engineers, and set the technical direction.
  • Optimise systems for speed, resilience, and fault tolerance.
  • Implement testing across unit, integration, and performance levels.
  • Strengthen observability with monitoring and logging.
  • Collaborate with product, frontend, and DevOps to ship with pace and reliability.
  • Share in on-call rotations to keep production healthy.



What You Bring


  • 5+ years of Python backend development, with real ownership of delivery.
  • Strength in Django and asyncio.
  • Experience building distributed systems and microservices.
  • Hands-on with Kafka, Docker, CI/CD, PostgreSQL.
  • Cloud expertise (AWS preferred).
  • Comfort with monitoring tools like Grafana or Prometheus.
  • Exposure to systems at scale (1M+ users a plus).
  • Strong problem-solving instincts and drive for quality.
  • Ability to mentor and lead within Agile environments.


Desirable extras: Kubernetes, React, event sourcing/CQRS, big data tools (Flink, NiFi), Terraform, or iGaming experience.



Why This Role Matters


  • Work 100% remotely while staying connected globally.
  • Engineer high-performance systems serving millions of players.
  • Step into professional growth in a fast-moving, international setting.
  • Join a culture built on collaboration, inclusivity, and knowledge-sharing.
  • Freedom to experiment, innovate, and solve real-world challenges.


This isn’t just a senior title.

It’s a chance to leave your mark on a platform designed to perform at scale and built to last.
