Want to be part of technology that powers a fast-moving gaming environment? This is your opportunity to build on your existing backend engineering experience while working on systems used every day across the business. You'll join an experienced team, contribute to meaningful technology outcomes, and continue developing your expertise in modern software engineering practices.

This role is suited to an early-career engineer who already has 1.5 to 2 years of hands-on commercial experience developing backend applications with Node.js and TypeScript and is ready to take the next step in their career.

How you'll be part of the action

Reporting to the Software Engineering Lead, you'll help build and support backend technology that keeps critical gaming platforms running smoothly. Working alongside experienced engineers, you'll contribute to both system reliability and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Contribute to modern engineering and automation practices

What you'll need to succeed

You enjoy solving problems, learning quickly and working in a collaborative environment. We'd love to hear from you if you bring a strong backend foundation, proven commercial experience with Node.js, and a genuine appetite for growth.

• Minimum 1.5 to 2 years of hands-on commercial experience developing backend applications using Node.js and TypeScript
• Proven experience building, supporting and troubleshooting production APIs and backend services in a commercial environment
• Strong capability troubleshooting complex technical issues
• Ability to manage changing priorities and competing demands
