Job description

About us
We are a product R&D company that creates solutions for the dynamic iGaming Ecosystem.
Our mission is to build cutting-edge platforms that reinvent the iGaming industry.

About the team

We are a focused engineering team of 5 to 9 people at a multi-product tech SaaS company. We work across personalization, recommendation, fraud detection, and some GenAI, through real-time, near-real-time, and batch
pipelines. The team is a blend of Python backend engineers, ML engineers, QA (manual and automation), a data engineer, and data scientists. Our shared mandate is to take experimentation from our data scientists and turn it into
robust, production-grade systems, either as standalone services or integrated into wider platforms.


The role

You will write production backend code from day one, with strong senior engineers and a hands-on engineering manager to learn from. You will contribute to real systems such as fraud detection, recommendations, and personalization, building Python services, APIs, and background workers, and picking up the data side hands-on. This is a growth role: we are looking for strong fundamentals and drive, and we will invest in developing you.

 Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain Python services, REST APIs, and background workers
  • Work with data pipelines, stream consumers, and database and cache layers
  • Write tests and contribute to code quality and reviews
  • Learn the stack hands-on, with mentorship
  • Take part in the team's on-call rotation as you ramp up, with support
  • Collaborate with senior engineers to ship reliable features

 
Requirements

  • 1 to 3 years of Python backend experience (strong internships or projects count)
  • Solid Python fundamentals and eagerness to go deep
  • Basic SQL and a working understanding of REST APIs
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn fast
  • Good problem-solving and communication


Nice to have

  • FastAPI
  • Async programming
  • Exposure to Redis or Kafka
  • Docker
  • Any data engineering or ML exposure
  • SaaS or high-scale product domain experience


Why join us

  • Work on high-scale, high-throughput backend systems
  • Broad range of technologies, stacks, and problems
  • Take experimentation from data scientists and turn it into production systems
  • A strong engineering culture that values technical depth and ownership
  • A distributed team across Dubai and Europe


You will get:

  • Work in a technically strong environment with modern stack and mature Agile culture;
  • High autonomy, decision-making authority, and close cooperation with leadership;
  • A position in a product development company with a dynamic environment and several concurrent projects;
  • Opportunity to contribute (your ideas for improvement implementation);
  • Continuous self-improvement and growth, including budget for certifications and courses;
  • Competitive salary plus annual bonus, based on individual, team, and company performance;
  • Company prepaid AI agent;
  • Medical insurance coverage;
  • English language courses;
  • Wellbeing package: online-yoga classes, Yakaboo, BetterMe App: Health Coaching, BetterMe App: Mental Health;
  • Corporate events and fun team-building activities;
  • Remote-first culture (with a possibility to work from our Kyiv office)

Interview Stages:

  1. HR Interview (30 minutes) — Initial conversation to discuss your experience, career goals, and cultural fit.
  2. Technical Interview (1 hour) — In-depth technical interview covering relevant skills.
  3. Final Interview (45 minutes) — A comprehensive discussion with the hiring manager, focusing on role-specific competencies and alignment with company values.
  4. Reference Check & Job Offer
