Staff Senior Software Engineer
The Gaming Integrations team is at an inflection point. They operate approximately 26 provider integrations across three runtimes and are the critical path for Superbet entering new markets. This role is a key part of their capacity plan. The successful candidate will join a small but high-impact team and immediately contribute to real challenges: rebuilding their game platform into a scalable, multi-studio platform, and accelerating integration delivery so Superbet launches in new countries faster.
What You'll Be Working On:
Elixir platform migration: Contributing to the migration of Node.js/Erlang integrations to the new Elixir-based platform. Feature parity across runtimes is a blocker for many localisations today.
Game Studio Integrations: Owning the full lifecycle of new provider integrations (launchUrl, authenticate, balance, debit, credit, void) from implementation through production sign-off.
Platform architecture: Implementing CI/CD pipelines, shared services, and the modular architecture needed to support multiple exclusive gaming studios at scale.
Operational excellence: Keeping KTLO (keeping the lights on) under 10% of team capacity while maintaining high availability across all 26+ live integrations.
