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

• 
  

  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.

  
  


• 
  

  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.
