Backend Developer (Node.js)

About this role

We're looking for a Middle+/Senior Backend Developer - first and foremost a strong, well-rounded backend engineer. The role splits roughly 70/30: 70% designing and maintaining our external integrations (casino operators and partner platforms), 30% general backend/platform work and system design.

Requirements

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain integrations with casino operators and partner platforms (wallet/transaction APIs, game launch, and reporting contracts), owning the full lifecycle from contract design to production monitoring
• Build resilient integration layers: retries, idempotency, timeouts, error mapping, and graceful degradation when a third party misbehaves
• Contribute to core backend services and platform features - APIs, messaging flows, data models, shared modules
• Take part in slot game development on our game logic platform - implementing game mechanics and mathematics alongside the core team
• Define and improve integration testing practices: contract testing, mocking/stubs, e2e, and stress/load testing
• Work closely with Game Logic, Product, and DevOps teams to keep integration contracts stable as the platform evolves
• Participate in code reviews, technical decisions, and architecture discussions across the backend.
• What you bring
• 3-5+ years of backend development experience with Node.js + TypeScript, including ownership of non-trivial systems
• Proven experience designing and maintaining external integrations (REST/HTTP, XML/SOAP, RPC-style, or webhook-based)
• Solid understanding of modular, service-oriented backend architecture, ideally from enterprise or scale-up environments
• Practical experience with message brokers (RabbitMQ or Kafka) and event-driven, queue-based design
• Strong grasp of integration testing approaches: contract testing, mocking, e2e, and stress testing
• Confident with PostgreSQL and Redis, CI/CD, Git, and monitoring/observability tools (Grafana, Loki, Tempo)
• Comfortable with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes for containerized deployments.

Nice to have

• Experience in iGaming, gambling platforms, or RNG/game provider integrations
• Familiarity with ArgoCD and GitOps workflows.

Benefits

• 21 vacation days + 2 extra day-offs annually
• 12 paid sick days
• Fully remote format - work from anywhere you feel productive
• Flexible schedule: start your day anytime between 08:00-11:00 CET
• Fixed budget for health insurance and gym/fitness
• Provided all required work equipment
• Zero bureaucracy and direct communication with founders and C-level
• Minimal meetings, async-friendly workflow
• Startup energy: fast motion, creativity, and tight-knit communication
• Business trips and team meetups several times per year
• Multiple salary payout options (flexible formats)
• …And many more perks unlocked after we hit break-even.
