THE SCOPE
With 30 years of history, today Gaming1 is one of the international leaders in both land-based and online games of chance (casino games, sports betting and poker). Its evolution at the heart of innovation is accompanied by a diversification and specialization of positions, with the creation of new cutting-edge jobs. As part of its sustained growth, Gaming1 is looking for a Backend Engineer to join its product engineering team.
A Backend Engineer at Gaming1 maximizes customer and business value through high-quality, user-centric product experiences.
Engineers operate within small, autonomous product engineering teams in a high-traffic, regulated environment, where decisions directly impact platform stability, customer trust, compliance, and time-to-market.
Because teams are intentionally small and product-oriented, Engineers are expected to be wide in their skillset, flexible in scope, and comfortable collaborating across disciplines. Backend work is not always isolated from product, operational, or cross-team concerns — success comes from end-to-end ownership and shared accountability, not role silos.
This role is part of a broader Product Engineering culture focused on autonomy, short feedback loops, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
YOUR ROLE
As a Backend Engineer, your mission is to design, build, and evolve backend solutions that power customer experiences and business capabilities in a reliable and sustainable way.
You do this by:
owning solutions across their lifecycle — from design and implementation to release, monitoring, and iterative improvement,
collaborating closely with Product Managers, Frontend Engineers, and other stakeholders,
applying strong backend craftsmanship while keeping product impact, reliability, and compliance front of mind,
continuously improving systems, practices, tooling, and ways of working.
Your autonomy, scope, and influence are driven by your career ladder level, not by the job title alone.
YOUR PROFILE
Experience as a Backend Engineer in product-oriented environments, ideally at scale and/or in regulated contexts
Strong backend fundamentals: API design, data modeling, testing, performance, resilience and operability
Hands-on experience with .NET (C#) and backend services, including event-driven architectures (e.g. RabbitMQ, NServiceBus)
Solid experience with relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, and production systems
Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS) and services such as S3
Ability to own solutions end-to-end, from design to production and continuous improvement
Product-minded, collaborative, and comfortable working in small, autonomous, cross-functional teams
Strong sense of ownership, pragmatism, and continuous learning mindset
