Job description
- 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;

- Participate in code reviews, technical decisions, and architecture discussions across the backend., * Proven experience designing and maintaining external integrations (REST/HTTP, XML/SOAP, RPC-style, or webhook-based)

- 3-5+ years of backend development experience with Node.js + TypeScript, including ownership of non-trivial systems, * Solid understanding of modular, service-oriented backend architecture, ideally from enterprise or scale-up environments;

- 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.
