Job description

  • Design, evolve, and maintain core libraries, framework extensions, and shared components used across all engineering teams
  • Take ownership of system performance, scalability, and high-load architecture, ensuring core services can handle massive throughput with low latency
  • Proactively monitor production behavior, investigate complex application/database performance bottlenecks, and introduce advanced metrics, dashboards, and alerting systems
  • Establish and advocate for best practices in concurrency, memory management, and resource utilization across the backend ecosystem
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including backend, web, mobile, QA, and product teams
  • Take ownership of specific functional areas within our large-scale architecture
  • Leverage AI tools and assistants as integral parts of your development workflow-from system design to code review
  • Contribute to maintaining high test coverage, predictable production behavior, and seamless scalability
  • Drive engineering excellence through modern practices and continuous improvement

Requirements

  • Deep, low-level understanding of Java internals (JVM, GC behavior, memory management, concurrency/multithreading, and performance profiling)
  • Advanced knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL), including query optimization, indexing strategies, locking mechanisms, and connection pooling under heavy load and distributed systems architecture, specifically high-throughput event streaming with Kafka (partitioning, replication, consumer group rebalancing, and tuning).
  • Strong system design, troubleshooting and debugging capabilities
  • Comfortable and proactive in using AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) as productivity multipliers
  • Practical experience validating, refining, and taking ownership of AI-generated output
  • Upper-intermediate or higher level of English

Nice To Have

  • Proven track record of building or maintaining shared libraries, SDKs, or internal tooling in a large-scale engineering organization.
  • Hands-on experience with APM tools and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) with the ability to define meaningful SLOs/SLIs, custom metrics, and proactive alerts.

About the company

We are B2Spin, and we are dedicated to delivering the best Free-to-Play Social Casino and gaming experiences by creating captivating, engaging, and unique products that are accessible to everyone. We have built a team of talented professionals from all over the globe, who are working to continually improve the experiences of our players.

AI-Driven Engineering Culture

We are actively building an AI-driven engineering organization with a clear and deliberate stance: artificial intelligence is a core part of how we build and deliver software - not an experiment, not a trend, and not an optional add-on.

AI is embedded into our engineering workflows, from system design and prototyping to refactoring, testing, and code review. We expect engineers to be fully comfortable working in AI-driven environments and to treat AI as a primary productivity multiplier. Strong engineering judgment, architectural ownership, and accountability remain essential-AI amplifies our engineers, it doesn’t replace responsibility for technical decisions.
