About the Team

As part of the Accounts team, you will be working with a group of talented and friendly individuals. Our goal is to deliver and maintain the performant, resilient, accurate, best-in-class software platform to drive player registration and authentication, identity verification (KYC), fraud and AML checks, geolocation compliance, responsible gaming enforcement, regulatory enforcement, and player communications (push, email, SMS) that is at the core of everything we do as a company. As a result, our stakeholders span the entire range of the business, and we must support them with whatever they are required to deliver without sacrificing the quality and performance we strive to maintain. This will include building a lot of cross-service integrations, with internal and external stakeholders. We are also hyper-vigilant about software performance, resilience, reliability, and accuracy, constantly tracking risks and regressions on all fronts, and proposing improvements where opportunities exist. The systems we own are among the most business-critical at the company: every player signup, login, identity check, and responsible gaming decision runs through them, and getting them right is a regulatory obligation, not just an engineering goal.

About the Work

• Design, scale, and performance-tune REST APIs, low-latency gRPC services, and SQL queries powering player registration and authentication (OAuth2, MFA, biometrics), identity verification, fraud and AML screening, geolocation compliance, responsible gaming and self-exclusion enforcement, regulatory reporting, and player notifications, among other things.

• Own technical problems of the highest scope and complexity, drafting proposals and presenting them to leadership and partner teams for feedback

• Design, architect, and deliver new features end-to-end in a collaborative agile/scrum environment

• Identify bottlenecks and areas of risk in production, and drive the changes that make the platform more scalable

• Set up and refine monitoring and alerting in Datadog for the systems you own

• Mentor engineers on the team and across teams that ship into our codebase, through specs, pairing, and code review

• Interact with multiple stakeholders across a wide variety of business domains to deliver best in class products, operational improvements, and cost efficiency optimizations.

• Be comfortable with bridging the gap between internal, third party (identity verification, fraud, geolocation, and messaging vendors), legacy, and modern systems; and excel at doing what this entails, including, data migrations, intermediate data translation, the building and stewardship of additional supporting infrastructure as required, etc.

• Other duties as required.

• Experience with building authentication, identity, or other regulated systems with strong security and auditability is paramount.

• Strong understanding of authentication and authorization standards (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, JWT, MFA) and secure handling of PII.

• Experience integrating third-party KYC, fraud, geolocation, or messaging providers (e.g., push, email, SMS) is an asset.
