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
