Join our Gaming Team!
You’ll be developing some of the world’s leading player-focused casino games. From inception to design and architecture, your team will own the process and deliver real excellence for our clients. The fun doesn’t stop there. We’re continuously evolving with challenging initiatives like Kubernetes standardization, continuous delivery and Microservices architecture so every iteration provides (the opportunity for) a fresh approach or improved way of working. Our focus on autonomy puts you in the driver’s seat as our trusted expert, and you’ll enjoy collaborating with the entire team to make our products and services the best they can be, every single day.
What technologies will you be working with?
Our Games software engineers get involved in the whole end to end game lifecycle delivery.

You will work in collaboration within our Games Teams and are keen on learning and working together to deliver the best games possible.
