We are representing a confidential gaming technology organization seeking a Software Engineer to join their Trust & Safety team in Edinburgh. This is a hybrid role requiring two days per week in the Edinburgh office, offering the opportunity to build systems that protect users and maintain platform integrity at scale.

You'll work within a multidisciplinary team building reliable, engaging products for millions of users. This role offers hands-on engineering experience, opportunities for growth, and the chance to contribute to meaningful safety and compliance initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain React-based Responsible Gaming tools and user-facing interfaces
• Write clear, maintainable backend code using Java, building APIs and services that process high volumes of signals, events, and enforcement actions
• Develop and improve APIs, services, and database-backed functionality that handle high volumes of traffic reliably and at scale
• Contribute to well-scoped features, fixes, and improvements across the full stack with support from experienced engineers
• Test changes carefully and identify ways to make services more reliable, observable, and easier to support
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, planning sessions, and team ceremonies
• Investigate bugs and support issues, working with the team to understand root causes and make practical improvements
• Learn about scaling systems, databases, caching, and cloud infrastructure through hands-on work
• Maintain documentation so others can understand how services and tools work
• Collaborate with engineers, product partners, operations, and compliance stakeholders to deliver platform improvements

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience with React or a similar component-based frontend framework
• Understanding of Java or a similar object-oriented language, with interest in developing backend services and APIs
• Familiarity with databases and SQL, with interest in data modelling, performance, and scaling
• Awareness of common data structures, algorithms, and software design principles
• Interest in platform integrity, trust & safety, fraud detection, or compliance systems is a plus
• Interest in distributed systems, reliability, monitoring, and how high-traffic systems operate in production
• Familiarity with cloud technologies, containers, or CI/CD is helpful but not required
• Understanding of testing basics and willingness to write tests as part of everyday development
• Comfortable working in a team environment, asking questions, receiving feedback, and learning from others
• Practical approach to problem solving with a desire to leave code and documentation clearer than you found it
• Enthusiasm for working on systems that protect customers and keep platforms fair and safe at scale
