Senior Software Engineer (Game Engine)

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential iGaming technology organization in their search for a Senior Software Engineer to join a newly forming team focused on game engine architecture and mathematical validation systems.

This is a specialized role at the intersection of engineering, game mathematics, platform architecture, and regulatory compliance. You'll own the tools, frameworks, and services that enable game teams to build, validate, run, and monitor game logic in production environments.

This position offers deep ownership of a business-critical technical domain where precision matters. You'll work on game engines, mathematical packages, simulation data, RTP monitoring, round details, and integrations with both internal and external game studios. The impact is direct—your work affects game delivery timelines, business performance, and regulatory readiness.

Responsibilities

• Own, maintain, and evolve the game engine domain, including internal frameworks and libraries used by mathematicians to implement game logic and mathematical packages
• Review and validate code written by mathematicians, ensuring quality, correctness, maintainability, and proper framework usage
• Contribute to development and support of game engines that run mathematical logic within the platform
• Support integrations with external game studios by building wrappers and bridges between third-party implementations and the platform
• Work with data structures and protocols connecting game logic with frontend and backend systems
• Contribute to RTP monitoring processes, including validation of production transaction data against simulation data and expected mathematical behavior
• Support and evolve tools for mathematical review, simulations, data files, monitoring, and alerting
• Implement and maintain round details logic required for regulated markets
• Collaborate with mathematicians, backend engineers, platform teams, compliance stakeholders, and product representatives
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to maintain high engineering standards
• Investigate issues related to game logic, mathematical validation, monitoring, and engine behavior
• Participate in minimal on-call responsibilities for domain-specific monitoring and incidents

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Strong software engineering experience, ideally in backend, game engine, gaming, gambling, betting, or simulation-heavy environments
• Solid experience with Node.js/TypeScript, or strong expertise in another OOP language such as C++, Java, C#, Go, or Python
• Good understanding of software architecture, code quality, testing, debugging, and maintainability
• Experience reviewing complex code and providing clear technical feedback
• Ability to understand domain-specific logic where business rules, mathematics, and engineering intersect
• Strong problem-solving skills for complex, non-standard technical challenges
• Experience with production systems where reliability, accuracy, and correctness are critical
• Understanding of backend systems, APIs, data flows, and service-to-service communication
• Ability to collaborate with non-engineering technical experts, especially mathematicians or domain specialists
• Strong ownership mindset and willingness to become a key expert in a narrow but critical technical domain
• Product-oriented thinking with understanding that engineering decisions directly affect delivery, quality, and compliance
• English communication skills for international collaboration

Nice to Have:

• Experience in iGaming, gambling, betting, game development, or casino games
• Experience with game engines, mathematical engines, simulation tools, or game logic frameworks
• Background in C++ or experience with legacy C++ systems
• Experience with mathematical models, probability-based systems, simulations, random generators, or RTP-related logic
• Understanding of regulated markets and compliance requirements in iGaming
• Experience with ClickHouse or other analytical/columnar databases
• Experience with monitoring, alerting, and production diagnostics
• Experience with AI-assisted code review or automated validation tools
• Knowledge of microservices architecture and distributed systems
• Familiarity with Kafka, gRPC, Kubernetes, or AWS
• Experience integrating third-party games or external studio products
• Ukrainian language skills
