Senior Software Engineer (Backend) – Python | High-Growth Sportsbook & Casino Platform
UK Remote | £90,000–£110,000 + benefits
Python, AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Distributed Systems
Senior Software Engineer - We're working with a fast-growing technology business in the sports betting and gaming industry. They've built their own sportsbook and casino platform from the ground up and are continuing to scale their product, customer base and engineering team.
The Senior Software Engineer
You'll join a product-focused engineering team building the backend systems that power a high-traffic, customer-facing platform.
Working primarily with Python and AWS, you'll tackle interesting challenges across distributed systems, scalability and event-driven architecture. The business is also moving away from a large monolith towards a more distributed architecture, giving you genuine ownership over how the platform evolves.
What will you be doing?
- Building scalable backend services and APIs using Python and AWS.
- Evolving a monolithic architecture towards distributed, event-driven systems.
- Owning complex engineering problems from design through to production.
- Working closely with Product and Design to deliver customer-facing features.
- Improving system reliability, performance and engineering quality.
What will you bring?
- 5+ years' commercial software engineering experience.
- Strong backend development skills, ideally Python.
- Experience building APIs and distributed systems.
- Good understanding of cloud infrastructure, databases and messaging systems.
- Strong product mindset and end-to-end ownership.
- An interest in using AI tools and agentic workflows to improve engineering productivity.
Experience with AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker or observability tooling would be advantageous.
Why This Opportunity?
Join a growing technology business where engineering is central to the product. You'll work on a platform built in-house, rather than maintaining third-party technology, with real opportunities to influence architecture, technical direction and the customer experience.
For a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys building products, solving challenging backend problems and having genuine ownership, this is a great opportunity.
