This role offers the opportunity to build and lead an internal backend engineering team responsible for the long-term ownership of a high-performance platform. You will combine hands-on technical leadership with team building, mentoring, architecture, and delivery ownership. A major focus will be leading the migration from a legacy environment toward a modern, scalable, and internally managed architecture. You will work closely with software architecture and engineering leadership to translate technical strategy into reliable production systems. The role requires deep expertise in PHP and Laravel, alongside strong knowledge of databases, APIs, infrastructure, distributed systems, and observability. You will play a critical role in ensuring high availability, security, resilience, and performance across global gaming systems.
