Lead Backend Developer - iGaming
Cardiff | Remote/Hybrid
£80k

In this role, you'll be the one turning bold game ideas into rock-solid backend systems, architecting and developing in C#, with a bit of C++ in your toolkit when needed and you'll take creative concepts, breathe life into them through smart algorithms and scalable code, helping to shape the technical backbone of games.

It's not just about building though...you'll also be guiding others, mentoring junior devs, and setting the standard for technical excellence. Working closely with designers, frontend engineers, and producers, you'll ensure features land smoothly and perform brilliantly. Whether it's designing for performance, weaving in randomness, or solving deep systems challenges, your mathematical mindset will be key to making it all work beautifully.

The ideal candidate will have been in the thick of it...building backend systems that don't just work, but perform under pressure. Maybe it was in games, maybe another high demand environment, but either way, you know what it takes to write clean, efficient, maintainable code that scales.

Maths and logic come naturally to you... you enjoy cracking problems that others shy away from, whether it's fine-tuning an algorithm or designing a system that just makes sense.

Along the way, you've led teams, mentored others, and earned trust not just through what you build, but how you communicate and solve problems.
