We are seeking a pragmatic Software Architect who thrives on complex technical challenges. You are here to own a legacy casino platform, master its internal logic, and take full control of the infrastructure whilst supporting with hiring the in-house backend team.

- Lead the transition to an in-house infrastructure, driving the transformation into a unified, high-performance codebase.
- Design and evolve scalable architectures for sportsbook, casino, and game studios built to handle massive traffic spikes and real-time data pipelines.
- Act as the technical decision-maker by defining service boundaries, establishing API contracts, and leading Proof of Concepts (POCs).
- Expand your scope by contributing to the architectural vision of other exciting initiatives, including proprietary internal tools.
- Assist in hiring top-tier backend engineers while maintaining your primary focus on high-level architecture.

What You Bring

- At least 2–3 years as an Architect and 8+ years building high-volume, high-availability distributed systems.
- Strong backend engineering with specific experience in PHP/Laravel to handle the legacy transition.
- Proven experience designing the architecture for iGaming, fintech, e-commerce, or other similar platforms.
- Mastery of AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Terragrunt).
- Ability to lead through technical authority as a hands-on, problem solver.
- Flexibility to travel to Malta once a quarter in case you are in some other European country.

Big Plus If You Also Bring

- Experience in iGaming, Sportsbook, or Fintech (Wallets, Odds, or Bonus engines).
- Knowledge of PCI-DSS or gaming regulatory standards.
- Experience with multi-region cloud deployments.
