Full Description

Build the Future of AI-Driven Digital Platforms Arena is building a new generation of AI-first digital entertainment platforms. Since 2021 we’ve launched multiple brands including MetaWin, WOW Vegas, BetZoo Media, Hit.com and Rolla, with more in development. Our platforms combine high-scale systems, immersive user experiences, and modern AI infrastructure. We operate globally with teams across London, Gibraltar & Miami Unlike many companies, we aren’t constrained by legacy systems. We design and build AI-first platforms from the ground up, using modern infrastructure, distributed systems, and emerging AI tooling to move faster and build better products. We’re looking for engineers who want to build real systems, deploy AI in production, and ship fast. The Role We’re enhancing our core development team with new opportunities for Applied AI Engineers / Forward Deployed Engineers. This team will work directly on the frontline of engineering and AI deployment, embedding AI capabilities into the core of our platforms. This is not a research role and not a corporate engineering job. You will: Design systems Build prototypes Deploy AI into production Work directly with product and engineering teams Ship software at high velocity You will help define how AI is / could be used across our portfolio of products. What You'll Work On Building AI-powered product features Developing LLM-powered systems and internal tooling Deploying AI agents, workflows, and automation Integrating multiple model providers and AI infrastructure Building backend services that support AI-driven applications Rapid prototyping and shipping new ideas into production Improving developer productivity with AI-native engineering workflows We value engineers who are comfortable moving from concept → prototype → production quickly. AI Tooling We’re Exploring We actively experiment with modern AI engineering ecosystems, including: AI Engineering Tools Claude Code Codex OpenRouter OpenCode OpenClaw Models Kimi Qwen Frontier and open-source LLMs Experience with multi-model orchestration and applied AI systems is particularly valuable. What We’re Looking For You are likely someone who: Has a strong software engineering foundation Builds things outside of work Has already experimented with LLM tooling or AI developer workflows Is comfortable working across backend systems and APIs Likes moving fast and shipping real software Is excited about the practical application of AI in production systems We care far more about what you’ve built than where you’ve worked. This Role Is Probably NOT For You If You prefer slow-moving corporate environments You want highly structured roles and rigid process You are primarily interested in AI research rather than shipping products Why Arena AI-first engineering culture Build products used by millions of users Work with a small, highly capable team Freedom to experiment with new AI tooling and models Opportunity to shape how AI is deployed across a global product ecosystem If you're an engineer who enjoys building quickly, experimenting with AI, and shipping real systems we want to hear from you.
