Design and build scalable backend services, APIs, and third-party integrations while managing high-throughput data models and collaborating with cross-functional teams. | At least 5 years of professional backend engineering experience, proficiency in modern programming languages, strong SQL and cloud infrastructure skills, and ability to work autonomously in a remote environment. | BACKEND ENGINEER (PLATFORM / INFRA) — HIGH-GROWTH GAMING STARTUP - MID TO SENIOR LEVEL ROLE Location: Remote (US-based, must be available for 9:30am ET standup) Compensation: $145,000–$160,000 base + equity Experience Level: 5+ years professional experience required ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed gaming startup operating at the intersection of real-money gaming and the creator economy. With a core product already in market and generating significant revenue, they're expanding their engineering team to meet demand and build out the next generation of features. This is a high-stakes, high-impact opportunity to work on a social casino product used by thousands of players around the clock. The founding team is composed of seasoned entrepreneurs and engineers with backgrounds in crypto, gaming, and consumer tech — and they’re backed by top-tier investors. THE ROLE This is not your average backend engineering role. You’ll join a small, elite team building infrastructure that must perform at scale and handle real-money transactions with zero room for error. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic builder who enjoys solving hard backend problems, thrives in high-trust environments, and wants to own critical parts of a fast-moving system. You’ll work across a variety of areas — from scaling APIs and architecting new features to integrating gaming vendors and optimizing database performance. No red tape, just great engineering and high-impact work. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Design and build backend services, APIs, and integrations with third-party vendors. * Tackle high-throughput challenges related to concurrency, state, and scale. * Collaborate with frontend engineers and DevOps to deliver end-to-end product features. * Write performant, raw SQL queries (no ORMs used here) and reason deeply about data models. * Help shape the technical direction of the product and infrastructure. * Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions. * Work remotely with autonomy — only one required daily meeting (9:30am ET standup). WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR * 5+ years of backend engineering experience. * Proficiency in any modern backend language (e.g., TypeScript, Go, Java, Python, Rust). * Solid experience with SQL and relational databases — you should be comfortable writing raw queries and understanding database internals. * Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and fundamentals of networking, caching, and scaling systems under heavy load. * Strong grasp of API design, web protocols (HTTP, REST), and common web security standards (JWT, cookies, etc.). * Git/GitHub fluency and confidence working in a terminal-based dev environment. * Self-starter mindset — you don’t need handholding to make progress. BONUS POINTS FOR * Experience with: TypeScript, Postgres, Redis, AWS, Kubernetes. * Background in real-money gaming, gambling, or crypto (especially at product-focused companies like Coinbase, Kraken, etc.). * Degree in Computer Science, Math, or a related field — or equivalent experience backed by strong signals (e.g. brand-name startups, standout technical interviews). WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING * Remote-first and flexible. The team cares about outcomes, not hours — as long as you're present for the one required meeting each day. * Greenfield opportunities. There’s room to shape architecture, tooling, and process from the ground up. * Top-tier backers + market traction. The company is operating in one of the most profitable industries on earth — and they’re already live with real users and revenue. * Founding-team quality. You’ll work with some of the most capable operators in the space, all with prior startup successes under their belts. INTERVIEW PROCESS * Step 1: 45-minute technical deep-dive with the hiring manager. * Step 2: Paired coding session via CoderPad. * Step 3: 30-minute call with leadership. * That’s it. No take-homes, no hoops. Note: This role is only open to candidates based in the U.S. at this time. Sponsorship is not available. Must be available for standup at 9:30 AM EST.
