Job Description

Senior PHP, Laravel & Node Backend Engineer
Remote
£12-15k per month (150-180k per annum)

Applicants must come from a Gambling/Casino, Crypto OR iGaming background.

We’re looking for a strong senior backend engineer to join and help build highly-scalable products. 

Our backend is mainly in PHP/Laravel with some Node.js micro services. You need to be exceptional in problem solving, used known design patterns and you’re highly independent. 
You have to assume there’s no handholding apart from onboarding and you’re able to figure things out without constant help from others. You need to know how concurrent apps work inside out. You should not expect to get requirements in a silver platter but instead assume that you have to take initiative and have a product oriented mindset. 

If you mainly like working on a corporate setup where you do your tasks and don’t have to worry about anything else this is probably not for you. 

Every feature done needs to be thoroughly thought out in terms of performance, scalability and security POV. You should be very comfortable working with principles like DRY, KISS, YAGNI and SOLID.

Tech stack:
PHP/Laravel framework
Node.js
MySQL
Redis
Docker
Vue (desirable)


By applying for this role, you consent to SGI contacting you by telephone regarding recruitment services, market updates, and relevant business opportunities

We believe in equal opportunity for all and actively encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
