We’re the technology powerhouse helping Entain - a world leader in sports and gaming - create products and experiences used by millions of customers across the globe.\nYou’ll thrive here, whether you’re a product owner who wants to deliver original concepts, an engineer who’s determined to build high-performance platforms, or a customer care professional who will personalise our service every step of the way. Our unrivalled energy, innovative insights and exceptional work environments will activate your full potential. Join us to unlock a world of new possibilities - for you and the future of sports and gaming.\n As an SDE III, you'll bring your engineering depth into a new way of working. You won't just write code - you'll specify, orchestrate, validate, and ship with AI as your primary collaborator. You'll work in a small, mission-driven cross-functional team called a pod - three functions (Product, Engineer, Quality) with high agency, shared ownership, and no hand-offs.\nReporting to the Tech Lead, you'll join the Product & Technology Team. Are you ready to be part of a team that's redefining how software gets built in an AI Native setup?\nWhat You Will Do\nDeliver against the pod's mission - own the full software delivery lifecycle including quality, from design through production and measurement.\nOperate in continuous flow (Kanban) - pull work, respect WIP limits, ship daily.\nUse AI agents as your primary delivery mechanism - code generation, testing, spec writing, deployment.\nDesign, build, and debug software across backend and frontend with distributed systems awareness.\nEvaluate and tune agent workflows - steering docs, prompts, rules, skills. You improve the tools you use.\nWrite clean, well-tested code and take ownership of quality end-to-end.\nAct as the initial on-call responder, ensuring health and stability of deployed applications.\nMentor junior developers and contribute to shared tooling, knowledge bases, and the agent foundation kit.\nEngineering Mindset - What We Look For\nWe assess every candidate across six core dimensions:\nAI Fluency: AI is the primary way we engineer. Prompt, evaluate, and iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice, not the default.\nCross-Functional Versatility: \"That's not my area\" doesn't exist. Contribute beyond your discipline, share knowledge openly, and communicate clearly across different formats.\nCustomer and Value Awareness: Ask \"why\" and \"for whom\" before \"how.\" Understand the bigger business context while still being able to zoom in and trace a bug. Map dependencies before you build.\nCraft: Apply SOLID principles, DRY, separation of concerns, and observability by default. Write clean, maintainable code with the right level of testing. Treat CI/CD as standard engineering practice, whether the code is written by a human or an AI agent.\nTechnical Curiosity: Build a prototype, experiment, and try to break it before relying solely on documentation. Stay curious about how things work and continuously explore better approaches.\n Agency & Entrepreneurship: Don't wait for permission. Take ownership of outcomes end-to-end, enable others to succeed, challenge the status quo, and proactively look for ways to create value.\n Essential:\n8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of delivering complex features end-to-end.\nExpert - Java / Backend Engineering: Expert-level Java / Spring Boot; distributed systems, data structures, API design, and cloud computing.\nExpert - APIs / Web Service Integration: Connecting software systems through well-defined interfaces for seamless communication and data exchange.\nAdvanced - Microservices / SOA: Composing applications from small, independent, loosely coupled services communicating via APIs.\nAdvanced - Agile Development: Iterative, flexible development emphasizing collaboration, adaptability, and customer feedback.\nAdvanced - Continuous Integration / Deployment: Automatically testing each change early, then promoting to staging or production - increasingly with AI eval gates.\nAdvanced - Software Development Lifecycle: Systematic planning, designing, coding, testing, deploying, and maintaining - spec-driven and agent-assisted.\nAdvanced - AI / Machine Learning: AI-assisted development as a default mechanism; hands-on with agent systems, MCP/tool protocols, RAG, and evaluation/observability of AI outputs.\nAdvanced - Algorithms: Computation, data processing, and automated reasoning; sound complexity judgment.\nAdvanced - Cloud Computing: Designing, deploying, and operating on cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) with containers and observability.\nAdvanced - IT Security Management: Secure coding in a regulated environment, including awareness of AI-specific risks (prompt injection, data exposure).\nAdvanced - Requirements Gathering: Translating user expectations into technical scope and non-functional requirements.\nIntermediate - Project / Programme Management: Planning, organizing, and sequencing work within a team to deliver predictably within scope.\nIntermediate - Technology Strategy: Aligning the team's technical decisions to business goals and identifying where AI adds the most value.\nDesired:\nStrong Angular (or modern SPA) skills to design contracts, review frontend work, and debug full-stack - good to have, not required.\nSome experience working within a betting and gaming company.\nDeeper experience architecting AI-augmented or multi-agent systems (RAG, model routing, fallbacks); Oracle SQL/PL-SQL; familiarity with Druid, MongoDB, or MySQL.\nStakeholder engagement: Builds effective working relationships.\nCollaboration: Communicates effectively with a positive impact.\nBuilds capability: Invests in developing oneself and others.\nAnalytical thinking: Thinks critically, providing well-reasoned insights through a commercial lens.\nSets direction: Contributes to a clear direction for the business.\nAgility: Quickly adapts and remains flexible while managing risks.\nDrives performance: Continually raises the bar for oneself and others.\nActs with integrity: Takes ownership and does the right thing.\nDelivers results: Plans for success and gets the job done.\n We know that signing top players requires a great starting package, and plenty of support to inspire peak performance. Join us, and a competitive salary is just the beginning.\nDepending on your role and location, you can expect to receive benefits like:\nSafe home pickup and home drop\nGroup Mediclaim policy\nGroup Critical Illness policy\nCommunication & Relocation allowance\nAnnual Health check\nAnd outside of this, you'll have the chance to turn recognition from leaders and colleagues into amazing prizes. Join a winning team of talented people and be a part of an inclusive and supporting community where everyone is celebrated for being themselves.\nAt Entain India, we do what's right. It's one of our core values and that's why we're taking the lead when it comes to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive future - for our people, and the wider global sports betting and gaming sector.
