Playtech‘sIMS Data Delivery Team is looking for a skilled Software Engineer with strong technical expertise and problem-solving abilities.
Your influential mission. You will...
- Design, build, test, debug, and operate reliable features in Java, Vue, and other stacks when the product requires it
- Work on information systems and integrations - APIs, messaging, data consistency - with clear ownership of failure modes and production behaviour
- Use approved AI-assisted development to move faster; define, review, and validate what you merge (same bar as hand-written code)
- Contribute to automated testing, code review, and documentation that outlive a single chat session
- Extend and improve existing codebases, not only greenfield demos
- Collaborate in agile delivery with your lead, product, and peers; take ownership of your areas; help improve team practices safely
Components for success. You...
- Have professional experience building backend or full-stack software in a commercial or product team.
- Show solid software fundamentals that you can explain, including runtime behaviour, relational databases and SQL, debugging with evidence, applied data structures, and complexity awareness (appropriate collections, performance intuition, not puzzle-interview trivia).
- Demonstrate information systems thinking, including source of truth, concurrent updates, integration partial failure, and idempotency where relevant.
- Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, and contribute meaningfully to code reviews.
- Demonstrate a willingness to learn on the job, including Spring/Vue conventions, Kafka and internal platforms, new frameworks, and approved AI tooling and workflows.
- Take ownership of assigned areas, collaborate effectively as part of a team, and communicate clearly in English.
- Respect data classification and security requirements, and understand what information must not be shared with external AI tools.
You'll get extra points for...
- Production experience with Java (Spring) and/or Vue
- Kafka or similar asynchronous integration
- Experience modernising or extending large, long-lived codebases
- Full-stack delivery across API and UI
- Concrete stories of AI-assisted work where you verified outcomes (tests, review, operational safety)
Thrive in a culture that values...
- Professional and fun team environment, where we offer you proper training and knowledge sharing
- Your personal and professional growth
- Variety - no day is the same
- Active lifestyle and provide you with a well-being package
- Work-life balance, flexibility
- Fun and engaging company events
