About Us..
We are a cutting-edge startup gaming operator who is passionate about social gaming. Our goal is to provide players with the best gaming experiences possible, whether looking for fun and excitement, or the chance to win big prizes. The organisation is going through one of its most important recruitment drives as it builds a world-class team to accelerate growth.
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will own our cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines end-to-end. Your mission is to keep our AWS-hosted services secure, scalable, observable, and cost-efficient while enabling rapid, reliable software delivery. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, QA, and product teams to embed DevOps best practices throughout the SDLC and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
