Software Architect
GR8 Tech builds B2B iGaming platforms for operators who play to lead. We deliver full-cycle, high-impact tech designed to scale — from seamless integrations and expert consulting to long-term operational support. Our platform powers millions of active players and drives real business growth. Call it what it is: the iGaming Platform for Champions. With 1000+ GR8 people across locations and time zones, we don’t just ship technology — we help operators build success stories across brands, markets, and geos. Our ambition drives us. Our people make it real. If you’re a challenger in spirit and a champion in action — join us. Why this role exists: This role exists to bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and high-performance engineering reality. You’ll help us scale our technical ecosystem by taking full ownership of architectural blueprints, governance standards, and the long-term stability of our distributed systems. What you’ll drive: Strategy & Architecture Design Define and evangelize technology principles that balance short-term delivery with long-term system vitality. Architect distributed systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA). Select and validate the right tools—from Kafka streams to NoSQL stores—to solve specific scale bottlenecks. Resilience & Governance Design for failure by implementing patterns like Circuit Breaker, Bulkhead, and advanced Rate-limiting. Establish governance frameworks that unblock developers rather than slowing them down with bureaucracy. Optimize data strategies, including sharding, replication, and performance tuning for SQL/NoSQL databases under heavy load. Delivery & Cloud Evolution Build scalable infrastructure using Kubernetes, Docker, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Ansible). Modernize CI/CD pipelines to ensure automated, secure, and rapid deployments. Drive FinOps initiatives to ensure our cloud architecture is as cost-efficient as it is performant. Technical Leadership Unblock engineering teams by breaking down complex problems into clear, documented architectural blueprints. Lead architecture reviews and mentor senior engineers to foster a culture of technical excellence. What makes you a GR8 fit: Must-have 5+ years in senior/lead engineering roles with a proven track record in Microservices, EDA, and DDD. Deep understanding of CAP theorem, ACID properties, and implementing fault-tolerance patterns. Hands-on mastery of AWS or Azure, including Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform (IaC). Expert-level SQL/NoSQL knowledge, including database sharding, replication, and query optimization. Proficiency in Kafka (architecture, stream processing, and optimization for reliability). Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field. Nice-to-have Understanding of IAM, PKI, and building secure VPC/Hybrid cloud environments. Experience with GitLab CI/GitHub Actions and optimizing cloud infrastructure costs. Designing monitoring strategies using APM tools and logging frameworks for full system visibility. Proven ability to migrate monoliths to cloud-native architectures without downtime. Experience in technical mentoring, code reviews, and driving engineering excellence across teams.
