Software Engineer

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a newly forming team that will own one of the most specialised and business-critical domains in our technology landscape - Game Engine.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, game mathematics, platform, and compliance. You’ll work on the tools, frameworks, and services that enable our mathematicians and game teams to build, validate, run, and monitor game logic in production.

This position is about deep ownership of a very specific technical domain: game engines, mathematical packages, simulation data, RTP monitoring, round details, and integrations with games developed both internally and by external studios.

You’ll be part of a, experienced Core team with a high level of responsibility. The impact of this work is direct: incorrect game logic, missing round details, or inaccurate RTP monitoring can affect game delivery timelines, business performance, and regulatory readiness.

If you enjoy working close to complex domain logic, reviewing technical implementations, understanding how games work under the hood, and owning systems where precision matters - this role will feel like home.

Key Responsibilities

• Own, maintain, and evolve Playson’s Game Engine.

• Work on internal frameworks and libraries used by mathematicians to implement game logic and mathematical packages.

• Review and validate code written by mathematicians, ensuring quality, correctness, maintainability, and proper usage of internal frameworks.

• Contribute to the development and support of game engines used to run mathematical logic within our platform.

• Support integrations with external game studios by helping build wrappers and bridges between third-party game implementations and Playson’s platform.

• Work with data structures and protocols that connect game logic with frontend and backend systems.

• Contribute to RTP monitoring processes, including validation of production transaction data against simulation data and expected mathematical behaviour.

• Support and evolve tools used for mathematical review, simulations, data files, monitoring, and alerting.

• Implement and maintain round details logic required for regulated markets, ensuring that detailed game round information can be correctly provided to partners and regulators.

• Collaborate closely with mathematicians, backend engineers, platform teams, compliance stakeholders, and product representatives.

• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to ensure a high engineering standard across the Game Engine domain.
