Senior Fullstack Developer (NestJS / React)

What is the project, and why should you care?

The company is a provider-side iGaming observability and revenue intelligence platform that sits between game providers and their operator distribution network. The platform ingests round-event data in real time, independently computes Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), and continuously reconciles operator-reported settlements to detect revenue leakage — a problem that costs game providers millions annually in undetected FX errors, revenue-share miscalculations, and bonus misclassifications. 

You will be an excellent fit for this position if you have:

Mandatory

• 5+ years of total software development experience.
• 3+ years of production experience with React, including complex state management (Redux / Redux Toolkit, React Query, Zustand, or similar).
• 3+ years of Node.js / TypeScript backend experience, ideally with NestJS in a production API or BFF layer.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript across both frontend and backend.
• Hands-on experience with Prisma ORM (or comparable) and PostgreSQL, including writing performant queries and designing indexes.
• Solid understanding of authentication and authorization patterns: JWT (access + refresh tokens), RBAC / Guards, session security, and multi-tenant data isolation.
• Experience designing and consuming REST APIs in a microservices or BFF architecture, including request validation, error handling, and contract stability.
• Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, S3, ALB, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager) and CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
• Familiarity with Docker / Docker Compose and basic containerised deployment workflows.
• Experience with unit and integration testing (Jest, Vitest, Supertest, or similar) and a habit of shipping code with tests.
• Strong English communication skills (B2+).
• Self-organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a distributed team.
• Proven daily use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) for code generation, refactoring, debugging, testing, and documentation — this is a standard expectation, not optional.
• Comfort treating AI tools as a normal part of the engineering workflow, not as an experiment — using them to accelerate delivery, raise code quality, and remove repetitive engineering work.
• Ability (and motivation) to apply AI to real SDLC tasks: scaffolding NestJS modules and React components, generating and reviewing tests, debugging production-grade TypeScript, drafting technical documentation, and reasoning about migrations (e.g., BigInt financial refactors).
• Awareness of the limits of AI output in a regulated, financial-grade context: every AI-assisted change must be reviewed, tested, and traceable through code review and the immutable audit log.

Desirable

• Experience working in regulated industries — ideally iGaming under UKGC / MGA, financial services, or healthcare — with awareness of GDPR, audit logging, and PII handling.
• Experience with financial-grade calculations: integer (BigInt) arithmetic in minor currency units, FX handling, and reconciliation logic.
• Experience implementing immutable audit logs, HMAC event signing, or other tamper-evident data flows.
• Familiarity with Redis caching patterns, query performance tuning, and N+1 query elimination.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code tooling.
• Experience with Elasticsearch or comparable search/analytics engines.
• Experience with TDD and code-review-driven development.
• Experience with JIRA and Confluence in an Agile / Scrum environment.
• Background in iGaming or online gaming platforms.

Here are some of the things you’ll be working on:

• Build and harden backend on NestJS: persistent user accounts, JWT access + refresh token flow, RolesGuard, and full tenant isolation across every API endpoint.
• Migrate financial calculations to BigInt arithmetic in minor currency units, ensuring every GGR figure is provably correct to the cent.
• Wire the immutable AuditLog across onboarding, settlement, configuration, and user-management flows so every data mutation is captured and exportable as evidence.
• Design and implement management APIs — Operator CRUD, Provider Creation, User Management — with strict validation and role-based access.
• Performance work: database indexing, Redis caching strategies, and N+1 query audit/elimination.
• Build the provider-facing React 19 frontend: Login UI and auth flow, App.tsx modularisation, operator onboarding screens, and live revenue dashboards.
• Write unit and integration tests; collaborate with QA on E2E, load, and UAT cycles.
• Actively leverage AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency across coding, testing, debugging, and other SDLC activities.
• Resolve technical problems as they arise, and bug-fix developed features.
• Communicate with team members and the Product team; participate in Scrum ceremonies.
• Mentor middle- and junior-level colleagues as required.
