LOCATION: Bremen
JOB TYPE: Permanent
SALARY: Competitive
OVERVIEW Come work for one of the fastest-growing sports tech and iGaming companies in the world. Our NASDAQ-listed organization is aligned around shared passions for sports and technology, supporting thousands of partners with data and content worldwide.
We are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer to act as a technical catalyst within our iGaming division. This is a high-impact leadership role: you won’t just write code; you will define the engineering culture and architectural vision for our sports-based casino games. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of high-frequency sports data and engaging, real-time gaming experiences. You will partner with leadership to translate product strategy into robust, scalable technical roadmaps while empowering our developers to work smarter and faster through modern engineering methodologies, including AI-driven development.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Architectural Vision: Lead the design and evolution of highly resilient, low-latency, and distributed architectures that power our iGaming products, ensuring they handle massive concurrency and real-time video and sports data streams.
AI-Augmented Engineering: Champion the adoption of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cody) within our development lifecycle. Define standards for AI-assisted code generation, automated documentation, test-case generation, and legacy code refactoring to drastically improve team velocity and code quality.
Engineering Excellence: Set the bar for best practices. Guide teams in test-driven development (TDD), security-first design, and clean-code principles. Foster an environment where quality and speed are not trade-offs but partners.
Cross-Team Enablement: Work across the organization to break down silos. You will act as a bridge between front-end, back-end, and infrastructure teams to ensure seamless product delivery and technical alignment.
Hands-On Technical Leadership: Stay close to the code. Dive into critical path issues, participate in complex problem-solving, and lead by example in difficult refactoring or high-stakes feature implementations.
Mentorship & Growth: Mentor Staff and Senior Engineers, cultivating a culture of continuous learning. Your success is measured by the growth and autonomy of the engineers around you.
QUALIFICATIONS
Experience: 10+ years of software development experience, with a proven track record in the iGaming, betting, or high-concurrency real-time gaming sectors.
Tech Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Java/JVM ecosystems and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript).
AI Fluency: Deep experience in leveraging AI coding assistants to improve development workflows. You understand not just how to prompt these tools, but how to integrate them into a secure, enterprise-grade engineering process.
System Design: Proven ability to architect complex, distributed systems in the cloud. Deep expertise in AWS (ECS, EKS, RDS, S3).
Influence: Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction across multiple squads, not just your immediate team.
Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical constraints into business risks/opportunities for non-technical leadership.
PREFERRED SKILLS
Expertise in low-latency game engine architecture (mobile or browser-based).
Experience building and scaling real-time video streaming solutions.
Knowledge of global iGaming regulatory requirements and compliance standards.
Strong understanding of DevOps as a culture, not just a toolset.

weniger ansehen About Us:
We are looking for a technically-minded finance professional to join our Corporate FP&A team. Your mission is to build the digital infrastructure that automates the month-end reporting cycle, consolidates our financial logic, and eliminates manual data processing.
You will act as a link between our high-speed commercial growth and our financial accuracy requirements. You’ll start by developing a deep understanding of our existing processes and reporting rhythms, with the goal of streamlining and automating the processes.
The Challenge:
Process engineering & automation
Eliminate manual processing : Identify and streamline repetitive manual activities across the month-end cycle, including accruals, revenue-share calculations, cost reconciliations, and reporting processes
Workflow orchestration: Use tools like Power Automate, Python, Power BI or Abacum to automate data flows between our ERP, Jira, and our reporting layers.
Systemic governance: Support improvement of the approval and control processes by embedding financial logic and governance directly into systems and workflows to enforce budgetary compliance.
Financial control & reporting efficiency
Automated cycle oversight: Improve the consolidated month-end cycle by building diagnostic tools that flag variances in real-time, rather than after the books are finalized.
Revenue & cost forensics: Help build automated audit agents that cross-reference contract data with actual spend to identify leakages or accrual risks.
Month-End Close - Support and manage month-end close activities across operating expenditure, including the preparation and review of invoices, accruals, and related system entries in line with agreed timelines and control standards, with the need of further automating these activities over time.
Technical control & audit readiness
Technical interface: Serve as the primary technical contact for external auditors and the Global Controller, translating our complex commercial models into audited financial actuals.
Data contract management: Define and enforce data contracts between Accounting and FP&A to ensure that actuals arrive clean, mapped, and ready for analysis.
SOX processes and IFRS knowledge - Support and strengthen SOX controls and audit processes by improving the reliability, traceability, and consistency of financial data and reporting workflows
About You:
Data literacy: Proficiency in SQL (Redshift/BigQuery) or a proven ability to learn technical data structures quickly is required. You must be able to pull and join your own data, build own visualizations in Power BI without a ticket.
Automation mindset: Experience with (or a strong desire, proven ability to learn) n8n, Python, or other workflow automation tools.
System savvy: Experience with modern FP&A platforms (Abacum, Pigment, or Anaplan) and ERP environments.
Advanced excel: Still required, but primarily for prototyping logic before moving it into an automated system.
1-3 years of experience in Financial Control, FP&A, or Finance Operations.
Background in a high-growth tech, sports data/betting environment is a significant plus.Business / Finance / Other appropriate degree. Masters not necessary
A systems-thinking approach: You see the company as a series of connected data flows rather than a collection of separate spreadsheets.
Ownership mentality: You take pride in permanently retiring manual processes.
