Description

The Client Domain is all about innovation. Here we shape our products to satisfy the needs of our heterogeneous customer base. To achieve this you will collaborate closely with the Frontend Engineers in the team to design and implement bespoke APIs and services that will be used by our different products and brands.

We are responsible for the development of the backend services that power our client applications, i.e. primarily the API Gateway of our platform but also client-related services such as authentication, internationalization or content management and other backend services that allow us to provide a unique experience to a specific segment of our users. Being our platform’s gateway to the outside world, scalability and responsiveness is of utmost importance in the Client Domain. It is worth noting that the traffic pattern of our platform will not only be dictated by the sporting calendar but also by the sometimes unpredictable behavior of our users.

By joining our team you will be working primarily with Scala but you will also influence the full lifecycle of our software, starting with architectural and design decisions, all the way to the implementation, testing and monitoring of the resulting services.

Remote Work

Being a distributed team enables us to hire only the best, without being restricted to the talent pool available at a specific geographic location. However, to facilitate team communication and collaboration we currently require you to be located in Europe. You must also be able to travel to other European locations 1-2 times a year for our onsite meetings.

Compensation

The compensation range for this role is €50,000 to €80,000 annually, depending on your skills and experience. We encourage you to read our Recruitment FAQs for further details. In addition to the monetary compensation, we provide a number of perks to all team members.

Responsibilities

• Write maintainable and clean code
• Monitor and troubleshoot services
• Ensure that the services are up to the latest standards in terms of security, scalability and resilience
