We are on the ground floor of an industry revolution that is ripe for digital disruption and looking to expand our world-class team.

Job Description

Gambyt is seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer who can contribute across multiple codebases and product areas with minimal supervision. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who brings strong engineering fundamentals, sound technical judgment, and the ability to navigate ambiguity and define technical direction as requirements and priorities evolve.

You will work across backend services, cloud infrastructure, web frontends, and mobile applications as needed, contributing where your skills and the business needs align. Rather than being focused on a single platform, this role requires flexibility, ownership, and a product-oriented mindset.

This is a high-impact role delivering software for major US state lottery customers. You will collaborate closely with product, design, engineering peers, and client stakeholders to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-quality software.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical decisions that balance product goals, business constraints, system scalability, and long-term maintainability.
• Improve engineering standards through code review and the establishment of shared patterns and best practices.
• Contribute across multiple codebases and platforms, including backend services, web applications, and mobile apps
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement
• Partner closely with product and design to translate real requirements into effective technical solutions

Required Qualifications

• Strong engineering fundamentals and experience building and shipping production software
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of production systems or major features
• Ability to operate with high autonomy and make sound technical decisions across unfamiliar systems
• Comfort working across backend, frontend, and mobile codebases as business needs change
• Product-oriented mindset with a focus on solving real problems rather than optimizing for a single technology
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to decision-making
• Based in the U.S., able to work standard Eastern Time hours

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with our technologies is a plus but not required—strong fundamentals and the ability to learn quickly are more important. Our technologies include:

• Mobile : Swift (iOS), Kotlin (Android)
• Frontend : JavaScript, TypeScript, React
• Backend : Node.js (with Express), Postgres, Redis
• Infrastructure : AWS, Heroku, Terraform, GitHub Actions
• Tools : GitHub, modern CI/CD pipelines

All full-time employees receive:

• Remote work environment
• Competitive compensation packages
• Performance and anniversary bonus programs
• Equity program in our privately-held company
• Unlimited vacation and personal leave
• Summer Fridays during the summer months (coordinated company-wide time off)

• 401k program with guaranteed company contribution
• Monthly perks like food delivery to your home
• Monthly cell phone and computer stipend
