DevOps engineer (with Java)

Games Inc. is looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer (with Java) to help build, scale, and maintain the backbone of its gaming platform. You’ll be hands-on in coding, problem-solving, and collaborating across teams to ensure the platform is robust, reliable, and future-ready.

About the company:

Games Inc. is a long-established game studio with over 10 years of experience delivering high-quality real-money casino games. Renowned for visually striking and mathematically rich content, the studio collaborates with top-tier operators across regulated and unregulated markets. The diverse portfolio includes classic slots, bespoke table games, and next-generation crash games, crafted by a team of industry experts.

With a proprietary Remote Gaming Server (RGS) and full licensing, Games Inc. ensures full control, scalability, and compliance. Now expanding distribution, accelerating production, and investing in scalable tech, the studio is evolving into a globally recognised supplier.

What You Will Do:

As a DevOps Engineer (with Java) at Games Inc., you will sit at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure. You will be a hands-on contributor to the core Java platform while simultaneously leading the charge on our Cloud infrastructure and DevOps maturity.

From player session management to automated deployment pipelines, you will help us build a “self-service” platform foundation. You will work closely with the Tech Lead and Chief Architect not only to write clean, scalable Java code but also to drive architectural decisions regarding cloud-native adoption, CI/CD optimization, and infrastructure automation.

Summary of Responsibilities:

• Infrastructure & Architecture: Designing and implementing secure, scalable Cloud infrastructure using Terraform (IaC);

• Backend Development: Writing clean, tested, and high-performance Java code for core platform services and APIs;

• Helping migrate applications written in other languages to Java;

• DevOps Culture: Evangelizing DevOps practices within the team; becoming the go-to person for cloud knowledge sharing and helping other developers understand infrastructure;

• CI/CD Optimization: Taking ownership of the deployment pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub), ensuring fast, reliable, and automated releases;

• Reliability: Improving system observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and leading root-cause analysis for production issues;

• Modernization: Helping migrate legacy systems to containerized (Docker) and cloud-native solutions, reducing technical debt.

  
  

Tech Stack:

The team is modernising the platform, and you’ll get to work with:

• Core Backend: Java (primary), with some exposure to Typescript, NodeJS, Python;

• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (must have), Docker;

• Cloud Provider Experience: AWS (primary, with EC2, ALB, Route53, IAM, VPC, etc.), GCP;

• Observability & CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, CAdvisor;

• Databases: MongoDB (primary), Postgres;

• iGaming experience: obligatory.

  
  

What you'll need to have:

• 3+ years of experience in a hybrid Backend/DevOps role or Systems Engineering;

• Proficiency in Java: Comfortable writing complex backend logic and APIs;

• Deep cloud knowledge: You understand how to architect for cost, security, and high availability;

• Strong IaC experience: You treat Terraform configuration as production software;

• CI/CD Ownership: Experience setting up and maintaining pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub);

• Containerization: Experience with Docker and orchestration concepts;

• Collaborative mindset: You are eager to share your Cloud/DevOps knowledge with the wider engineering team.

  
  

What Makes This Opportunity Unique:

• A remote-first culture built on trust, flexibility, and respect;

• The chance to work on a platform powering globally distributed casino games;

• A leadership team that values technical input and innovation;

• Autonomy and ownership over meaningful parts of the platform;

• Competitive salary, holiday, and benefits (tailored depending on location).
