About the Job

We are looking for a talented and experienced Principal Engineer to join our team and drive the technical excellence of our Remote Gaming Server and overall technology platform.

This role will report to our CTO. The Principal Engineer will act as CTO during the CTO's absence, making critical technical decisions and steering the company's technology direction. This is a key leadership role responsible for delivering, implementing, and overseeing technical solutions across both the platform and infrastructure areas.

• Minimum 10 years of experience in backend development, system engineering, or infrastructure management roles.

• Proven experience in leading the transition of a startup into a mature, structured technology organization, including setting up scalable processes, technologies, and operational standards.

• If not direct transition experience, then solid, hands-on experience working in both early-stage startups and mature, regulated organizations — fully understanding the challenges and standards of both environments.

• Advanced knowledge of Python for backend development, system tools, and automation.

• Advanced Linux system engineering skills — experience managing bare-metal Linux servers (not cloud-native environments).

• Deep experience with Docker, containerization, and orchestration tools.

• Strong proficiency with Git, GitLab CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Terraform).

• Extensive background in building, operating, and scaling high-volume, transaction-heavy systems — ideally in regulated industries such as gaming, fintech, banking, or healthcare.

• In-depth understanding of system reliability, scalability, and security principles in production environments.

• Strong scripting abilities (e.g., Bash, Python).

• Ability to lead and mentor teams while remaining deeply hands-on with delivery.

• Proficiency in English (minimum B2 level or higher).
