Software Architect

GR8 Tech builds B2B iGaming platforms for operators who play to lead. We deliver full-cycle, high-impact tech designed to scale — from seamless integrations and expert consulting to long-term operational support. Our platform powers millions of active players and drives real business growth. Call it what it is: the iGaming Platform for Champions. With 1000+ GR8 people across locations and time zones, we don’t just ship technology — we help operators build success stories across brands, markets, and geos. Our ambition drives us. Our people make it real. If you’re a challenger in spirit and a champion in action — join us. Why this role exists: This role exists to bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and high-performance engineering reality. You’ll help usscale our technical ecosystemby takingfull ownership of architectural blueprints, governance standards, and the long-term stabilityof our distributed systems. What you’ll drive: Strategy & Architecture Design Define and evangelize technology principles that balance short-term delivery with long-term system vitality.Architect distributed systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA).Select and validate the right tools—from Kafka streams to NoSQL stores—to solve specific scale bottlenecks.
