About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Kambi. This is not a standard backend role.

You will work on business-critical systems where:

Performance matters.

Reliability is essential.

Correctness is critical.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, makes sound technical decisions, and contributes effectively in a complex, high-impact environment.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain high-throughput backend services in Java

Work with low-latency, distributed systems

Solve real production challenges related to performance, failures, and scaling

Take ownership of systems and features end-to-end

Collaborate closely with engineers, product, and stakeholders

Contribute to architectural decisions and technical direction

Continuously improve system reliability, observability, and maintainability

What You Bring

Strong Java & Backend Expertise

Solid understanding of: Concurrency and multithreading

JVM behavior (memory, garbage collection, performance)

Core Java fundamentals

Experience building backend services using frameworks such as Spring Boot

Experience Working with Production Systems

Hands-on experience debugging and resolving issues in live systems

Familiarity with observability practices (logging, metrics, tracing)

Experience identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks

Understanding how systems behave under real-world load

Distributed Systems & System Design

Experience working with microservices and/or event-driven architectures

Understanding of: Scalability and fault tolerance

Backpressure and system resilience

Trade-offs such as consistency vs availability

Experience with messaging systems (e.g. Kafka) is highly valued

Ownership & Engineering Judgment

Take responsibility beyond individual tasks and drive work forward

Operate effectively in environments with some ambiguity

Proactively identify issues and drive improvements

Make sound technical decisions and clearly communicate trade-offs

Balance simplicity, performance, and long-term maintainability

Understand the operational and maintenance impact of technical choices

This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If

Your experience is primarily limited to simple CRUD-based applications

You have limited exposure to debugging or operating production systems

You are most comfortable working in environments where requirements are fully defined upfront and change is limited

You are not comfortable taking ownership of systems end-to-end

Tech Context

Java (primary)

Spring Boot

Distributed systems and messaging (e.g. Kafka)

Cloud-based infrastructure

Containerized environments

Application
