What’s the position?
We’re looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer to own technical direction for mobile experiences within the Promos domain, working within our shared React Native platform and contributing to related web and back office experiences where needed. You will solve complex client engineering problems and raise the engineering bar across teams while remaining close to the code.

Working across Product, Design, QA, Backend, Platform, Security, Compliance, and Operations, you will turn ambiguous needs into durable strategies and guide critical initiatives from discovery through production. Staff level impact means creating clarity beyond one team, developing other engineers, and being accountable for organizational outcomes, not only implementation.

Your responsibilities will include

Technical strategy and architecture

• Own the mobile technical direction for the assigned product domain, such as Promos, while aligning with the shared React Native platform and supporting related web and back office experiences where needed.
• Partner with Principal and Staff Engineers and the teams that own shared capabilities such as geolocation, identity, security, compliance, and platform services, integrating those capabilities into Promos while maintaining clear ownership boundaries.
• Guide architecture evolution and modernization, balancing product delivery, technical debt, and platform investment through pragmatic decisions, clear tradeoffs, and measurable outcomes.
• Lead major restructuring work through planned iterative delivery: establish the target end state before execution, decompose the initiative into sequenced tickets, surface dependencies and risks, and provide credible delivery dates that are updated as evidence changes.

Promotional and client capabilities

• Build responsive and reliable promotional experiences across mobile and web, including offer discovery, eligibility, activation, state changes, and rewards, with clear recovery and correctness.
• Partner with Product, Data, Backend, and Operations to define promotion lifecycle, client contracts, experimentation, success measures, and operational controls across mobile, web, and back office experiences.
• Set standards for deeplinks

and secure development for systems where reliability, compliance, security, or financial correctness are business critical.

• Hands on fluency with AI assisted software development and a practical understanding of prompt/context design, evaluation, hallucination risk, privacy, security, and responsible human review.
• A record of shaping technical and product strategy, delivering ambiguous multi team initiatives, and connecting investments to measurable customer and business outcomes without relying on formal authority.
• Excellent communication and proactive, low ego leadership, including clear proposals, executive communication, productive conflict, sound decisions amid uncertainty, and effective mentoring.

Preferred experience

• Client experience in sportsbook, casino, online gaming, fintech, or another regulated digital industry.
• Experience with internal operational or back office applications, including GraphQL, MSAL or comparable SSO, role based access, audit trails, and workflow heavy interfaces.
• Experience scaling client engineering through monorepos, shared tooling, design systems, developer platforms, or production AI practices.

What’s in it for you?
We offer our employees more than competitive compensation. Our team benefits include:

• Competitive pay and benefits
• Flexible vacation allowance
• Flexible work from home or office hours
• Startup culture backed by a secure, global brand
• Opportunity to build products enjoyed by millions as part of a passionate team
• A roster of uniques
