ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a hands-on Senior Application Security Engineer to become a founding member of our security team. You will be joining a highly regulated iGaming environment where uptime, data integrity, and user trust are paramount.

You will shape the security of our consumer-facing platforms and of the cloud infrastructure they run on, balancing compliance requirements with the agility our business needs to grow.

Why Join Us? Impact: Be a founding member of the security team, helping shape our application security practice and tooling from the ground up.

High-Stakes Challenge: Work in an environment where security directly affects user trust, real-time operations, and the bottom line.

YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR: Secure the Development Lifecycle: Embed security into every stage of how we build software, from threat modeling at design time to security review before release. Partner with engineering to make secure-by-default the path of least resistance.

Audit Web & Native Applications: Drive and run security testing and code review across our web and mobile apps. Protect the API Surface: Review and harden the APIs powering our platforms with focus on authorization and abuse prevention.

Defend the Perimeter: Manage and tune our WAF and DDoS mitigation. You understand that in our industry, availability is revenue. Secure Cloud Infrastructure: Help harden our cloud environment where it matters most for application security.

Automation & Scripting: Automate security checks, reduce manual toil, and ensure consistent controls across our pipelines and environments. Compliance Support: Act as the technical bridge for regulatory and ISO certifications.

Business Partnership: Work closely with engineering and product teams. You will champion a "Security by Design" culture, helping stakeholders understand risk without acting as a blocker to innovation.

Strategic partnership: Driving our collaboration with Google to architect the future of our AI workflows and security frameworks.

OUR SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING: AppSec Specialist: You have a strong background in securing high-scale, consumer-facing applications across mobile and web. You know the OWASP Top 10 cold and have opinions about what it leaves out.

Code Reviewer: You can read and audit code in modern high-level languages and use automated tools. Networking Native: You have a deep, foundational understanding of networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, TLS). You aren't just a cloud user; you understand how packets move and how to secure them at the protocol level.

Cloud-Comfortable: You have working knowledge of cloud security, Kubernetes, and the trade-offs of running microservices at scale. Regulated Background: You have thrived in industries with strict compliance requirements (iGaming, Fintech or Healthcare) and understand the rigor required.

Scripting Skills: You automate security workflows with Python or similar. Pragmatic Communicator: You weigh business goals against security risk and can explain to non-technical stakeholders why a control matters.

Provider Management: Experience evaluating, onboarding, and managing external security vendors or managed service providers. You know how to get real value out of third-party partners.
