This role sits on the team building and operating our next-generation lottery platform - a cloud-native, containerized, microservices-based system with a React front end, Node.js services, and a MySQL data tier, deployed through automated CI/CD pipelines onto Kubernetes. Engineers on this team work across the full delivery lifecycle, from design and implementation through automated testing, deployment, and production support of a high-availability, real-time transaction platform.
Education, Training, and Experience- B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of training and experience
- 2-3 years of experience as a Software Engineer, with demonstrated continual increase in responsibilities
- At least 2 years of hands-on experience building web applications with JavaScript/TypeScript, including React on the front end and Node.js on the back end
- At least 1 year of experience with a relational database, preferably MySQL
- Practical experience with containerized applications (Docker) and with source control and CI/CD tooling (Git, automated build and deployment pipelines)
- Exposure to microservices architectures and container orchestration (Kubernetes) is strongly preferred
Knowledge, Skills, and AbilitiesApplication Development- Knowledge of standard software engineering concepts, practices, and procedures, including code review, version control branching strategies, and automated testing
- In-depth knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript, with strong React experience (component design, state management, hooks, responsive UI)
- Strong server-side development experience in Node.js, including RESTful API design, authentication and authorization, and integration with downstream services
- Experience designing and consuming service-to-service interfaces (REST, JSON, and message-based/event-driven integration)
- Familiarity with front-end build tooling, package management, and modern testing frameworks (for example Jest and end-to-end UI testing tools)
- Working knowledge of additional languages such as Java, C, C++, Python, or shell scripting is an advantage
Data and Reporting- Very strong SQL skills, including schema design, indexing, query tuning, and stored procedures
- Experience with MySQL administration fundamentals: migrations, backup/restore concepts, replication, and performance troubleshooting
- Experience developing and deploying operational and business reports in a web environment; experience with JReports (or a comparable enterprise reporting platform such as Jasper, BIRT, or Crystal Reports) is preferred
- Understanding of data warehousing, analytical/OLAP reporting, and data reconciliation concepts
Platform, Cloud, and DevOps- Hands-on experience containerizing applications with Docker and running workloads on Kubernetes; familiarity with Helm charts, config maps, secrets, and service discovery
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment, and with promoting releases across environments
- Understanding of microservices design concerns: service boundaries, versioning, resilience, idempotency, and backward compatibility
- Familiarity with observability practices - structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting - and with using them to diagnose production issues
- Working knowledge of Linux/UNIX environments; comfort on the command line
- Awareness of secure development practices relevant to regulated gaming: secrets management, least-privilege access, secure handling of credentials, and audit logging
Domain and Professional Skills- Product software development experience, with a strong track record of delivering and supporting production systems
- Experience coding for real-time, high-volume, event-driven transaction processing systems
- Understanding of high-availability and disaster-recovery concepts in a mission-critical environment
- Ability to work effectively both independently and as a team member in an Agile delivery model
- Good oral and written communication skills, including the ability to document designs and explain technical topics to non-technical stakeholders
Duties and Responsibilities- Design, develop, test, and maintain software applications, microservices, and specialized utility programs for the lottery platform
- Build and maintain React front-end applications and Node.js services that meet functional, performance, and security requirements
- Design and optimize MySQL schemas, queries, and data access layers supporting high-volume transaction processing
- Develop and maintain operational and regulatory reports using the platform reporting toolset
- Containerize services and maintain Kubernetes deployment manifests and configuration across environments
- Create and maintain CI/CD pipeline definitions, automated tests, and quality gates to support frequent, low-risk releases
- Analyze lottery and customer requirements and translate them into technical designs that optimize operational efficiency and efficacy
- Participate in code reviews, design reviews, testing, analysis, and the certification of software for regulated jurisdictions
- Support software installation, release deployment, and configuration in customer and internal environments
- Troubleshoot and resolve defects and production incidents, including participation in an on-call or escalation rotation as required
- Produce and maintain technical documentation for the systems and components owned by the team
- Other duties as assigned
