Our client, an established company operating within the **regulated iGaming industry** , is looking for a **Senior Full-Stack Developer** to join their team on a **100% remote, full-time B2B/contractor basis**.
This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role for an experienced developer who can take full ownership of features from concept through to production. The environment combines **PHP/Laravel, React/TypeScript and browser-based game development** , with AI tools forming an integral part of the development workflow.
The successful candidate will be expected not only to use AI-assisted development tools effectively, but also to critically review, validate and challenge AI-generated code before it reaches production.
### Responsibilities
- Develop and deliver **full-stack features end-to-end** , covering backend APIs, frontend development, databases and deployment.
- Build and maintain backend functionality using **PHP/Laravel**.
- Develop frontend applications using **React and TypeScript**.
- Work with browser-based/canvas games using technologies such as **PixiJS, Three.js or equivalent WebGL frameworks**.
- Work with **MySQL and Redis** within a production environment.
- Develop and maintain REST APIs and contribute to a multi-service architecture.
- Investigate production issues independently, moving from logs and symptoms through to root-cause identification.
- Translate acquisition, retention and product requirements into reliable features for a regulated, real-money environment.
- Work with cloud infrastructure, including **GCP services, Docker and Terraform**.
- Use AI development tools and agents as part of the daily engineering workflow for areas such as scaffolding, refactoring and navigating unfamiliar codebases.
- Thoroughly review and validate AI-generated code to ensure the same standards are applied as with manually written code.
- Maintain clean, tested and maintainable code while continuously improving overall code quality.
- Keep technical and service documentation accurate and up to date.
- Use AI tools efficiently, with appropriate attention to prompt scope and cost control.
### Requirements
- Several years of **senior-level software development experience** , with proven ownership of production features from start to finish.
- Strong hands-on experience with **PHP and Laravel**.
- Strong experience with **React and TypeScript**.
- Experience with **PixiJS, Three.js or similar WebGL/canvas technologies** would be highly advantageous.
- Production experience with **MySQL and Redis**.
- Experience with **GCP or an equivalent cloud platform** , including containers, managed databases, secrets and IAM.
- Comfortable reading and working with **Terraform**.
- Experience working within large or multi-service codebases.
- AI-assisted development should already form a meaningful part of the candidate's **day-to-day development workflow**.
- Strong understanding of how to review, test and validate AI-generated code rather than relying on generated output without verification.
- Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of complex technical problems.
- Curious, collaborative and pragmatic approach to software development.
- Previous experience within **iGaming or another regulated real-money environment** would be considered a strong advantage, although it is not essential.
