Job Description

Gambyt is seeking a Software Engineer who is eager to build, ship, and improve real-world production systems used by lottery players across the United States.

This role is ideal for an early-career engineer with strong fundamentals who wants meaningful ownership early in their career. You will contribute to customer-facing features, internal tools, and backend services that power lottery applications. From your first projects, you will be expected to deliver production-ready code with guidance from senior engineers.

This is a high-impact role delivering software for major US state lottery customers. You will collaborate closely with product, design, engineering peers, and client stakeholders to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-quality software.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to clarify requirements and deliver high-quality player experiences
• Participate actively in code reviews, incorporating feedback and learning to make pragmatic tradeoffs

• Comfort navigating unfamiliar code and learning new tools quickly
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to decision-making
• Based in the U.S., able to work standard Eastern Time hours
