Igaming Developer information

What is an iGaming developer?

iGaming Developers are software professionals who design, build, and maintain online gaming platforms, including casino games, sports betting applications, and other interactive gambling solutions. They work with a variety of technologies to ensure smooth gameplay, secure transactions, and engaging user experiences. iGaming Developers often collaborate with game designers, backend engineers, and compliance teams to create reliable and legally compliant gaming environments. Their work is essential for the operation and growth of online casinos and betting websites.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an iGaming developer?

To thrive as an iGaming Developer, you need strong programming skills (such as JavaScript, C++, or HTML5), a solid understanding of game mechanics, and experience with software development, often supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with game engines (like Unity or Unreal Engine), version control systems (e.g., Git), and compliance standards in regulated markets is typical. Creativity, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills for delivering engaging and reliable gaming experiences. These skills are vital to ensure games are both technically robust and appealing to users in a highly competitive, fast-evolving industry.

What are the typical collaboration points between an iGaming developer and other departments within a gaming company?

As an iGaming Developer, you’ll regularly collaborate with teams such as game design, quality assurance, and product management. Developers work closely with designers to implement creative concepts and ensure the gameplay experience matches the intended vision. Coordination with QA is essential to identify and resolve bugs or performance issues before release. Additionally, you may interact with compliance and backend teams to ensure games meet regulatory requirements and integrate smoothly with casino platforms, fostering a dynamic and cross-functional work environment.

Senior Software Engineer -- WPT Home (Full-Stack)

Bellota Labs

Redwood City, CA • On-site

$225K - $275K/yr

Full-time

Posted 28 days ago

Job description

At Bellota Labs, we’re building the next generation of interactive gaming experiences. Our newest product, WPTHome, is redefining how players engage with the World Poker Tour by creating a connected, engaging platform that brings the excitement and community of poker beyond the table. As a fast-growing startup backed by the World Poker Tour, we’re driven by innovation, world-class product development, and a passion for delivering exceptional player experiences.

We’re looking for a Senior/Principal Software Engineer to join our team and play a key role in shaping the architecture, design, and development of WPTHome. You’ll work alongside a talented engineering organization to build scalable systems, solve complex technical challenges, and help define the future of our platform. If you’re excited by the opportunity to build a product from the ground up and make a meaningful impact in a high-growth environment, we’d love to meet you.

Why this role is worth your time

  • Real product, real stakes, real players. ClubWPT Gold is a live, real-money (sweepstakes) poker + casino platform under the WPT brand — not a prototype. Your code ships to players multi-tabling for real prizes.

  • Genuinely hard engineering. Real-time table state, multi-tabling performance, client perf budgets across desktop (Electron) and mobile, provably-fair gameplay, and an event pipeline doing live hand analytics. This is netcode and low-latency systems work, not CRUD.

  • Greenfield leverage. We're mid-way through decoupling our platform into clean, independently-shippable services and a new back-office — so a senior engineer has room to set patterns, not just fill tickets.

  • Small US team, high ownership. You'll be one of a handful of senior full-stack engineers on Home. Scope is wide, decisions are yours to make, and impact is visible from day one.

  • Poker DNA welcome. If you play, you'll shape a product you understand better than most engineers ever could.

What you'll do

  • Ship end-to-end features spanning the Unity/C# client and backend game services — from table UX and mini-games to the APIs and real-time state behind them.

  • Improve client performance and stability for multi-tabling on desktop and mobile (memory, frame budget, thermals, reconnect/resync).

  • Design and evolve real-time, low-latency services for gameplay: table state, matchmaking, tournament flows, wallet/ledger, and event streaming.

  • Partner on fairness, integrity, and anti-cheat — RNG correctness, hand-history accuracy, and the analytics pipeline that watches for anomalies.

  • Build for a regulated, real-money context: work cleanly alongside payments, KYC, and geo-compliance systems without letting that complexity leak into gameplay.

  • Raise the engineering bar: reviews, testing, observability, and on-call for the surfaces you own.

What we're looking for

Must-haves

  • 5+ years building and shipping production software; senior-level ownership of non-trivial systems.

  • Real full-stack range: strong in a client stack and in backend services (you don't need both to be Unity/C#, but you must be able to go deep on the client and the server).

  • Hands-on with C# and/or Unity, or a track record that makes picking them up fast credible (strong C++/game-client, graphics, or real-time systems background).

  • Experience with real-time / low-latency or high-concurrency systems (multiplayer netcode, streaming, matchmaking, trading, or similar).

  • Comfort operating what you build: testing, observability, incident response.

Nice-to-haves

    • Domain: poker, casino, social-casino, or real-money / iGaming / sweepstakes experience.

    • Live-ops / games-as-a-service: shipping to a live audience with feature flags, staged rollouts, and A/B testing.

    • Client depth: Unity performance profiling, memory/thermal optimization, or Electron desktop packaging.

    • Real-time systems: multiplayer netcode, matchmaking, or state sync at scale.

    • Data / eventing: Kafka / Kinesis pipelines; hand-history, telemetry, or analytics work.

    • Infra / CD: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Jenkins.

    • Regulated domain: payments (PSP routing), KYC, geo-compliance, or fraud/integrity systems.

    • You're a poker player.

If you are excited to be part of a fast-growing team that is redefining the online gaming experience, we would love to hear from you. Join us at Bellota Labs and help shape the future of gaming innovation!
