Senior Developer, Common Gaming Platforms

As a Senior Developer, you will have a significant role in the product team working on Veikkaus Aggregation Platform. Aggregation Platform is a central component in the Veikkaus tech stack connecting the various game engines, platforms and backends in a flexible and automated way. If you enjoy the challenge of building a high-availability, generalised integration platform that is capable of massively decreasing time-to-market, then this will be a challenge worthy of your time and effort! The product is in active development with many core capabilities still to be developed. Given that, your handiwork will shape the product and, in many ways, you will be at the forefront of building a modern iPaaS solution.

We are looking for a person who loves problem-solving and thinking outside the box, who is comfortable with uncertainty and can break down complex topics to clear, easily understandable chunks. Your many years of experience tell you that technical excellence alone is not enough, but great teamwork, discipline and responsibility are key to success. You also bring your educated views – whether it’s about code quality, effective teamwork, DevOps or API design – to the table and stand by them while willing to let the best argument win.

Key competencies and experience

• Java (other languages are a plus)

• Databases (both relational and NoSQL)

• Cloud infrastructure e.g. AWS or GCP (GCP preferred)

• Extensive experience with modern API design and management, including RESTful principles, API security (OAuth2/OIDC), versioning strategies, and documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)

• Extensive experience creating clean, secure and performant code

• Experience with messaging systems (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ, JMS, or cloud equivalents like GCP Pub/Sub)

• Experience with DevOps, including Continuous Integration (CI), automated deployment, and test automation

• Experience building business-critical, observable solutions and maintaining them

• Experience with Agile principles and practices

• Fluent in English, both spoken and written
  

You will thrive in this position, if you have experience with

• Modern frontend development (ECMAScript, Typescript, frontend frameworks)

• Enterprise Integration Patterns

• Architecture design

• Fluent in Finnish, both spoken and written

We offer

• A workplace where the game evolves – and so do you. You’ll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success – in Finland and beyond. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.

• Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world-class entertainment are built together – and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.

• Balanced and inspiring work life. At Veikkaus, we believe a good job adds something to life – but isn’t all there is to it.

• A skilled team with years of experience in their domain and products.

• Excellent employee benefits. You can read more about us and our benefits from here.
