Principal Engineer

VGW is an interactive entertainment company, harnessing technology and creativity to deliver world-class, free-to-play games. 

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering team in Poland and are currently looking for a Principal Engineer to join the team. 

Join us as a Principal Engineer and shape the architecture of high-load, high-transactional systems to drive innovation and scalability in our dynamic engineering environment.

We're proud to offer this opportunity as a fully remote role, giving you the autonomy to manage your work in a way that suits your lifestyle and preferences.

What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We make room to do things the right way.
  • You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it.
  • We were born in the cloud: practices and principles like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do.

Tech we use:

In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerised apps on AWS, sometimes in ECS but moving to EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run Kotlin on the JVM. TypeScript runs our client side where it’s mostly React. Our databases are PostgreSQL and DynamoDB with Snowflake as our Data warehouse.
What you will bring to the role:

  • Extensive experience with AWS or other cloud-based architectures.
  • Expertise in JVM (Java, Kotlin) or similar programming languages.
  • Deep knowledge of distributed database and streaming architecture principles, with practical experience using technologies such as DynamoDB or Kafka.
  • Proven ability to architect and optimise systems for scalability and performance.
  • Demonstrated leadership in driving the delivery of complex technical projects.
  • Exceptional communication skills and a strategic, collaborative approach.
  • Ability to influence technology direction and decisions at the organisational level.

What We Do

Pioneering the online social gaming experience.

VGW started in 2010 in Perth, Australia with the vision of creating a virtual world with a focus on gaming and entertainment. After a few early iterations and continuous development, Chumba Casino was launched in 2012. Our Founder (Laurence Escalante) and a small team of innovative developers succeeded in incorporating our patented sweepstakes functionality into our casino gaming platform.

Since then, Chumba Casino has grown into a leading social gaming provider offering players a broad range of fun and engaging games. What started as a slots-only offering has grown to include a number of table games including black-jack and roulette.

In late 2016 we launched Global Poker – an online poker room based on VGW’s proprietary and patented sweepstake technology and are proud to claim is now the largest poker room in the United States.

VGW is a diverse company which believes in a work hard / play hard ethos. We now have over 700 of the world's best developers, designers, analysts and marketing professionals, with offices in Perth, Malta, Sydney, Manila, Toronto, and San Francisco.
