Principal Architect - Building the Future of Gaming

Ready to Architect Gaming History?

Want to design the technical backbone that will scale regulated online gaming from 18 states to nationwide domination? As our Principal Architect , you're not just drawing system diagrams—you're architecting the platform that millions of players will experience, solving technical challenges that don't have textbook answers.

This is where complex business problems meet innovative technical solutions. You'll work directly with our leadership team to transform "what if we could..." dreams into "here's exactly how we build it" realities. Every architecture decision you make shapes how we compete in the massive, virtually uncontested regulated gaming market.

Think of yourself as the technical visionary who takes our bold gaming ambitions and makes them technically bulletproof, scalable, and ready for the big leagues.

What You'll Build and Shape

Design Gaming-Scale Architecture

  • Dream up solutions for technical challenges that the gaming industry hasn't solved yet
  • Architect end-to-end systems that can handle massive player loads across regulated markets
  • Decompose complex problems into elegant, scalable solutions that engineering teams love to build
  • Document and evolve our platform architecture as we scale from startup to industry leader
  • Create visual stories through diagrams that make complex systems understandable to everyone from engineers to executives

Lead the Technology Evolution

  • Research and evaluate emerging technologies that could give us competitive advantages
  • Drive prototype development and proof-of-concepts that validate new architectural approaches
  • Make strategic technology choices that balance innovation with business needs
  • Stay ahead of the curve on performance, scalability, and enterprise architecture trends
  • Lead technical discussions that help the team adopt new technologies confidently

    • Master System Integration

  • Integrate complex subsystems into cohesive gaming environments that just work
  • Design deployment strategies that minimize disruption while maximizing capability
  • Collaborate with operations to automate and streamline how we ship new features
  • Ensure compatibility across our multi-vendor, multi-platform gaming ecosystem

    • Optimize for Gaming Performance

  • Analyze system performance and eliminate bottlenecks before players notice them
  • Implement monitoring solutions that catch issues before they impact the gaming experience
  • Develop best practices for capacity planning, load balancing, and disaster recovery
  • Balance technical excellence with business judgment to make smart architectural trade-offs

    • Enable Cross-Team Success

  • Translate business requirements into technical architecture that engineering teams can execute
  • Communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Share deep technical knowledge across multiple teams to increase overall productivity
