Hybrid model - x2 days a week on site Are you a engineering leader ready to shape the future of software solutions across backend and frontend domains? We're looking for SDE3's with 5+ years of experience in Java, complemented by working knowledge Angular In this influential role, as an SDE III, you'll bring your engineering depth into a new way of working. You won't just write code — you'll specify, orchestrate, validate, and ship with AI as your primary collaborator. You'll work in a small, mission-driven cross-functional team called a pod. This team consists of three functions: Product, Engineer, and Quality. The team has high agency, shared ownership, and no hand-offs. Reporting to the Tech Lead, you'll join the Product & Technology Team. Are you ready to be part of a team that's redefining how software gets built in an AI Native setup? Engineering Mindset — What We Look For We assess every candidate across six core dimensions: AI Fluency — AI is the primary way we engineer. You prompt, evaluate, iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice, not the default. Cross-Functional Versatility — "That's not my area" doesn't exist. You contribute beyond your discipline, share openly, and communicate clearly across formats. Customer and Value Awareness — Ask "why" and "for whom" before "how". Zoom out to see the business, zoom in to trace the bug. Map dependencies before you build. Craft — SOLID, DRY, separation of concerns, observability by default. Clean code, right-level testing, CI/CD as hygiene — whether a human or an agent wrote it. Technical Curiosity — Build a prototype and break it before reading the docs. Stay curious about how things work. Agency & Entrepreneurship — Don't wait for permission. Own outcomes end-to-end, make others successful, challenge the status quo. If you thrive in technical environments, are passionate about delivering excellence, and want to make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. What will you do Deliver against the pod's mission — own the full software delivery lifecycle including quality, from design through production and measurement. Operate in continuous flow (Kanban) — pull work, respect WIP limits, ship daily. Use AI agents as your primary delivery mechanism — code generation, testing, spec writing, deployment. Design, build, and debug software across backend and frontend with distributed systems awareness. Evaluate and tune agent workflows — steering docs, prompts, rules, skills. You improve the tools you use. Write clean, well-tested code and take ownership of quality end-to-end. Act as the initial on-call responder, ensuring health and stability of deployed applications. Mentor junior developers and contribute to shared tooling, knowledge bases, and the agent foundation kit. Must Have Proficiency in at least one of: Java/Spring Boot, Python, .NET, Go, and Angular and with the use of AI adopt other languages. Experience with engineering fundamentals: distributed systems, data structures, API design, database concepts, and cloud computing. Experience with clean code practices, TDD, CI/CD, and version control. Experience with application monitoring, observability, and production debugging. Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes, microservices, and event-driven architectures. Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (code generation, pair programming, automated testing). Experience with agent systems, MCP/tool protocols, or building AI-augmented workflows. Experience designing evaluation or observability strategies for AI outputs. Nice to Have Contributions to shared tooling, internal platforms, or open-source projects. Background in industries with strict regulatory requirements (gaming, financial services, healthcare). At Entain, we know that signing top players requires a great starting package, and plenty of support to inspire peak performance. Join us, and a competitive salary is just the beginning.
