AWS-native sports betting platform engineering at scale
Grand Parade builds high-volume betting and gaming products processing 160TB of data daily on a fully AWS infrastructure (ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, Kinesis). The tech stack is heavily JavaScript/TypeScript + React on the frontend with Node.js backend, paired with Docker/Kubernetes and comprehensive observability (New Relic, Splunk, Prometheus). Active projects around fraud prevention, trading platforms, and infrastructure-as-code reveal an organization wrestling with reliability and scalability—pain points explicitly cited include production incidents, stress-testing failures, and resilience gaps. Hiring remains engineering-focused and senior-weighted, concentrated in Krakow.
Grand Parade is a product engineering company within 888 William Hill, a global betting and gaming operator. Based in Krakow, the team builds consumer-facing mobile and web products used by tens of millions of users weekly. The engineering organization spans backend systems handling massive data throughput, frontend development across frameworks, QA automation, and infrastructure teams. Beyond typical services work, the company runs internal platform initiatives—automation tooling, CI/CD pipelines, fraud detection systems—and is actively developing AI governance standards across teams. Scale and reliability are operational priorities given the betting domain's uptime requirements.
