iGaming platform and casino games serving 200+ operators across 26 regulated markets
Playson operates a distributed gaming platform built on Kubernetes, AWS, and polyglot services (Python, Node.js, Go) with heavy emphasis on observability (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack). The pain-point list—reducing latency, high-load system refactoring, availability optimization—and active infrastructure projects (EKS/K8s deployment, distributed system scaling) signal a company transitioning from monolith to cloud-native architecture under compliance pressure. Engineering hiring dominates (27 of 59 open roles across senior and lead levels), matching the scope of their platform modernization work.
