iGaming content platform: slots, live casino, bingo, and virtual sports
Pragmatic Play supplies games and content to regulated iGaming operators across 1,001–5,000 employees based in Gibraltar. The tech stack reveals a mature, multi-layered backend (Java/Spring, PostgreSQL, Oracle, RabbitMQ) paired with modern frontend tooling (React, TypeScript, Canvas), underpinned by Kubernetes and AWS infrastructure. Active pain points—Oracle-to-RDBMS migration, legacy code maintenance, query performance, and secure-by-design gaps—indicate a company scaling compliance and reliability across distributed product teams, with minimal recent hiring velocity despite 105 open roles.
