In-house game development and bingo platform for online gaming
tombola designs, builds, and operates its own game portfolio across bingo, slots, and casino verticals—a rare in-house model that explains the engineering-heavy hiring mix (16 engineers across 37 open roles) and the stack shape: JavaScript/TypeScript front-end with C#/Java/Node.js back-end, AWS infrastructure, and real-time streaming (WebSockets, Kinesis, Apache Airflow). The company is adopting Alation for data governance while tackling decoupling and observability, suggesting a scaling challenge as game proliferation outpaces platform flexibility.
