Shape the world's top horse racing betting platform

The Wow

Join a team of 12 building RaceBets - a global horse racing product used by millions. We're looking for a product-minded backend developer who ships high-quality features, not just endpoints - someone who asks why, owns outcomes, and cares about correctness in a real-money system. Betting, settlements, payments, and partner integrations - where reliability and performance directly affect the business.

A taste of what you will be involved with:

REST APIs and backend services in PHP 8+ for our web and B2B platforms

Feature ownership end-to-end: requirements → implementation → test → release

Performance, architecture, security, and SQL in a high-traffic, SQL-first codebase

Third-party integrations (payments, data feeds, partners)

AI tools to move faster without cutting corners

(~15%) occasional Java (BetX) - debugging and integration across the PHP/Java boundary

(Growth) Vue 3 / TypeScript if you want to grow full stack

What we are looking for

Strong PHP 8+, REST APIs, and SQL in production

Automated testing and a high quality bar

Product mindset - clarify requirements, push back when needed, care about outcomes

Self-starter who collaborates well in a small team

Mid-level or senior - we care more about mindset and craft than years

Bonus: Java, Vue/TS, betting/fintech, Symfony components

Why join us

RaceBets: High ownership and direct impact - mostly PHP, with room to grow into Java or frontend.

What we offer

Much like riding a rollercoaster, sometimes life at Betsson can be lightning fast with twists and turns but always FUN! Then again, what else would you expect from a business 75% millennial and 1700 strong, spread across 7 offices with 900 based out of our Malta HQ alone! We recognise it may not be for the faint-hearted, but if you’re a go-getter, initiator and adrenaline junkie, always striving to push the boundaries and challenge yourself, then you’ll fit right in.

Challenge accepted?
