Mr Who?
MrQ - we're an award-winning online casino launched in 2018. We’re big on tech, performance, and creating a best-in-class player experience. Our growth has been rapid, and we’re building a platform that can scale globally—this requires engineers who can operate at both depth and system-wide impact.
We’re looking for a Senior Java Backend Developer (Level 4) to join our engineering team in a hybrid role (UK – St Albans, Malta, or Gibraltar).
What You Will Do
- Develop and maintain our gambling platform in a continuous delivery environment using various open-source technologies.
- Understand how the various parts of our ecosystem come together to provide an entertaining experience to our players.
- Collaborate closely with software architects, product owners, and stakeholders to gather requirements, analyse user needs, and define the technical specifications for new features and projects, with a high degree of ownership.
- Communicate with third parties to implement APIs and integrations with services that enhance our platform.
- Become a part of our engineering team, with a say in our engineering culture, and the ability to learn from other members of the team, while sharing your knowledge with the group.
What We're Looking For
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- A team player with excellent communication and collaboration skills that demonstrates critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and able to manage their time.
- 5+ years of in-depth practical experience with Java and Spring. Knowledge of other JVM-based languages, especially Kotlin is a plus.
- Solid understanding of web application architecture and microservices.
- Familiarity with the technologies in our stack, including Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes, and AWS.
- Practical experience with MongoDB would be considered an advantage.
- Familiarity with observability/monitoring tools, including Grafana.
- An understanding of Autonomous Agents, especially Claude, plus a willingness to adopt and experiment with these in your role.
- Passion in the eyes and swiftness in the fingers ;)
