Location: Remote / Varna HQ Type: Full-Time Level: Senior / Principal Start Date: ASAP __________________________ About Us We’re a next-gen casino and slot game studio built on radical ownership, elite engineering, and bold creativity. Our matrix-based agile structure empowers small, autonomous teams (“Game Crews”) to deliver cutting-edge games that are beautiful, performant, and unforgettable. Behind the magic, we operate a sophisticated cloud-native platform designed for real-time performance, global scale, and ironclad resilience. As our Principal/Senior AWS Cloud Architect, you’ll own the cloud strategy, architecture, and execution that powers the core of our studio. This is not a maintenance job — this is a mission to build the most advanced, efficient, and scalable game backend infrastructure in the world. ____________________________________ What You'll Do

• Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of scalable, event-driven, low-latency backend systems on AWS.
• Own infrastructure-as-code practices across multiple environments using CDK and/or Terraform.
• Architect systems for game state handling, real-time messaging (WebSockets), multi-tenant support, and observability.
• Design secure, cost-efficient cloud infrastructure across networking, compute, storage, and APIs.
• Collaborate with Game Crews, Fullstack Engineers, and Data teams to ensure platform consistency, performance, and flexibility.
• Implement advanced monitoring, alerting, and incident response pipelines.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging AWS services to maintain technical edge and optimize platform operations.

________________________________________ Our Cloud Stack

• Compute: AWS Lambda (serverless-first), ECS Fargate (selective)
• Data: DynamoDB, Aurora (PostgreSQL), Redis, S3, Athena
• Messaging: API Gateway (REST & WebSocket), EventBridge, SQS, SNS
• Security & Access: IAM, WAF, Cognito, VPC, Secrets Manager
• IaC & DevOps: CDK, Cloudformation, GitHub Actions, Docker
• Observability: CloudWatch, Sentry, DataDog, custom dashboards

________________________________________ What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in cloud architecture, DevOps, or backend infrastructure — with at least 5 years of deep AWS expertise.
• Proven success in designing systems that serve millions of users or high-throughput transactional workloads.
• Mastery of serverless architectures, distributed design patterns, and multi-region deployments.
• Deep understanding of security, compliance, IAM policies, and cost control in cloud environments.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (CDK/Cloudformation) and CI/CD at scale.
• Strategic mindset — balancing speed, scalability, reliability, and developer ergonomics.
• Passion for elegant architectures, zero-downtime releases, and innovation over convention.

________________________________________ Why Join Us?

• Architect the core platform behind globally-distributed, real-time games.
• Be a strategic tech leader in a company where engineering is everything.
• Work with bleeding-edge cloud technologies and zero legacy burden.
• Remote-first, async-friendly culture built around autonomy and focus.
• Competitive salary, equity options, and high-impact bonus structure.
