pWe are seeking an iGaming Platform Quality Engineer to join our team on a contractual basis. The role is fully remote, with occasional travel required to our headquarters in Málaga, Spain. /ppbr/ppThis is 6 months extendable contract and applicants must operate through a fully registered limited company to be considered for this role. /ppbr/ppbTHE ROLE /b /ppbr/ppWe build the backend platforms and services that power our iGaming products and connect our games to operators, aggregators, suppliers, and other external partners. /ppAs an iGaming Platform Quality Engineer, you'll be embedded within our Backend Platform capability, owning quality across the lifecycle of platform services, common iGaming features, and operator and vendor integrations. /ppYou'll work at the intersection of backend engineering, platform architecture, product, integration engineering, and regulatory requirements — ensuring our services and integrations are functionally correct, resilient, scalable, observable, and production-ready. /ppbr/ppQuality is built in from the start. You'll work closely with engineers to define test strategies early, automate validation wherever practical, and establish quality gates that provide fast feedback throughout the SDLC. /ppbr/ppbWHAT YOU'LL DO /b /ppbr/pulliOwn test strategy and quality assurance for backend platform services, common iGaming capabilities, operator integrations, vendor/supplier integrations, and platform changes. /liliDesign and execute API, integration, end-to-end, regression, and contract testing across services and external integrations. /liliValidate common iGaming platform features such as game launch, session management, player authentication, wallet interactions, bet/win transactions, game configuration, limits, currencies, languages, and jurisdiction-specific behaviour /liliTest operator and aggregator integrations, validating request/response flows, authentication, configuration, error handling, transaction integrity, retries, idempotency, and integration-specific behaviour. /liliValidate third-party and vendor integrations, ensuring external dependencies behave correctly across happy paths, failure scenarios, degraded services, timeouts, and unexpected responses. /liliBuild and maintain automated API and integration regression suites using Playwright and other appropriate testing tools , providing rapid feedback on critical platform and integration journeys. /lili Work closely with developers to adopt a shift-left and zero-defect mindset, reviewing requirements, specifications, acceptance criteria, API contracts, and technical designs before implementation begins. /liliUse AI-assisted quality engineering to accelerate test strategy creation, test-case generation, automation, exploratory testing,



and defect/root-cause analysis while maintaining engineering judgement and appropriate validation. /liliValidate data integrity and transactional consistency across distributed services, particularly where player balances, bets, wins, refunds, rollbacks, or other financial transactions are involved. /liliTest platform resilience by validating scenarios including service failures, timeouts, retries, duplicate requests, partial failures, dependency failures, and recovery behaviour /liliSupport performance and scalability testing for critical APIs and platform services, identifying potential bottlenecks and degradation under load. /liliEnsure appropriate logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting exist for critical journeys so failures can be detected, diagnosed, and resolved effectively in production. /liliIntegrate automated tests and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines, defining clear pass/fail criteria for API, integration, regression, smoke, and other appropriate automated checks. /liliSupport release and production assurance through risk-based testing, pre-release validation, post-deployment sanity checks, and production verification /liliParticipate in architecture/design reviews, refinement, and planning, raising testability, operability, resilience, and quality concerns early and contributing to Definition of Done standards. /liliCollaborate with Engineering, Product, Service Operations, Compliance, operators, and external suppliers to investigate and resolve integration and production issues. /li /ulpbr/ppbREQUIRED SKILLS /b /ppbr/ppbCore Quality Engineering /b /pp Test Strategy · Risk-Based Testing · Regression Testing · Exploratory Testing · Defect Lifecycle · Root Cause Analysis · Shift-Left Quality /ppbr/ppbBackend API Testing /b /pp REST APIs · HTTP · JSON · API Contracts · Authentication · API Testing · Integration Testing · Contract Testing /ppbr/ppbAutomation /b /pp Playwright · API Automation · Integration Testing · Automated Regression · CI/CD Integration · Test Data Management · Mocking / Service Virtualisation /ppbr/ppbPlatform Engineering /b /pp Distributed Systems Fundamentals · Microservices · Databases · Messaging / Event-Driven Systems · Logging · Monitoring · Observability /ppbr/ppbiGaming Domain /b /pp Game Lifecycle · Player Sessions · Wallets · Bet/Win Transactions · Game Configuration · Operator Integrations · Aggregators / Suppliers · Regulatory Considerations /ppbr/ppbEngineering Practices /b /ppBDD · TDD Awareness · CI/CD · Shift-Left Testing · Zero-Defect Mindset · Agile Software Delivery /ppbr/ppbNICE TO HAVE /b /ppbr/pulliExperience testing backend platforms in bregulated iGaming, payments, fintech, or other high-transaction environments /b. /liliUnderstanding of iGaming wallet and transactional flows, including bdebit, credit, rollback, refunds, retries, duplicate transactions, and idempotency /b. /liliExperience with bcontract testing and API automation frameworks /b. /liliExperience testing bevent-driven architectures, queues, or messaging platforms /b. /liliKnowledge of bperformance/load testing /b and the ability to interpret service performance metrics. /liliExperience with cloud-based platforms and services such as bAWS /b. /liliUnderstanding of bobservability tooling /b, including logs, metrics, distributed tracing, dashboards, and alerting. /liliExperience working directly with boperators, aggregators, game suppliers, or other third-party integrations /b. /liliScripting or development experience in a language such as bJava, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or similar /b. /liliExperience applying bAI tools to quality engineering and test automation /b. /li /ulpbr/ppbWHO YOU ARE /b /ppbr/pullibQuality is an engineering responsibility to you /b — you don't see testing as something that happens after development is complete. /liliYou think beyond the happy path and naturally ask: bWhat happens if this service is unavailable?
