Senior Full-Stack Developer – AI-Native
Our client, an established company operating within the regulated iGaming industry, is looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join their team on a 100% remote, full-time B2B/contractor basis.
This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role for an experienced developer who can take full ownership of features from concept through to production. The environment combines PHP/Laravel, React/TypeScript and browser-based game development, with AI tools forming an integral part of the development workflow.
The successful candidate will be expected not only to use AI-assisted development tools effectively, but also to critically review, validate and challenge AI-generated code before it reaches production.
Responsibilities
Develop and deliver full-stack features end-to-end, covering backend APIs, frontend development, databases and deployment.
Build and maintain backend functionality using PHP/Laravel.
Develop frontend applications using React and TypeScript.
Work with browser-based/canvas games using technologies such as PixiJS, Three.js or equivalent WebGL frameworks.
Work with MySQL and Redis within a production environment.
Develop and maintain REST APIs and contribute to a multi-service architecture.
Investigate production issues independently, moving from logs and symptoms through to root-cause identification.
Translate acquisition, retention and product requirements into reliable features for a regulated, real-money environment.
Work with cloud infrastructure, including GCP services, Docker and Terraform.
Use AI development tools and agents as part of the daily engineering workflow for areas such as scaffolding, refactoring and navigating unfamiliar codebases.
Thoroughly review and validate AI-generated code to ensure the same standards are applied as with manually written code.
Maintain clean, tested and maintainable code while continuously improving overall code quality.
Keep technical and service documentation accurate and up to date.
Use AI tools efficiently, with appropriate attention to prompt scope and cost control.
Requirements
Several years of senior-level software development experience, with proven ownership of production features from start to finish.
Strong hands-on experience with PHP and Laravel.
Strong experience with React and TypeScript.
Experience with PixiJS, Three.js or similar WebGL/canvas technologies would be highly advantageous.
Production experience with MySQL and Redis.
Experience with GCP or an equivalent cloud platform, including containers, managed databases, secrets and IAM.
Comfortable reading and working with Terraform.
Experience working within large or multi-service codebases.
AI-assisted development should already form a meaningful part of the candidate's day-to-day development workflow.
Strong understanding of how to review, test and validate AI-generated code rather than relying on generated output without verification.
Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of complex technical problems.
Curious, collaborative and pragmatic approach to software development.
Previous experience within iGaming or another regulated real-money environment would be considered a strong advantage, although it is not essential.
