About the role

As a fast-growing startup backed by the World Poker Tour, we're driven by innovation, world-class product development, and a passion for delivering exceptional player experiences.
Why this role is worth your time - Real product, real stakes, real players.
Your code ships to players multi-tabling for real prizes. - Genuinely hard engineering.

Design and evolve real-time, low-latency services for gameplay: table state, matchmaking, tournament flows, wallet/ledger, and event streaming.
Partner on fairness, integrity, and anti-cheat - RNG correctness, hand-history accuracy, and the analytics pipeline that watches for anomalies.
Build for a regulated, real-money context: work cleanly alongside payments, KYC, and geo-compliance systems without letting that complexity leak into gameplay.
Raise the engineering bar: reviews, testing, observability, and on-call for the surfaces you own.
5+ years building and shipping production software
Comfort operating what you build: testing, observability, incident response.
You'll work alongside a talented engineering organization to build scalable systems, solve complex technical challenges, and help define the future of our platform.
If you're excited by the opportunity to build a product from the ground up and make a meaningful impact in a high-growth environment, we'd love to meet you.

Real full-stack range: strong in a client stack and in backend services (you don't need both to be Unity/C#, but you must be able to go deep on the client and the server).
Hands-on with C# and/or Unity, or a track record that makes picking them up fast credible (strong C++/game-client, graphics, or real-time systems background).
Experience with real-time / low-latency or high-concurrency systems (multiplayer netcode, streaming, matchmaking, trading, or similar).
strong in a client stack and in backend services (you don't need both to be Unity/C#, but you must be able to go deep on the client and the server).

What we're looking for
At Bellota Labs, we're building the next generation of interactive gaming experiences.
Our newest product, WPTHome, is redefining how players engage with the World Poker Tour by creating a connected, engaging platform that brings the excitement and community of poker beyond the table.
We're looking for a Senior/Principal Software Engineer to join our team and play a key role in shaping the architecture, design, and development of WPTHome.
ClubWPT Gold is a live, real-money (sweepstakes) poker + casino platform under the WPT brand - not a prototype.
We're mid-way through decoupling our platform into clean, independently-shippable services and a new back-office - so a senior engineer has room to set patterns, not just fill tickets.
