Software Architect

Funteron is an AI-powered sports engagement platform that enables trusted media brands to offer embedded odds comparison and betting experiences across multiple licensed sportsbook operators.
We are opening an office in Lviv, Ukraine and building our first team here.

This is a foundational leadership hire for our Lviv engineering team to shape architectural direction.

The Senior Software Architect will define and lead the technical architecture for our sports betting affiliate platform, covering player account systems, betting flows, trading integrations, and live operations. The role requires close collaboration with product, engineering, compliance and operations teams to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performing affiliate system.

Responsibilities

· Own the end-to-end architecture for the affiliate sportsbook platform capabilities, including account management, bonus engine, promotions, bet placement and third-party provider integrations.

· Design scalable and resilient services for high-throughput, real-time wagering workloads, with strong focus on uptime, latency, observability, and fault tolerance.

· Define architectural standards, development patterns, integration principles, and governance processes to ensure consistency, interoperability, and long-term maintainability across teams.

· Partner with compliance, legal, and security stakeholders to ensure the platform supports regulatory requirements, privacy, and operational auditability.

· Lead architecture reviews, proof-of-concepts, and technical discovery for new features, market launches, platform upgrades, and supplier integrations.

· Work with engineering leads and DevOps teams on CI/CD strategy, cloud architecture, release pipelines, monitoring, and incident readiness for live services.

· Identify technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and platform risks, then define practical remediation roadmaps.

· Mentor senior engineers and team leads through design reviews, peer collaboration, and technical coaching.

Required experience

· 8+ years in software engineering, with significant experience in architecture, staff, principal, or lead-level design roles on complex platforms.

· Strong experience in iGaming, sports betting, online casino, fintech, or another high-scale regulated transaction environment.

· Proven experience designing distributed systems, microservices, event-driven platforms, and real-time transaction flows.

· Hands-on knowledge of cloud-native architecture, including AWS, scalable APIs, messaging, monitoring, and secure deployment patterns.

· Solid understanding of sportsbook and gaming platform domains such as bet lifecycle, odds/trading integrations, wallet flows, payment processing, player segmentation, fraud, and responsible gaming controls.

· Strong knowledge of relational databases and SQL, plus experience with high-volume data platforms and system monitoring.

· Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and turn business needs into iterative technical delivery plans.

Preferred experience

· Experience with casino aggregation, PAM platforms, bonus engines, identity verification, KYC/AML controls, and fraud tooling.

· Familiarity with Kafka or similar streaming platforms, Kubernetes, and modern architectural patterns such as DDD, clean architecture, or hexagonal design.

· Experience launching or operating platforms across multiple markets with different regulatory requirements. The user has also been working on architecture-related org planning in a gaming context, so a cross-functional platform leadership angle may fit especially well here.
