Job Title: Backend Developer – Casino Platform (Node.js, Prisma, Redis, WebSockets)

My client is building a fast, reliable online casino backend that handles real-time gameplay and high-frequency money transactions — think thousands of players, super low latency, and rock-solid data integrity.

We want a backend developer who knows Node.js well, has hands-on Prisma and Redis experience, and is comfortable working with WebSockets for real-time multiplayer and betting features. This is a long-term role — we want someone to grow with us and really own this core part of the platform.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain a backend codebase in Node.js that power gameplay and transactions.
• Handle real-time communication using WebSockets for live games and bets.
• Manage database work with Prisma ORM and write optimized queries.
• Use Redis for caching, pub/sub, session handling, and rate limiting.
• Keep performance tight for thousands of users online at once.
• Ensure data integrity — no room for errors when money’s involved!
• Work closely with game devs, frontend, and DevOps to keep things running smoothly.
• Write solid tests and keep an eye on system health.

What you need:

• Strong Node.js skills and async programming know-how.
• Experience with WebSockets (socket.io, ws, or native).
• Good Prisma ORM and SQL database knowledge (Postgres/MySQL).
• Redis experience for caching and real-time pub/sub.
• Understanding of transactional systems, concurrency, and race conditions.
• Ability to write clean, testable, and efficient code.
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-load environment is a big plus.
