// Open Role at Evolution
Join Evolution to build a new, high-performance backend platform from first principles, focusing on modern technologies and solving complex engineering challenges for real-money transactions in a global live casino environment.
We’re building something new within Evolution.
This is not a role focused on maintaining mature systems or working inside a fixed technical setup. It is an opportunity to help build a new platform from first principles, using modern backend technologies to solve hard engineering problems under real production constraints.
The system we’re building will operate across regions and process thousands of real-money transactions per second with strict consistency guarantees. Low latency, correctness, performance, and security are not things we optimise for later. They are design constraints from day one.
We are looking for software engineers who want to work close to the core of the platform: backend services, event-driven systems, databases, and performance-critical product flows.
What You’ll Work With
You will work with technologies such as:
You do not need to be an expert in every technology from day one, but you should have strong backend engineering fundamentals and a serious interest in building reliable distributed systems using this type of stack.

Our benefits are
This is a 100% on-site position. Based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Build backend services and platform components using Java and Spring Boot. Design and implement APIs, data models, internal tools, and product-facing systems. Work with Kafka-based event-driven architecture and high-throughput transaction flows. Build systems using PostgreSQL, focusing on performance, correctness, and observability. Develop services designed to run in a modern containerised environment. Contribute to technical decisions around consistency, latency, scalability, reliability, and security. Write clear, maintainable, well-tested code with a strong focus on robustness. Participate in code reviews, system design discussions, and technical trade-off decisions. Possess strong computer science fundamentals and comfort working with backend systems and databases. Ability to reason clearly about correctness, concurrency, performance, and system design. Interest in distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and production-grade engineering. Quick learner, ambitious, self-driven, and motivated to grow in a high-performing engineering environment, desiring to work in a small team with high standards and direct technical feedback. Experience with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker, or other similar technologies is a plus. Internship experience or a few years of software engineering experience in a technically demanding environment preferred.
