Job Description

Software Mind develops solutions that make an impact for companies around the globe. Tech giants & unicorns, transformative projects, emerging technologies and limitless opportunities – these are a few words that describe an average day for us. Building cross-functional engineering teams that take ownership and crave more means we’re always on the lookout for talented people who bring passion and creativity to every project. Our culture embraces openness, acts with respect, shows grit & guts and combines employment with enjoyment.

Project – the aim you’ll have

Our client is a gaming company established to reform the national gaming system. Operating under the principle of exclusivity, its mission is to provide games responsibly, mitigate gambling-related risks, and ensure player protection while preventing fraud.

The project involves developing a highly available, low-latency service that integrates with the front-end, the content management system (CMS), and a recommendation engine.

The outcome will be a REST API capable of delivering a personalized front-end layout configuration to each end customer in real time.

Position – how you’ll contribute

In this role, you will collaborate cross-functionally within the company to define an appropriate CMS structure and support front-end integrations together with the relevant development teams.

The work builds upon an existing PoC implementation. Understanding both the implementation and the underlying concepts may require a basic data science background. As the objective includes defining front-end layout configurations, familiarity with modern front-end development practices will be highly beneficial for effective communication regarding the front-end and CMS system.

The core algorithms are provided by the data science team. Experience with data science-related development will support effective collaboration and a deeper understanding of the recommendation model.

Expectations – the experience you need

• Strong knowledge of the Python data science stack (NumPy, etc.)
• Experience in Python REST API development using FastAPI or similar frameworks
• Hands-on experience with Redis
• Practical experience with Docker
• Experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Full-stack understanding, including integration between front-end and back-end systems
• Ability and proven experience in building high-availability back-end systems

Additional skills – the edge you have

• Understanding of digital marketplace personalization
• Experience with content management systems (e.g., Drupal)
• Familiarity with front-end development for web and native iOS/Android applications
• Basic understanding of front-end design principles
• Ability to evaluate recommendation system performance, for example through A/B testing using statistical methods
