Easygo is an Australian technology powerhouse behind global brands Stake, KICK, and Twist Gaming. Our products serve millions of users worldwide, supported by engineering teams solving complex challenges across scalability, reliability, security, and user experience.
As we continue to expand our engineering presence in Belgrade, we're looking for a Staff or Senior Backend Engineer to join a newly forming team responsible for building KICK's internal operations platform.
About the Team
This team will create the Admin systems that help internal teams work more efficiently, safely, and consistently at scale. This platform will support critical operational workflows across Kick, giving teams better ways to manage administration and moderation processes, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver high-quality support to users.
You will help shape the architecture, foundations, and development patterns for a platform that will be extended by teams across the engineering. The team will own the core experience, access model, shared standards, and integration patterns that allow product and engineering teams to contribute functionality in a controlled, consistent, and scalable way.
This is an opportunity to help build an important platform from the ground up and define how internal operational tooling at Kick evolves as the company grows.

- Shape and evolve platform capabilities from an early stage, making pragmatic technical decisions that support reliability, security, maintainability, and long-term growth.
- Take ownership of services throughout their lifecycle while ensuring high code quality, security, and maintainability.
- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and operational stakeholders, clearly communicating technical concepts, trade-offs, and progress.
- Work across different problem domains and projects over time, adapting to changing priorities and contributing to improvements of varying complexity based on business needs.
- Actively contribute as a team player, supporting others when needed, asking questions, and participating constructively in technical discussions and decision-making.
- Provide technical leadership through solution design, code reviews, and knowledge sharing, supporting the team's overall technical quality and consistency.
- Communicate effectively in written and spoken English, presenting ideas clearly to colleagues and stakeholders across the organisation.

- 7+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, focusing on scalable system design and development.
- Experience with Go, and familiarity with building and operating distributed systems, APIs, and shared services.
- Proven track record of designing and modernising systems with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and system optimisation.
- Experience contributing to technical direction through collaboration, design input, and mentorship when appropriate.
