Application Development Engineer

 Join INTRALOT as an Application Development Engineer – innovation and collaboration

At INTRALOT, we shape the future of gaming through innovation and technology. Our global presence, diverse culture, and dynamic teams set the foundation for a people-first strategy. We're looking for an Application Development Engineer. Are you a passionate professional ready to take the next step in your career? At Intralot Canada we're transforming the gaming industry with scalable, reliable, and cutting-edge systems. Here's your chance to make a difference and grow with a dynamic team that thrives on innovation and collaboration.

Your Role:

As an Application Development Engineer, you'll be part of the team behind always-on, high-performance gaming platforms. You will help evolve and extend existing deployed services, ensuring gameplay is seamless, integrations are reliable, and new features connect smoothly across internal and external systems — no matter how intense the action gets.

You will operate inside a fully automated, cloud-native environment, working closely with DevOps and Platform teams, using GitOps, CI/CD, and observability to safely deliver application and integration changes to production.

Every enhancement you build directly improves the gaming experience.

Develop & Evolve Deployed Gaming Services

• Design, implement, and enhance application services running in production gaming environments, with a strong focus on stability, backward compatibility, and safe change.

• Extend existing services to support new integrations, features, and data flows without disrupting live operations.

Build and Support Integrations

• Develop and maintain service integrations using REST APIs, asynchronous messaging, and event-driven patterns.

• Work with Kafka-based pipelines and other messaging systems to support real-time game events, transactional flows, and operational integrations.

• Ensure integration reliability through proper error handling, retries, and versioning strategies.

Deliver Code Safely in a Cloud-Native Environment

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy application code using Git-based workflows.

• Support controlled rollout strategies (canary, blue/green) in collaboration with DevOps teams to minimize risk in live gaming systems.

Operate Applications on AWS & Kubernetes

• Develop and support applications deployed on AWS and Kubernetes-based platforms.

• Understand how application design impacts scalability, resilience, and performance under peak gaming loads.

Configuration, Automation & IaC Awareness

• Work with infrastructure and configuration defined as code (Terraform, Helm, Ansible), focusing on application configuration, environment-specific settings, and integration parameters.

• Collaborate with platform teams to ensure application requirements are correctly reflected in infrastructure and deployment templates.

Observe, Learn & Improve

• Use observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK) to monitor application behavior, integration health, and data flows.

• Participate in incident analysis, root-cause investigations, and continuous improvement aligned with SRE principles.

Collaborate to Shape the Gaming Experience

• Work closely with DevOps, Platform, Security, and Game Development teams to deliver reliable features and integrations.

• Contribute to shared standards around APIs, integrations, deployment practices, and operational readiness.

What You'll Bring

Education

• A College Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.

Core Experience

• 3+ years in application development, backend engineering, or DevOps-adjacent roles supporting production systems.

• Experience working with existing, live applications rather than greenfield-only development.

Technical Skills

• Strong development experience in Java, Python, or similar backend languages.

• Experience building and consuming REST APIs and integrating with external or internal systems.

• Familiarity with event-driven or messaging-based systems (Kafka, queues, streams).

• Comfort working with CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and automated deployments.

• Working knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes from an application developer's perspective.

• Awareness of IaC and automation tools (Terraform, Helm, Ansible) and how applications fit into them.

• Ability to read logs, metrics, and traces using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK.

Mindset Fit for Gaming

• Passion for building reliable, real-time systems that support uninterrupted gameplay.

• Strong sense of ownership for application behavior in production.

• Curious about how integrations, infrastructure, and automation influence application design.

Excellent communicator in English (Fluent/Native) and French (Fluent/optional), comfortable collaborating across technical teams in a fast-paced gaming environment. Ready to make your next career move?
