We're the commercial platform helping Gaming companies build capability and make better decisions - and for 25 years, the leading recruitment consultancy in Gaming, having placed over 14,000 candidates in casino and sports betting jobs worldwide.
The Role
You'll own the data lake — the system of record for millions of financial events a day across million of active users. You decide how that data lands, is stored, retained, and governed on S3 + Snowflake/Databricks, so analytics, finance, and regulators all see accurate, reconciled data with zero drift from source.
What you'll be doing
? Own the lakehouse architecture: bronze/silver/gold layers, Iceberg/Delta tables, schema evolution.
? Land operational data via CDC streaming (Kafka, Debezium), handling late and duplicate events.
? Design data layout for speed and cost: partitioning, compaction, file sizing, query performance on Trino/Athena/Snowflake.
? Own retention and archival: storage tiering, regulatory retention, immutability, GDPR deletion.
? Guarantee correctness: freshness SLAs, drift detection, reconciliation against the source wallet and ledger systems.
? Own governance: catalog and lineage, row/column access control, PII masking, encryption, audit trails.
? Monitor ingestion health, data anomalies, and cloud storage/compute spend.
What we're looking for
? 3+ years in data engineering, with real ownership of a large-scale data lake or lakehouse.
? Cloud object storage (S3/GCS) plus Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery in production.
? Hands-on with an open table format (Iceberg, Delta, or Hudi).
? Deep understanding of partitioning, file layout, and query optimization at terabyte-plus scale.
? CDC and streaming ingestion experience (Kafka + Debezium or equivalent).
? Strong SQL and data modeling; enough relational grounding to reason about the OLTP systems you capture from — critical for financial ledgers.
? Data lake governance: catalogs, lineage, access control, PII, retention.
? Python and an orchestrator (Airflow/Dagster) as tools — this is an architecture and ownership role, not heads-down coding.
? Nice to have: fintech, iGaming, or another regulated, audit-heavy environment.

They’re looking for senior sales leaders - from Sales Managers through Head of Sales / CSO level - who have demonstrable platform sales experience and a track record of staying and growing within roles.
Why this opportunity stands out:
True market opportunity: The company operates in a fast-growing niche (sweeps and prediction markets) with strong product-market fit and clear European expansion plans.

Remote-friendly: Fully remote role (must be based in Europe) with frequent cross-border collaboration and regional autonomy.

Proven platform sellers: Direct experience selling technology/platform solutions into iGaming operators, affiliates, or platform partners.

Commercial and strategic mindset: Comfortable owning end-to-end sales cycles, negotiating complex deals, and helping shape go-to-market strategy.
Europe-based: The role is remote but requires residency in Europe and familiarity with European operator markets and regulations.
Compensation & Package:

Performance-driven bonuses and commission structure with meaningful upside for top performers.

Head of Fraud
Location: Remote
Reporting to: CEO
The Role
An iGaming business is looking for an experienced Head of Fraud to lead its fraud, KYC, AML and Responsible Gambling functions.
This is a hands-on, commercially focused leadership role, particularly suited to someone with strong crypto and iGaming experience who understands the behaviour of crypto-native players.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the overall fraud prevention, detection and investigation strategy.
Monitor and manage risks
Oversee crypto transactions, withdrawals, wallets
Lead risk-based KYC and support the ongoing AML framework alongside the MLRO.
Oversee Responsible Gambling controls and intervention processes.
Work closely with Product, Marketing, VIP and Customer Support
Build, manage and develop the Fraud team
About You
6+ years' experience in fraud leadership, ideally within iGaming, crypto or fintech.
Strong, genuine understanding of crypto
Proven experience leading fraud detection, prevention and investigations.
Good knowledge of KYC, AML and Responsible Gambling.
Commercially minded,
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, remote environment and partnering directly with senior leadership.
A group of industry veterans are about to launch an exciting iGaming company and wish to employ a Compliance Operations Manager working on Malta but remotely.
Why this role is different:
Most compliance roles are a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, and a quarterly scramble before an audit. This one isn't. They are building an AI-native control environment where obligations, evidence, monitoring and reporting live in the same system as the product itself, and the engineering team that built it sits next to you and builds what you specify. Instead of manually sampling transactions, you design the controls that watch every one. Instead of chasing screenshots for an audit, evidence is captured continuously as a by-product of how the platform runs. Instead of writing a policy that gathers dust, you encode They have an appointed compliance contact for the regulator who works with us one day a week and holds that named role; everything the function does between those days is yours, and the day-to-day operation of compliance is what they are hiring for. This is a build-the-function role, not a maintain-the-function role, with a clear path to Head of Compliance as they add markets.
What you'll do:
Own day-to-day regulatory compliance across our licensed entities - with our first regulated brand going live shortly, this starts hands-on and fast.
Translate regulatory obligations into concrete, testable controls: map requirements to systems, owners and evidence, and keep that map current as both regulation and product change.
Partner with engineering and product to further design compliance into the platform - responsible gambling tooling, self-exclusion integrations, player protection limits, advertising and bonus rules, game and supplier certification.
Run AML/CTF operations: risk assessment, transaction monitoring rules and tuning, escalation, suspicious transaction reporting, and record-keeping.
Draft and maintain policies, procedures and internal controls that people actually follow - and that survive external audit.
Review marketing, promotions and product changes pre-launch, and give clear, fast answers on what ships and what doesn't.
Support licensing and market-entry work as we expand into additional regulated jurisdictions.
What you'll bring:
5+ years in compliance, regulatory affairs or risk within online gaming, payments, or another regulated financial services environment, with at least 2 running compliance day to day.
Working knowledge of at least one serious regulated gaming regime - Ontario (AGCO/iGO), MGA, UKGC or comparable - and the judgment to learn the next one quickly.
Real AML/CTF experience: risk assessments, monitoring rules and tuning, escalation, and reporting.
Genuine interest in using automation and AI to do this job better. You don't need to write code, but you should want to design systems rather than operate manually.
Based on Malta
