At Bellota Labs, we’re building the next generation of interactive gaming experiences. Our newest product, WPTHome, is redefining how players engage with the World Poker Tour by creating a connected, engaging platform that brings the excitement and community of poker beyond the table. As a fast-growing startup backed by the World Poker Tour, we’re driven by innovation, world-class product development, and a passion for delivering exceptional player experiences.

We’re looking for a Senior/Principal Software Engineer to join our team and play a key role in shaping the architecture, design, and development of WPTHome. You’ll work alongside a talented engineering organization to build scalable systems, solve complex technical challenges, and help define the future of our platform. If you’re excited by the opportunity to build a product from the ground up and make a meaningful impact in a high-growth environment, we’d love to meet you.

Why this role is worth your time

What you'll do

What we're looking for

• 5+ years building and shipping production software; senior-level ownership of non-trivial systems.
• Real full-stack range: strong in a client stack and in backend services (you don't need both to be Unity/C#, but you must be able to go deep on the client and the server).
• Hands-on with C# and/or Unity, or a track record that makes picking them up fast credible (strong C++/game-client, graphics, or real-time systems background).
• Experience with real-time / low-latency or high-concurrency systems (multiplayer netcode, streaming, matchmaking, trading, or similar).
• Comfort operating what you build: testing, observability, incident response.
• Domain: poker, casino, social-casino, or real-money / iGaming / sweepstakes experience.
• Live-ops / games-as-a-service: shipping to a live audience with feature flags, staged rollouts, and A/B testing.
• Client depth: Unity performance profiling, memory/thermal optimization, or Electron desktop packaging.
• Real-time systems: multiplayer netcode, matchmaking, or state sync at scale.
• Data / eventing: Kafka / Kinesis pipelines; hand-history, telemetry, or analytics work.
• Infra / CD: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Jenkins.
• Regulated domain: payments (PSP routing), KYC, geo-compliance, or fraud/integrity systems.
• You're a poker player.

If you are excited to be part of a fast-growing team that is redefining the online gaming experience, we would love to hear from you. Join us at Bellota Labs and help shape the future of gaming innovation!
