BACKEND ENGINEER - TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT (LIEGE-BELGIUM)

A Backend Engineer at Gaming1 maximizes customer and business value through high-quality, user-centric product experiences.

Engineers operate within small, autonomous product engineering teams in a high-traffic, regulated environment, where decisions directly impact platform stability, customer trust, compliance, and time-to-market.

Because teams are intentionally small and product-oriented, Engineers are expected to be wide in their skillset, flexible in scope, and comfortable collaborating across disciplines. Backend work is not always isolated from product, operational, or cross-team concerns — success comes from end-to-end ownership and shared accountability, not role silos.

This role is part of a broader Product Engineering culture focused on autonomy, short feedback loops, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

YOUR ROLE

• As a Backend Engineer, your mission is to design, build, and evolve backend solutions that power customer experiences and business capabilities in a reliable and sustainable way.
• You do this by:
• owning solutions across their lifecycle — from design and implementation to release, monitoring, and iterative improvement,
• collaborating closely with Product Managers, Frontend Engineers, and other stakeholders,
• applying strong backend craftsmanship while keeping product impact, reliability, and compliance front of mind,
• continuously improving systems, practices, tooling, and ways of working.
• Your autonomy, scope, and influence are driven by your career ladder level, not by the job title alone.

YOUR PROFILE

• Experience as a Backend Engineer in product-oriented environments, ideally at scale and/or in regulated contexts
• Strong backend fundamentals: API design, data modeling, testing, performance, resilience and operability
• Hands-on experience with .NET (C#) and backend services, including event-driven architectures (e.g. RabbitMQ, NServiceBus)
• Solid experience with relational databases, particularly PostgreSQL, and production systems
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS) and services such as S3
• Ability to own solutions end-to-end, from design to production and continuous improvement
• Product-minded, collaborative, and comfortable working in small, autonomous, cross-functional teams
• Strong sense of ownership, pragmatism, and continuous learning mindset
