Platform Architect

Welcome to KTO Group, where innovation drives excitement in iGaming. Founded in 2018 by Andreas Bardun, we’re transforming online gaming with a focus on transparency and player satisfaction.

At KTO.com, we blend the thrill of sports betting with online casino entertainment, tailored to local markets and powered by our proprietary platform for a seamless, personalized experience.

KTO is a rising leader in LATAM, proudly ranked among Brazil’s top 10 iGaming brands. Join us as we set new standards in trust, innovation, and the future of iGaming.

We are investing in the next generation of our platform: a new real-time, event-driven foundation that will change how KTO understands and serves its players. This role is its first dedicated hire — the Platform Architect who lays the foundation everything else will be built on.

Most of what happens on a sportsbook and casino is understood after the fact. We want to change that. We are building an event-driven platform that captures what is happening across our products as it happens, and a decision layer on top of it that lets KTO respond to players in real time.

This is not a maintenance role and it is not a seat on an existing team. You are engineer #1 on a foundation-level project with executive sponsorship. You work in a tight loop with the project lead and you own the technical architecture end to end. You stay hands-on all the way to production. You're expected to move fast, including by pairing heavily with AI tools for day-to-day engineering work — this isn't a nice-to-have here, it's how the early build actually happens with a team this size.

• Fluent English, with strong written and verbal communication — you'll work directly with senior leadership.
• Real-time systems architecture knowledge — non-negotiable.
• Production experience building and operating event-driven systems (Kafka or similar), including debugging and fixing real incidents.
• Experience owning schema and data contracts as long-lived interfaces other teams depend on.
• Hands-on experience with stream processing and low-latency state: out-of-order events, exactly-once delivery, cancellable timers.
• Experience building or integrating rules, decisioning, or real-time personalisation systems.
• Track record of making architecture decisions under uncertainty.
• Curiosity and a self-starter mindset.

At KTO, diversity isn't just a buzzword – it's our strength. We're all about creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. Together, we're not just working on projects – we're making a real impact in our communities. Join us in celebrating diversity and driving meaningful change!
