About Us:
Easygo is a well-established tech scale up, we pride ourselves on being early adopters, progressive in our approach and adaptable to the ever-changing technology landscape. Our core focus is in the online gaming space building well-designed casino games, crypto platforms, and sportsbooks.

About our Development Team
We are a well-established scale-up, which has the budgets and toolings of a large corporate, whilst being dynamic and fast-paced. We aren’t afraid to be early adopters of things if it proves to work which is why we implemented Svelte, if you work for us there will be time allocated to your day to experiment with and learn new technologies. We have a unique culture in our development team where we don’t track time on tickets, we want people to produce the best possible code rather than the fastest. We aren’t bound by lots of red tape which allows us to deploy code quickly and often.
Our Tech Stack:
- Svelte amp; Svelte-kit
- Vite
- React.js
- Typescript
- Storybook
- Playwright
- GraphQL
And in case you are curious our backend is Node.Js, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS
Some of the problems we are solving:
- Operating at scale, as our customer base grows the load on our application increases keeping the product responsive and performant. What is scale? We have over 100M actions on our website a day.
- We are in the process of re-evaluating our approach to development teams with a move towards Cross-functional teams. This could be a great challenge for anyone interested in the human side of software development
- We are working on some industry-leading products for our sportsbook which we are hoping to be the first to market with. We’d love to tell you more, but we can’t right now.

We are pretty proud of our culture and the business we are building, and we hope you will love it as much as we do. We have a newly fitted out office with a full-time barista/kitchen manager, 2x games room, pool table/table tennis/darts, a balcony for BBQ’s in the summer, snacks/breakfast catering/a huge fridge full of drinks. On Fridays we all head to the pub together for lunch to celebrate our week, it is called Parma Friday’s, but parma’s are optional. We have massages on Wednesday. We do an annual company retreat where we get away together. Lots of ad-hoc celebrations and team activities. We have a wheel that is spun on Fridays that you can win prizes on, one of our team has won 2 new phones and a smartwatch.
Requirements:
We don’t believe the number of years of experience is a key factor in determining skill, so we don’t use this as a minimum requirement.
