Job description
ZEAL Network SE is a dynamic, international group of companies that has been creating exciting and innovative lottery experiences for over 20 years. As Germany’s largest provider of online lotteries through our brands LOTTO24 and Tipp24, and a trusted partner of Spain’s ONCE, the second-largest national lottery, we’re shaping the future of the lottery industry. We are passionate about driving innovation, as demonstrated by our newest brands, Freiheit+ and Traumhausverlosung, which bring fresh and exciting dreams to life. Additionally, through ZEAL Ventures, we invest in inspiring e-commerce start-ups like Omaze and DAYMADE, fueling fresh ideas and opportunities. Our team of 350+ professionals from diverse backgrounds is united by a visionary mindset, a passion for collaboration, and a commitment to inspire dreams. At ZEAL, we empower our people to think ambitiously and work together toward a shared purpose: helping people imagine and achieve their aspirations.
As a (Senior) Quality Engineer (f/m/d) in our Backoffice Team, you will help shape a new internal platform used across ZEAL to support business-critical operational workflows.
You will join a small cross-functional team and have a high level of ownership from the start. The Backoffice integrates with a wide range of backend services and supports workflows that can have financial, operational and compliance impact. Your work will directly influence how confidently and quickly we can deliver new functionality.
This is an engineering-focused quality role. You will work directly in the application codebase alongside the engineers and build the tooling, infrastructure and automated feedback loops that help the team ship safely at high speed.
