About the Role
<p><em>About the Company</em></p>
<p>Founded in 2024, this fast-growing software company has already achieved profitability within its first year, launching its first slot game in February 2025. With an energetic team of 8 and ambitious plans to double in size over the next year, this is a business in true scale-up mode.</p>
<p>The culture is <strong>fast-paced, transparent, and outspoken</strong>. Everyone is treated as an equal, and the leadership team is open about how the business is performing.
