Introducing our partner: Paf

Paf is an international gaming company based on the Åland Islands. We are an award-winning industry leader in responsible gaming and our mission is crystal clear: to generate profits for the benefit of society by connecting the dots between entertainment and daily life.

Our staff form the very core of our company and our philosophy is that an inspiring working environment goes hand in hand with being able to offer the best customer experience possible. Our culture and values make up the collective personality of our organisation which is what ultimately sets us apart, defines who we are and shapes our aspirations. To us, sustainable growth means emphasizing customer satisfaction and promoting healthy gaming habits – this is why responsible gaming is the backbone of everything we do. 

Ownership, freedom and support

The development process at Paf is based around autonomy and support. We value experience and show our trust by letting teams take ownership of their services, allowing for quick changes and for technology choices to be made directly within the team. Additionally, we promote continuous delivery and allow teams to deploy their own code when they feel ready and support a polyglot echo system where the task defines what tools we use, not the other way around. All teams, if they wish, will receive their own AWS accounts and are supported by our dedicated in-house AWS solutions engineer. We ensure quality and security by taking a DevSecOps approach, encourage pair programming and GitOps and have all of our infrastructure as code, running cloud native serverless services.

You’ll be a driving force in the design, monitoring and implementation of our platforms. The goal is to establish a smooth deployment and data flow to ensure safe financial transactions and adherence to all international regulations we operate under. We own the entire development life cycle – from analysis and design to development and testing. 

The road to personal growth and learning

Your personal development is important to us. To make sure you always feel on top of your game, we arrange both in-house and external training and provide access to E-learning platforms. Hackathons, meetups and other events are organized on a regular basis and we also offer the opportunity to work remotely.

Our dream candidate is an analytical troubleshooter who values the ideas of quality, maintainability and sustainability. Continuous learning is essential – but sharing your process and learnings with your team is what makes us grow. To us, each team member is a highly valued resource and we emphasize this by fostering a helpful, transparent culture where technology stacks are shared openly and we open source solutions we feel could serve and benefit the wider community.

At Paf you’ll learn how to build scalable, high quality software solutions in a sustainable way. We’ll encourage you to explore and we truly value any and all inputs. Here, you’ll be part of a team that grows together. Are you a natural problem-solver who keeps track of the bigger picture? Does software craftsmanship and clean code make your heart beat faster? Welcome on board!
