[Remote] Systems Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. WagerTech is seeking a senior Systems Engineer to serve as the technical owner of its data pipelines, integrations, and internal tools. The role focuses on automating manual processes, improving system architecture and observability, developing Python and Salesforce integrations, and ensuring trusted, documented data flows across the business.

Responsibilities

• You’re diving into the codebase, Python services, or PostgreSQL schema to refine how data flows from our properties into the operational source of truth
• You’re automating a high-cost manual process or building a custom Salesforce integration that declarative tools couldn't handle
• You’re owning a system
• You decide how the architecture evolves to ensure that when the business asks "where did this number come from," the answer is clear, documented, and trusted
• You don't just fix a bug; you look at the data contract between systems and ensure the entire pipeline is documented, observable, and resilient
• You view Salesforce not just as a CRM, but as the operational source of truth. You’re ready to own the object architecture, flows, and eventually the Apex logic that keeps the business running
• If you see a manual hand-off or a data re-entry point, it bothers you. You won’t stop until it’s a monitored, documented, and automated process
• You have the engineering hygiene to know that generated code is just a draft until you’ve verified and tested it
• You’ll have a ton of autonomy to set engineering standards, but that comes with the responsibility of being the "person who knows" when things get complex

Skills

• Remote (available 9am-2pm EST, Monday to Friday)
• You thrive in the "build" phase. You don't wait for a manual to be handed to you, you're the one who enjoys digging in, figuring it out, and documenting it for the first time
• You don't just fix a bug; you look at the data contract between systems and ensure the entire pipeline is documented, observable, and resilient
• While your heart is in the backend (Python, Django, AWS), you have enough JavaScript and React fluency to build the interfaces your own services need to be useful
• You view Salesforce not just as a CRM, but as the operational source of truth. You're ready to own the object architecture, flows, and eventually the Apex logic that keeps the business running
• If you see a manual hand-off or a data re-entry point, it bothers you. You won't stop until it's a monitored, documented, and automated process
• You're already using AI agents and coding assistants to stay fast, but you have the engineering hygiene to know that generated code is just a draft until you've verified and tested it
• This is a full-time contractor role in a high-growth environment. We move quickly, which means you'll often be owning systems that haven't been fully documented yet. You'll have a ton of autonomy to set engineering standards, but that comes with the responsibility of being the "person who knows" when things get complex. If you need a rigid, pre-defined roadmap every Monday morning, the pace here might feel overwhelming

Benefits

• Core Hours Flexibility: We prioritize results over "desk time." Be available for the team between 9 AM and 2 PM EST, and manage the rest of your day however you work best.
• Modern Tech Stack: Work deeply with AWS (RDS, Lambda, ECS), Python/Django, and PostgreSQL.
• No Red Tape: You are the technical owner. If you see a better way to build a pipeline or secure our data, you have the green light to make it happen.
• Impact: Your work directly reduces manual toil for every other division in the company. When you succeed, the whole business moves faster.
