• PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001 compliance.
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest and in transit.
• Ability to architect solutions that remain compliant across multiple jurisdictions (e.g., MGA, UKGC, GamStop, Spelinspektionen).
• Strong focus on segregation of duties and auditability to meet strict licensing and certification requirements.

• Familiarity with responsible gaming mechanisms, such as deposit limits, real-time loss monitoring, and self‑exclusion APIs.
• Experience with cloud‑native observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK) and FinOps practices for cost optimization.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS/Azure Architect Pro, TOGAF, GLI‑19, ISO 27001).

• A strategic thinker who can:
• Balance business requirements with technical excellence.
• Deliver scalable, secure, and compliant solutions in high‑stakes, high‑traffic environments.
