The role
Our client is a compliance-focused business operating in regulated markets, supporting online gaming operators with data-driven risk identification and reporting. They are looking for a Data Developer to join a small, collaborative team where cultural fit and a methodical working style matter as much as technical capability. The role is available to candidates based in Gibraltar, North Portugal, or working remotely within the CET timezone, and offers a competitive salary of £36,000 to £40,000 depending on experience.
As a Data Developer, you will take ownership of building and maintaining the data logic that underpins Responsible Gambling and Anti-Money Laundering risk models. Day to day, that means developing and optimising database objects, validating model outputs, investigating data quality issues, and translating compliance requirements into clear, auditable data solutions. The work sits at the intersection of online casino and sports betting operations and the regulatory frameworks that govern them, so a genuine interest in that space is a real asset.
This is a mid-level position, suited to someone who is comfortable working independently on SQL Server-based solutions while communicating findings clearly to both technical colleagues and non-technical client stakeholders. The team operates with an informal culture and values people who are goal-oriented and take pride in accuracy. If you are a Data Developer who enjoys working on meaningful, compliance-driven data problems in the iGaming sector, this is a role worth exploring.
What you'll own
Risk model data and logic
You will develop and maintain the datasets and logic that support Responsible Gambling and Anti-Money Laundering risk identification models, ensuring outputs are reliable, consistent, and fully auditable for regulated environments.
Database object development and optimisation
You will build, optimise, and maintain database objects within SQL Server, including stored procedures, views, and scheduled or batch jobs, keeping performance and data integrity at the centre of everything you deliver.
Data validation and quality assurance
You will interpret, validate, and test data to confirm accuracy and reliability, investigating quality issues as they arise and documenting findings in a way that meets the standards expected in regulated, auditable contexts.
ETL and data pipeline support
You will support ETL and ELT-style processing, data transformations, and integration workflows, helping to keep pipelines stable and well-maintained as the business and its client base evolve.
Translating requirements into solutions
You will work with compliance and business stakeholders to translate their requirements into clear, testable data solutions, bridging the gap between regulatory needs and technical delivery without losing sight of either side.
Stakeholder communication
You will communicate analytical findings and data outcomes clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including external clients, ensuring that insights are accessible and actionable regardless of the audience's background.
What success looks like
Within the first few months, a successful Data Developer will have developed a solid understanding of the risk models and data structures in use, taken ownership of at least one meaningful piece of database development, and demonstrated the ability to investigate and resolve data quality issues independently. Outputs will be accurate, well-documented, and suitable for regulated environments without requiring significant review cycles.
Longer term, success means becoming a trusted contributor who can translate new compliance requirements into well-structured data solutions efficiently, maintain productive relationships with client stakeholders, and proactively identify opportunities to improve existing processes. The team will value consistency, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving above all else.
Who you'll work with
You will join a small, close-knit team within a compliance-focused business that supports online gaming operators across regulated markets. The Data Developer will work alongside technical colleagues on database and data pipeline work, and will also engage directly with non-technical stakeholders and clients to communicate findings and gather requirements. The culture is informal and supportive, with a genuine emphasis on getting things right rather than moving fast, and the team takes the quality and auditability of their outputs seriously.
Nice to have
- Experience in online gambling / iGaming or related domains such as compliance, payments, fraud, or risk
- Understanding of Responsible Gambling (RG) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) concepts
- Experience building or maintaining ETL / ELT processes and data pipelines
- Familiarity with cloud environments and modern data tooling
- Working knowledge of Python or other common programming languages
What's on offer

Beyond the practical package, this is a role that offers genuine variety and a chance to work on data problems that have real-world regulatory significance in the online gaming sector. The team environment is collaborative and informal, and the business is committed to supporting the professional development of the people who join them.
