Golang Job: Front End Engineer

About Us
We’re a technology company; that’s grown over the last 25-years from a single-computer to a $1billion ASX-300 company.

Our mission is “to make lottery easy”; and our vision is to be the leading global provider of digital lottery products and services. We aim to create the possible - both through the solutions we develop to help our lottery and not-for-profit partners raise more funds; and through enabling our people to innovate, grow and have fun in a collaborative and supportive work environment.

Our roots are in Brisbane, Australia, but our orientation is global; and encapsulates a 250+ strong multi-disciplinary team, working with a 10,000+ client-base and engaging with a 5 million+ player-base across Australia, the United Kingdom and North America.

Jumbo's Engineering team leverages tech such as Golang, Docker, TypeScript, and React to regularly ship code that improves our products and has a positive impact on our customers.
