We’re a product powerhouse building a full-stack ecosystem for iGaming businesses. 40M+ players. 250 brilliant minds. One bet: our technology is so rock-solid that we stake our own business on it. From our hubs in Ukraine, Georgia, the UK, and the Philippines, we blend real-world experience, a battle-tested Tech Radar, all within an open-door culture.

Turnkey isn’t just our biggest team — it’s the engine room of everything we build. It’s the tech our partners bet their business on: no patchwork, no plug-ins. Just one battle-tested ecosystem designed to launch, grow, and lead in the most dynamic markets. Turnkey unites Veli Horizon (our core platform), VeliX (the experience layer), and Veli Payments — the trio powers every player's journey and operator’s next big leap.

We invite the Team Lead Node JS to join the Veli Horizon team. Veli Horizon — our battle-tested platform built on real gaming floors. High-performance, microservices at its core, API-first by design — it keeps operations smooth, data sharp, and transactions flying. Every click, spin, and payout runs through Horizon — proven in the toughest conditions, powering thousands of moments a second.
