Engineering Manager (m/f/d)

About this role

ABOUT US: Come work for one of the fastest-growing sports tech and iGaming companies in the world. Our NASDAQ-listed organization is aligned around shared passions for sports and technology, supporting thousands of partners with data and content worldwide. We are seeking an Engineering Manager to act as a technical catalyst within our iGaming division. This is a high-impact leadership role: you won’t just write code; you will define the engineering culture and architectural vision for our sports-based casino games.

The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of high-frequency sports data and engaging, real-time gaming experiences. You will partner with leadership to translate product strategy into robust, scalable technical roadmaps while empowering our developers to work smarter and faster through modern engineering methodologies, including AI-driven development. THE CHALLENGE: Architectural Vision: Lead the design and evolution of highly resilient, low-latency, and distributed architectures that power our iGaming products, ensuring they handle massive concurrency and real-time video and sports data streams.

AI-Augmented Engineering: Champion the adoption of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cody) within our development lifecycle. Define standards for AI-assisted code generation, automated documentation, test-case generation, and legacy code refactoring to drastically improve team velocity and code quality. Engineering Excellence: Set the bar for best practices. Guide teams in test-driven development (TDD), security-first design, and clean-code principles.

Foster an environment where quality and speed are not trade-offs but partners. Cross-Team Enablement: Work across the organization to break down silos. You will act as a bridge between front-end, back-end, and infrastructure teams to ensure seamless product delivery and technical alignment. Hands-On Technical Leadership: Stay close to the code. Dive into critical path issues, participate in complex problem-solving, and lead by example in difficult refactoring or high-stakes feature implementations.

Mentorship & Growth: Mentor Staff and Senior Engineers, cultivating a culture of continuous learning. Your success is measured by the growth and autonomy of the engineers around you. ABOUT YOU: Experience: 10+ years of software development experience, with a proven track record in the iGaming, betting, or high-concurrency real-time gaming sectors. Tech Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Java/JVM ecosystems and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript).
