Engineering Manager

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the development of our experimentation platform used across our three main brands Sky Betting and Gaming, Paddy Power and Betfair. Our cross-functional teams shape highly available, scalable and resilient systems to support our apps and websites. Focusing on automation, infrastructure-as-code and real-time data, we use the right tech to get the job done. You'll work closely with software engineers and QA engineers, solution architects, product owners and product managers to ensure we are delivering high quality solutions to business challenges and requirements.,

• Turn concepts and requirements into highly available web applications and systems using industry standard languages and technologies such as Java, Docker, Prometheus, AWS, and Terraform.


• Take ownership for code quality, security and scalability and have an equal grasp of the overall system you are working on and how it meets the needs of the end users, and business objectives.


• Balance the commercial needs of the business against the ideal technical design, proposing sound phased or tactical implementations where appropriate.


• Understand the importance of non-functionals such as real-time monitoring, good alert design and great logging strategies. Ensuring systems perform well to deliver the best user experience possible is something you consider as part of the normal delivery process.


• Proactively support and mentor other team members, working with them to help them improve their skills.


• Support the implementation of continuous integration to enhance deployment processes.


• Liaise with other teams across the business to communicate and coordinate.



• Work with other Engineering Managers, technical and non-technical stakeholders, and system architects to envision, design and deliver industry leading systems, and to set a sustainable forward strategy.


• Take on day-to-day management duties for the other engineers in your squad, including regular 1-to-1s, coaching and mentoring, enabling career development, and assisting the Engineering Manager with recruitment for new engineers as required., You will champion and contribute to our commitment of continuous improvement in software delivery, coding practices, application quality and agile processes. Working in conjunction with the Senior Engineering Manager and Principal Software Engineers you will ensure our engineers are technically able to do the job at hand. You will maintain and uphold the SDLC and make suggestions for improvements to working practices for your squad.


• You'll feel comfortable working in an architectural domain, at ease debating delivery priorities with a Solution Architect and Product Owner. You are an expert in sustainable software engineering, but don't gold plate or prematurely abstract for a re-use that never materialises.


• You are comfortable as a leader and mentor of your fellow engineers, who often ask you for advice and guidance. You're a team player, who works collaboratively to achieve the shared squad goals. You are unafraid to challenge aspects outside your direct remit and passionately champion 'the right thing'



• Java for our services


• Docker to containerise them


• GitHub Actions and Jenkins to build them


• AWS and Kubernetes to host them


• Grafana and Prometheus to monitor them


You should be prepared to help us support some of our older legacy codebases rolling up your sleeves and digging through. Do not worry if you are not familiar with all our technologies & languages, we want great people who are willing to get stuck in and learn.

Engineering means more than authoring quality, tested code. It includes the end-to-end delivery pipeline; code driven deployment infrastructure; automated test safety nets; and effective operational instrumentation and incident response., About Flutter UK & Ireland
