Engineering Manager-Sportsbook

It’s an exciting time to join us! We’re entering new markets, developing new technologies, and moving step by step towards our goal of exciting the world. As our business grows, the number of exciting people initiatives grows with it, and we’re looking for a new colleague to partner with our team to bring these to life.

Happening is the technology engine powering Superbet Group's global platforms and brands that bring thrill to customers across the world every day. We are a game‑changing tech company rewriting the rules of sports engagement, betting and gaming. We are shaking up the status quo by building our own end‑to‑end tech stack, solving deep and complex challenges for millions of customers and shaping our culture to work uniquely for the tech community.

A true challenger, our technology handles serious scale on par with the Big Techs, and customer obsession runs through every team. Building our own platform gives freedom to innovate and flip the legacy perceptions and industry stereotypes.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Models team, an experimental driven tribe working at the intersection of engineering, data science, and product to deliver performant, accurate, and scalable systems powering the pricing logic behind our sports book.

You’ll work with quant models, simulations, and pricing systems that are critical to how Superbet engages customers. This role combines technical leadership, people development, and delivery management to ensure engineering quality and team clarity across both model integration and operational ownership.

You’ll also contribute to maturing our engineering practices; including system reliability, observability, testing, CI/CD, and documentation, driving best practices within the team as we scale the platform and grow the team.

• Strong exposure to on‑call responsibilities and improving production reliability
• History of working in cross‑functional teams and aligning with product and engineering stakeholders
• Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle
• Effective at resolving complex engineering and communication issues
• Great time management, organisational, and multitasking skills
• Experience in iGaming, especially within Sports book or Trading domains
• Familiarity with quantitative modelling workflows and their engineering lifecycle
• Experience in simulation platforms, ML pipelines, or pricing systems
• Ability to lead teams through experimental or uncertain development environments

• Lead a team of engineers delivering and supporting pricing models and simulations at scale
• Partner with analysts, PMs, and engineering peers to improve the accuracy, testability, and stability of pricing systems
• Strengthen relationships with Product, Quant, and Data Science to ensure alignment and clarity in delivery
• Promote a culture of ownership, clarity, and best practice in engineering
• Ensure balance between product delivery and tech initiatives-creating room for improvements in infrastructure, standards, and long‑term scalability
• Support individual engineers through structured feedback, career development, and regular check‑ins
• Drive hiring and contribute to a strong culture of engineering excellence and documentation across the mission
