The Gaming & Player Engagement Engineering vertical consists of three areas, and we are looking for a Product Engineering Lead for one of them.



The Customer Operations engineering area sits at the heart of our customer experience, covering key journeys across customer support, responsible gaming, player sustainability, and account management. This includes a broad portfolio of customer and agent-facing products — spanning self-service help centres, third-party platforms, and automated solutions such as AI chatbots.



As Product Engineering Lead for Customer Operations, you will report to the Head of Engineering for Gaming & Player Engagement and play a central role in shaping how we deliver for our customers and operational teams alike.



You will work in close partnership with your Business Owner to understand organisational needs, define priorities, and build a product function capable of meeting them. You will staff and manage a team of Product Owners, taking full ownership of product solutions across your area — driving delivery, aligning to the technical strategy, as well as your business owner’s goals, ensuring both your direct team and spoked-in resources are set up for success.



Your portfolio spans multiple products, combining internal platforms with third-party solutions, and serving both customer-facing and agent-facing use cases.

In this role, you are accountable for the delivery and productivity in your area. You ensure that the standards for security and technical compliance are followed and your products deliver value. You are comfortable working closely with stakeholders and peers to understand their needs and bringing the strategic direction to life. You ensure that we always keep the customer perspective in mind, securing the stability and quality of your products, providing maintenance and minimising technical debt.



To be successful in this role you will need a strong drive to make things happen and the capacity to handle many things at once. You are a person that has excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate across diverse teams and functions, and someone who can comfortably lead conversations on both business and tech related topics.
