Job description

About the role

We're looking for someone who owns delivery - not tracks it, not reports it, owns it.

You'll be responsible for a specific area: games, features, or platform work. From the first conversation about a requirement through to production - you're on the hook for the whole thing.

This isn't a meeting-facilitation job. It's not about keeping Jira up to date or running standups. It's about making sure engineering teams have a clear path to delivery and nothing is getting in their way.

You set the timeline, track it, and communicate changes before people start asking questions. If there's a blocker, you've already seen it. If a release isn't ready, you say so - clearly and early.

You'll look at how work flows through your area and fix what's broken. Not just follow whatever process exists. You'll design something that actually works, iterate on it, and make it better over time.

Quality is yours too. Not QA's problem alone, not the tech lead's problem. You own release readiness: is it tested, is it documented, does anyone know the operational risk. If the answer is no, it doesn't ship.

You'll work closely with product, engineering, QA, and client-facing teams, keep them aligned, and report directly to the VP of Delivery.


What we expect from you

First 30 days

  • Understand how delivery actually works in your area - not how it should work, how it actually works

  • Map where work gets stuck, what the recurring blockers are, and who the key people are

  • Meet everyone who matters: product owners, tech leads, QA, release managers, client teams

  • Write up what you found and share it with the VP of Delivery

First 60 days

  • Take ownership of delivery tracking for your area

  • Pick the biggest workflow problem you found and start fixing it

  • Show you can catch a blocker before it causes a delay - at least twice

First 90 days

  • Own and communicate a delivery forecast that stakeholders actually trust

  • Ship at least one release with no last-minute surprises - quality gates passed, documentation done, everyone aligned

  • Present your view on how delivery should work in your area going forward

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years in an engineering delivery, software delivery leadership, or similar role where you owned outcomes, not just process

  • You catch problems early. Not because you're lucky, but because you know what signals to watch

  • You've worked across engineering, product, and QA and you know how to keep them moving together

  • Strong communicator - you can give a clear, honest delivery update to a VP without needing a slide deck

  • You care about quality beyond closing tickets - release readiness, testing coverage, operational risk are things you think about naturally

  • You're genuinely interested in the product you're delivering, not just the process around it

Nice to have

  • Background in iGaming, gaming, or another regulated product environment

  • Experience in a B2B or multi-operator delivery model

  • Familiarity with incident management and post-mortems

  • Experience working with external studios or third-party development partners

  • OKR-based planning and how it connects to delivery cadence

  • Jira or similar tooling - configuration, not just usage

 
 

What we offer

  • Real ownership and direct impact - you'll see the results of your decisions in production

  • Direct collaboration with the VP of Delivery in a team that's being built deliberately

  • Space to design and improve delivery processes, not just execute someone else's playbook

  • A fast-moving product environment where delivery quality is taken seriously

  • Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive salary, subject to annual performance reviews.

  • Quarterly Bonuses: Benefit from a transparent and systematic quarterly bonus system.

  • Unlimited Paid Vacation: Enjoy unlimited paid vacation leave, including Ukrainian bank holidays.

  • Unlimited Paid Sick Leave: Take unlimited paid sick leave whenever necessary.

  • Flexible Schedule: We offer a flexible work schedule to accommodate your needs.

  • Remote Work: Choose to work remotely, providing greater flexibility and comfort.

  • Medical Insurance: Receive comprehensive medical insurance for both you and a significant other.

  • Financial Support for Life Events: We provide financial support during special life events.

  • Professional Development: Get reimbursement for professional development courses and training.

  • International Exposure: Attend industry expos, team gatherings, and global meet-ups.
