THE SCOPE
With more than 30 years of history, Gaming1 is today one of the international leaders in both land-based and online games of chance (casino games, sports betting and poker). Its continuous growth, driven by innovation, is supported by strong local brands and deep market expertise.
As part of this strategy, Gaming1 is looking for an Engineering Manager (EM).
The Engineering Manager’s primary role is to create the conditions in which the team can do its best work, adapt to change, and continuously improve. This includes evolving practices and tools over time, such as the responsible adoption of automation and AI when it brings clear value. This is explicitly not a delivery or project management role. It is a technical leadership role, close to the team, the code, and the product, without requiring the EM to be the most senior or specialized engineer.
YOUR ROLE
As an Engineering Manager, your mission is to ensure your team:
- Continuously delivers the best customer experience and business value
- Works in short cycles
- Experiments, learns, and improves continuously
- Applies strong and pragmatic engineering practices
You focus on enabling the team to succeed by setting clear expectations, fostering ownership, facilitating good decision-making, and removing impediments.
You help the team leverage modern tools and approaches, including AI-assisted engineering practices and product capabilities, when they demonstrably improve quality, speed, or customer experience.
YOUR PROFILE
You:
- Have a strong software engineering background and are comfortable staying hands-on (30–50%)
- Bring experience as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or senior engineer with clear people leadership impact
- Care deeply about engineering quality, maintainability, testing, performance, and security
- Work closely with Product to focus the team on customer value and outcomes, not just delivery
- Create a psychologically safe environment where engineers take ownership, experiment, and continuously improve
- Balance autonomy and alignment, enabling the team to make decisions within clear boundaries
- Lead through coaching, feedback, and mentoring, rather than command-and-control
- Are comfortable operating in short feedback loops, experimenting and learning fast
- Are curious and pragmatic about adopting modern tooling, automation, and AI-assisted practices when they bring real value
WHAT WE OFFER
As well as having a unique experience - centered around our values of pleasure, team spirit, performance, boldness and integrity - alongside 1.600 employees around the world, we offer:
- the opportunity to contribute to the international development of a family company from Liège
- the chance to take part in a human and entrepreneurial adventure within a solid group
- a friendly work environment that is adapted to reaching optimal performance
- leadership by talents, values, trust and autonomy
- the opportunity to progress and specialize with our internal mobility system
- a competitive salary package with several perks
- the possibility to work remotely up to 50% for a good work-life balance
