Director of Engineering - iCasino (FBG)

Responsibilities

• Lead a high-performing engineering organization across the U.S. and the U.K.
• Own delivery across the domain - set the operating rhythm, hold teams to commitments, proactively surface and resolve cross-team delivery risks, and keep capacity allocation transparent to Product and business stakeholders
• Own the engineering quality and reliability bar for all customer-facing casino applications, including production readiness standards, observability, test automation strategy, and incident response across the domain
• Partner with Product, Design, and TPM leadership to shape the roadmap, drive iterative delivery with intentionally scoped V1s, and translate company-level experience priorities into the domain's execution plan
• Hire, develop, and coach engineering managers and senior individual contributors; design the org structure and talent strategy needed to meet business goals
• Represent iCasino Experiences in cross-organization programs spanning architecture, delivery, and people - driving alignment while keeping Casino's needs front and center
• Champion improvements to engineering practices, planning processes, and operational maturity that scale beyond your own domain
• Step into ambiguous, cross-team problems that lack a clear owner, structure the work, and lead it to resolution
• Be open to occasional travel to Fanatics offices and other locations for conferences, events, meetings, and team-building activities

Experience and Skills

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 4+ years leading engineering teams through managers, ideally across multiple geographies and time zones
• Proven ownership of consumer-facing product experiences at scale - you have led organizations building mobile products where speed, polish, and reliability are the differentiators
• Strong delivery leadership, with a track record of running predictable execution across multiple teams, managing risk proactively, and holding a high quality bar without sacrificing velocity
• Demonstrated ability to build and scale engineering organizations - hiring and developing engineering teams, designing team structures aligned to business needs, and making hard performance calls with clarity and fairness
• Deep operational rigor - experience owning production reliability for customer-facing systems, including observability, on-call structures, incident management, and post-incident improvement
• Strong technical judgment across modern client and backend architectures - able to guide architectural decisions, evaluate platform bets, and resolve cross-team technical risks without being in the code every day
• Comfort leading distributed teams across time zones

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in online gaming or other highly regulated industries, including familiarity with certification and compliance processes
• Experience leading teams building high-end mobile applications, and with content management or personalization systems
• Track record of driving cross-organization initiatives - planning process redesigns, platform migrations, or automation programs adopted beyond your own teams
• Background in startups or high-growth environments where products went from zero to market-leading
