Contract type: Full time

Location: Hybrid (Copenhagen Office)

At Shape Games, we’re building the next generation of frontend experiences for the iGaming industry, where we combine UX craftsmanship with technical innovation. Our products power leading sportsbooks and casinos across the world, and we have an ambition to deliver the most flexible, beautiful, and high‑performing iGaming platform in the market.

To make that possible, we rely on the Core Platform stream — the engineering group responsible for the technical foundation that every product team, partner integration, and native app is built on. This includes:

• Core Native functionality (flexibility, layout management, SDK distribution)
• Back‑Office Tooling / CMS, enabling partners to manage content and layout dynamically
• Internal Tooling, including our configuration system
• Cloud Infrastructure (AWS), powering distribution and scalability

This stream ensures that our sport, casino, and account products are adaptable, customizable, and efficiently delivered to partners operating in different markets and regulatory environments.

Our engineers are highly skilled and capable of building sophisticated technical solutions — and now we’re looking for an Engineering Manager who can help them focus, stay aligned, and grow.

• Strengthen engineering practices: Improve reliability, automation, CI/CD, testing, and observability across the stream
• Navigate the roadmap: Bring clarity to priorities, manage risks, and align with other product and engineering teams
• Shape how we work: Improve processes, streamline release flows, and remove friction for developers

To give more concrete context of what you might do as an Engineering Manager in the Core, here are some examples of what you might be doing:

• Improve release flows: Make sure that we implement the necessary automations and quality assurance for us to deliver efficiently and of high quality

What we’re looking for:

The Core Platform stream works with complex technical domains — native app architecture, configuration systems, AWS infrastructure, SDK distribution, and back‑office tooling. To lead effectively here, you need a solid technical understanding and the ability to engage in technical discussions with confidence.

You bring:

• Strong technical understanding from a background in software development or previous experience in managing software development teams
• The ability to navigate architectural discussions and support the team in making sound technical trade‑offs
• Experience driving delivery while maintaining engineering quality and long‑term platform health
