Engineering Manager; DevOps background

Help scale the infrastructure behind a real-time iGaming platform serving 150M+ players worldwide while leading our SRE and Platform Engineering teams. At Patrianna, we build a high-performance B2B platform for the global iGaming industry, enabling partners to launch and scale digital gaming products across multiple international markets. Our platform serves as the foundation for multiple gaming brands, providing the core systems that power gameplay, integrations, and platform capabilities across different markets.

Our engineering culture is built around a few core principles:
We focus on solving meaningful engineering problems and delivering reliable systems without unnecessary bureaucracy;
Teams operate within defined responsibilities and leadership structures that ensure decisions are made and outcomes are delivered;
We believe strong engineering leadership starts with technical credibility and ownership of outcomes.

We are actively building an AI-driven engineering organization with a clear and deliberate stance: artificial intelligence is a core part of how we build and deliver software — not an experiment, not a trend, and not an optional add-on.
AI is embedded into our engineering workflows, from system design and prototyping to refactoring, testing, and code review. Strong engineering judgment, architectural ownership, and accountability remain essential—AI amplifies our engineers, it doesn’t replace responsibility for technical decisions.
We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our Dev Ops function across two specialized engineering teams:
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Platform Engineering .

• Own the Dev Ops roadmap and delivery outcomes – establish clear roadmaps across SRE and Platform Engineering, translate priorities into concrete initiatives and commitments, and ensure teams deliver against realistic timelines;
• Drive predictable execution – establish effective planning and execution practices, track progress against commitments, identify delivery risks early, manage dependencies, and ensure clear ownership of initiatives;
• Lead SRE and Platform Engineering – provide leadership across both operational reliability and longer-term platform development, balancing immediate production needs with strategic infrastructure improvements;
• Own people management – manage and develop Dev Ops engineers, including performance reviews, career development, compensation and promotion input, hiring, team structure, and handling performance concerns when needed;
• Partner with engineering teams – work closely with Engineering Managers, Team Leads, and engineers across the organization to understand infrastructure needs, resolve systemic problems, and ensure the platform enables rather than blocks product delivery;
• Drive platform reliability – continuously improve availability, resilience, observability, incident response, capacity management, and operational readiness across the platform;
• Evolve the engineering platform – drive initiatives around Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, Git Ops, Infrastructure as Code, observability, scalability, security, and developer experience;
• Improve engineering effectiveness – identify bottlenecks, repetitive operational work, and inefficient processes, and drive automation and platform improvements that increase engineering productivity;
• Drive infrastructure efficiency – continuously evaluate infrastructure architecture, resource utilization, and cloud costs, identifying opportunities to improve performance and reliability while keeping the platform cost-efficient.

• Engineering leadership experience – proven experience leading infrastructure, Dev Ops, SRE, or Platform Engineering teams while balancing technical…
