About the job

Innovate at Scale. Lead with Purpose.

At KingMakers, we are at the forefront of creating and managing top-tier sports and iGaming platforms, utilized by millions across diverse African markets every day.

We aren't just maintaining outdated systems; we are continuously scaling a live, revenue-generating technology platform in real-time.

Our Virtuals division is among the most lucrative, driving engagement and revenue across various markets. With our geographical expansion, we face increasing technical challenges: higher traffic, more integrations, and elevated performance demands.

We are in search of an Engineering Manager to spearhead this transformation.

Key Responsibilities

This is a comprehensive Engineering Manager position that encompasses leadership, delivery accountability, and technical guidance.

Leadership & Team Development

  • Guide, mentor, and cultivate a high-performing team of engineers.
  • Implement structured performance evaluations and development plans.
  • Recruit and onboard talented individuals.
  • Encourage a culture of accountability, collaboration, and engineering excellence.
  • Develop an effective on-call culture and operational responsibility.

We seek leaders who foster resilient, high-performing teams rather than pursuing short-term successes.

Delivery Management

  • Steer the execution of the Virtuals roadmap.
  • Oversee planning, prioritization, and risk management.
  • Align engineering deliverables with overarching business and product strategies.
  • Minimize distractions and enhance release predictability.
  • Play a crucial role in defining the roadmap.

This position demands clarity, organization, and robust stakeholder collaboration.

Architecture & Technical Leadership

You'll influence architectural choices and engineering best practices across:

  • Distributed, event-driven systems
  • High-concurrency environments
  • Microservices architecture
  • Domain-driven design
  • Management of technical debt
  • Observability, monitoring, and incident management
  • Security-first approach

Architectural decisions here are critical; they directly affect performance, uptime, and revenue sustainability.

Our Technology Stack

Our operations leverage modern, scalable technologies including:

  • C# / . NET
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Docker & Kubernetes (AKS)
  • MS SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis
  • Kafka & RabbitMQ
  • Terraform (IaC)
  • CI/CD (Azure DevOps)
  • Monitoring & observability tools (e.g., Grafana)

We expect technical credibility; while daily hands-on coding may not be required, the ability to guide and challenge engineering decisions is essential.
