Job description
Founded in 1999, WorldWinner develops and operates competitive games of skill with real cash prizes under the WorldWinner consumer brand and in partnership with leading Sports Gaming Entertainment company FanDuel under the FanDuel Faceoff name.
WorldWinner is the most recognized and trusted skill games technology platform and brand for players who want to Play to Win. We bring games to the world that inspire people to play for more. With over 20 challenging games where the outcome is dependent on player skills versus chance across a content library spanning classic card games to casual favorites to retro arcade games, WorldWinner has something for every gamer. Backed by Platinum Equity and strategic investors, we are building the next phase of our platform on mobile and beyond.
Supporting the SVP of Engineering, you’ll own how work flows into WorldWinner’s central services, DevOps and data teams in a fintech-grade, real-money gaming environment. You’ll run intake and triage, keep one view of everything in flight, report clearly on what shipped and why, and automate the status-chasing out of the process. You'll also lead a small team of contract engineers covering central services and data. It’s ideal for an engineer who’d rather make the whole system run well than build one more feature. This is a contract role.
What You'll Do
- Run intake and triage for central services, DevOps and data. Decide what each request is, who it goes to, and when it’s back
- Keep one view of what's in flight across teams, so parallel work doesn't collide or spoil someone else's results
- Report what shipped, what's rolling out and what's stuck, and write the summary that explains why we chose what we chose
- Notice when work stops moving, and do something about it
- Lead a small team of contract engineers in central services and data. Set priorities, run 1:1s and give us a straight read on how they're doing
- Automate the connective tissue. Some of our systems already talk to each other and we want a lot more of it. Script against their APIs so status moves on its own instead of being chased
- Build the dashboards we don't have. One place showing the health and status of our whole landscape: the apps, the infrastructure, the data, and what's shipping. Pulled together from wherever it actually lives. That's an ambition, not a spec
- Use AI properly. We use it heavily across engineering, and expect you to as well
- Run the delivery basics: planning, commitments, retrospectives, and a clear picture of who owns what in a release
What You'll Need
- You've written and shipped software professionally, then moved toward programs and delivery. We care that you can read code, write scripts and talk to engineers as a peer - not which languages you used
- You automate your own work - calling APIs, wiring tools together, building the report rather than asking for it
- You use AI tools seriously, and have a view on where they help and where they don't
- You've owned delivery or release reporting for a team that ships regularly
- You've led engineers before, even a small group. We're not asking for a career manager, we're asking for someone people will follow
- Good judgment about what's urgent and what's only loud
- Clear writing. Most of this job happens in writing
- Calm under pressure, and the kind of presence that makes people bring you problems early
Nice to Have But Not Necessary
- Live-service, real-money or regulated-product experience
- Mobile release management - Apple App Store, Google Play
- Administering Jira or Confluence
- Incident response and on-call practice
- AWS or another cloud provider
A Note on Applying
If you can do most of this, we'd like to hear from you. We'd rather talk to someone strong in four of these areas than someone who ticks every box.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for WorldWinner. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
