With a focus on cloud-based technologies, AI-driven analytics, and responsible gaming , we empower lotteries to reach new players, expand engagement, and achieve sustainable growth in an evolving digital landscape. At Allwyn Lottery Solutions, you’ll be part of a forward-thinking, collaborative, and innovative team that is shaping the future of i Lottery.

At Allwyn Lottery Solutions, data is central to how we help lotteries grow, innovate, and deliver exceptional player experiences.

Our Business Intelligence and Data team is building the next generation of products that allow both internal teams and customers to interact with data, analytics, AI, and operational services in powerful yet intuitive ways.

We are building two flagship products

• A cloud-native operations and analytics platform that provides a single pane of glass across our data platform, AWS services, reporting capabilities, operational monitoring, analytics tooling, and self-service data access.
• A next-generation, AI-native Customer Data and Experience Platform (CDXP) that leverages large language models, automation, and modern data architecture to transform how users discover insights, build audiences, orchestrate experiences, and interact with data.

As a Product Engineer, you will play a central role in designing, building, and evolving these products.

You will work across the full stack, from backend services and data integrations to user experience and interface design.

You will collaborate closely with Data Engineers, Platform Engineers, BI Developers, Architects, and Product stakeholders to transform complex technical capabilities into simple, intuitive, and highly effective user experiences.

We favour simplicity over complexity.

Our preferred stack is Django, HTMX, Alpine. js, and modern web standards.

We deliberately avoid unnecessary framework complexity and instead focus on building robust, maintainable products that deliver value quickly.

This role is best suited to engineers who enjoy ownership, autonomy, and solving real business problems.

We are a lean team and expect engineers to take ideas from concept to production, making pragmatic decisions along the way.

We actively embrace AI-assisted development, but we are looking for engineers with strong fundamentals, excellent coding skills, and a deep understanding of how the web works.
