Engineering Manager – Platform & Growth

The Role Funteron sits at the intersection of sport, media, technology and commercial partnerships.

We’re building ITV Odds Finder and developing the next wave of media partnerships.

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our engineering capability, build the team and create the technology platform needed to scale ITV Odds Finder and preparing Funteron for global rollout — ensuring that what we build can be deployed efficiently across new media partners, sports, territories and markets.

This is a key leadership role within Funteron, combining technology strategy, people management and delivery.

You’ll work closely with the founders, product and commercial teams to turn partnership opportunities into scalable technology.

What You’ll Do Lead the engineering function – build, manage and develop a high-performing engineering team.

Own the technology strategy – define the architecture, roadmap and technical priorities for ITV Odds Finder and future products.

Scale ITV Odds Finder – ensure the platform is reliable, high-performing and ready for significant audience and partner growth.

Enable media partnerships – build reusable APIs, integrations and technology that make launching new media partners faster and easier.

Drive global rollout – create a platform that can efficiently support new territories, partners, sports and market requirements.

Own engineering delivery – establish strong development processes, standards and accountability while maintaining pace.

Manage technology partners – determine the right balance between internal capability and external specialists.

What We’re Looking For You’ll be an experienced engineering leader with a strong technical background and a track record of building teams and scaling digital products.

You’ll ideally have experience in: Leading and developing software engineering teams.

Building and scaling consumer-facing technology platforms.

Modern cloud architecture, APIs, data and Dev Ops.

Integrating products with external platforms and partners.

Translating commercial and product priorities into technology roadmaps.

Scaling technology across multiple customers, partners or markets.

Experience in sports technology, media, publishing or high-traffic consumer platforms would be particularly valuable.

What Success Looks Like Over your first 12–18 months, you will have: Established Funteron’s technology strategy and engineering roadmap.

Built the core engineering team required for the next phase of growth.

Strengthened and scaled the technology behind ITV Odds Finder.

Created a repeatable technical framework for onboarding new media partners.

Improved the speed and predictability with which new products and features can be launched.

Help successfully launch Funteron products and partnerships into new markets.

The Opportunity You’ll have significant ownership from day one: this is an opportunity to join Funteron at a point where technology, sport and media partnerships are coming together to create something genuinely scalable .

You won’t be inheriting a large engineering organisation and simply keeping it running.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape the technology strategy, build the team and create the platform that powers the next stage of ITV Odds Finder and Funteron’s global growth.
