<li>Support on call for the EKS platform.</li>
<li>Own the operational health and evolution of containerised workloads running on EKS, including Helm chart management and Kustomize-based environment configuration</li>
<li>Drive GitOps practices using Flux, maintaining, improving, and troubleshooting the reconciliation pipeline across environments</li>
<li>Manage and optimise core managed services: EKS, MSK, and RDS, including scaling, patching, cost governance, and incident response</li>
<li>Maintain and extend infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, ensuring consistency, modularity, and alignment with AWS best practices</li>
<li>Support and improve GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows, including build, test, and deployment pipelines for containerised applications</li>
<li>Collaborate with development teams to support the hosting, debugging, and performance of Java/Kotlin and Python-based services</li>
<li>Identify and address platform-level technical debt, contributing to a roadmap of incremental improvements</li>
<li>Support on call for the EKS platform.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>What you bring:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Kubernetes at production scale, EKS preferred, with strong understanding of networking, RBAC, resource management, and cluster operations</li>
<li>GitOps tooling, Flux (essential), with solid working knowledge of Helm and Kustomize</li>
<li>AWS managed services, hands-on experience with EKS, MSK, and RDS in production environments</li>
<li>Terraform, authoring and maintaining modular infrastructure-as-code across multiple environments</li>

<li>Reviewing and signing off technical designs produced by Lead and Senior engineers across active engagements</li>
<li>Identifying and driving the adoption of new tooling, patterns, and AWS services that improve delivery outcomes across the iGaming practice</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Delivery</b></h2>
<ul><li>Leading the technical design and execution of large-scale data migrations &mdash; moving high-volume transactional and event data from on-premises or legacy cloud estates to AWS, without loss of fidelity or operational continuity</li>
<li>Architecting real-time and near-real-time data pipelines for sportsbook and in-play use cases &mdash; odds feeds, market events, bet placement streams, and settlement pipelines &mdash; where latency and correctness are non-negotiable</li>
<li>Designing and enforcing data integrity frameworks across betting, trading, and customer data domains &mdash; including reconciliation between source and target systems, anomaly detection, and audit trail requirements</li>
<li>Overseeing the implementation of regulatory and compliance reporting pipelines that meet the requirements of the UK Gambling Commission and international licensing bodies</li>
<li>Working with AWS services including S3, Glue, Lambda, Athena, Redshift, RDS, Kinesis, MSK, Lake Formation, Step Functions, and MWAA &mdash; selecting the right tool for each problem rather than defaulting to a stack</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Practice and people</b></h2>
<ul><li>Mentoring and growing Lead and Senior Data Engineers &mdash; through code review, pairing, architecture sessions, and career conversations</li>
<li>Building the iGaming data engineering playbook: reusable patterns, accelerators, and reference architectures that reduce time-to-value on new engagements</li>
<li>Contributing to hiring &mdash; defining what great looks like for data engineering roles and playing an active part in assessment</li>
<li>Representing Create Future externally &mdash; at industry events, in technical blog posts, and in client-facing settings &mdash; as a credible voice on iGaming data engineering</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Commercial</b></h2>

<li>Partnering with AWS on joint go-to-market activity where relevant, leveraging Create Future's Advanced Partner status</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What we're looking for</b></h1>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Deep iGaming domain expertise</b></h2>
<ul><li>Extensive experience working in or closely with sportsbook, exchange, or casino platforms &mdash; you understand the data models, operational pressures, and regulatory constraints from the inside</li>
<li>You've led or made decisive contributions to large-scale data migrations in iGaming &mdash; moving live betting, customer, or trading data at scale while maintaining integrity and uptime</li>
<li>You've designed or owned low-latency data pipelines where correctness and throughput are both critical &mdash; odds ingestion, in-play event streams, bet settlement, or equivalent</li>
<li>You understand what data integrity means in a regulated gambling context: reconciliation, audit trails, lineage, and the consequences of getting it wrong</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
AWS data engineering mastery</b></h2>
<ul><li>AWS is your primary cloud and you can design across the full data engineering stack &mdash; from ingestion and streaming through to warehousing, serving, and cost optimisation</li>
<li>You have deep experience with streaming architectures &mdash; Kinesis, Kafka/MSK, Flink, or Spark Streaming &mdash; and know when each is the right choice</li>
<li>You can model the cost implications of architecture decisions and advise clients on trade-offs between throughput, latency, durability, and spend</li>
<li>AWS certification at professional or specialty level is strongly preferred</li></ul><br>

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Engineering excellence</b></h2>
<ul><li>Mastery of Python, SQL, and Spark &mdash; and strong opinions on how they should be used in production data pipelines</li>
<li>Deep experience with dbt, Airflow, or equivalent orchestration &mdash; including how to build pipelines that are testable, observable, and operationally sound</li>
<li>Strong understanding of data quality engineering &mdash; not just validation rules, but how to build systems that detect and surface integrity issues before they reach consumers</li>
<li>Comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK) and treating data platform infrastructure as a first-class engineering concern</li></ul><br>
<p></p>
<h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Consultancy and leadership</b></h2>
<ul><li>You've operated at Principal or equivalent level &mdash; making architectural decisions that affect multiple teams, and being accountable for their outcomes</li>
<li>You're comfortable in C-suite and VP-level client conversations, translating technical complexity into business risk and opportunity</li>
<li>You can hold a room on a difficult technical topic and reach a decision &mdash; not just present options</li>
<li>You've grown engineering talent around you and take it seriously as a leadership responsibility</li></ul><br>
