IT Project Manager

What you will do:

Join an in-house digital product environment where delivery decisions have a direct, visible effect on product performance and commercial outcomes. You will lead day-to-day engineering delivery for a predominantly senior, cross-functional product team of up to 15 people, while partnering closely with the Delivery Manager and engineering leads.

What success looks like

• Engineering delivery becomes transparent: current work, progress, capacity, dependencies, quality risks and delays are visible and supported by reliable data.
• Sprint execution becomes predictable, with a consistently high proportion of planned scope completed and deviations explained through facts rather than assumptions.
• Code-review, QA and release bottlenecks are identified early and reduced without trading delivery speed for product stability.
• Production incidents are coordinated effectively, followed by root-cause analysis and completed corrective or preventive actions.
• Individual and team performance decisions are supported by relevant engineering and delivery metrics, operational context and observable results.
• Business stakeholders receive clear, timely information and can confidently understand the team’s delivery status and risks.
• AI and MCP-enabled workflows are used as practical daily management tools for analysis, task decomposition, evidence collection and operational decision-making.

Your scope

• Coordinate day-to-day delivery across frontend, backend and QA workstreams.
• Run daily delivery routines, track progress, surface blockers and drive agreed actions to completion.
• Prepare an independent fact-based view of delivery status, capacity, risks and deviations for sprint planning and retrospectives conducted together with the Delivery Manager.
• Build and maintain useful delivery, quality, engineering and performance visibility using available data and MCP-enabled tooling.
• Ensure merge requests, reviews, QA validation and release readiness do not remain blocked without clear ownership and action.
• Coordinate production incidents from classification and team mobilisation through recovery, communication, root-cause analysis and follow-up actions.
• Assess individual and team performance based on delivered outcomes, evidence, quality and context; provide recommendations to the Delivery Manager and HR.
• Work with engineering leads to implement technical decisions, manage dependencies and challenge delivery assumptions when the data indicates risk.
• Communicate regularly with internal business stakeholders and translate delivery realities into clear options, impacts and decisions.

What you bring:

• Approximately 5+ years of experience in software delivery, engineering management, project management or a closely related leadership role.
• Experience managing a software or product team of approximately 10–15 people, including individual and team performance management.
• Strong practical understanding of the full SDLC and the different delivery risks of frontend, backend, APIs, databases, CI/CD and software testing.
• Ability to challenge assumptions, investigate root causes and make independent decisions without waiting for step-by-step instructions.
• A record of improving delivery predictability, engineering transparency, product quality or production stability through measurable outcomes.
• Practical experience using AI tools and MCP-enabled workflows in delivery or engineering management; general familiarity with AI is not sufficient.
• Confidence working with senior engineers and leads while retaining accountability for delivery execution and follow-through.
• Strong analytical communication: you can explain what happened, why it happened, the business impact and the next decision required.
• English at B2 level or above; team communication is primarily in Russian and Ukrainian.

Relevant background

Experience in iGaming is an advantage but is not mandatory. Strong in-house product experience in fintech, payments, high-load SaaS or e-commerce can be equally relevant. Previous software engineering experience is a strong advantage, but not a formal requirement.

Environment and tools

The environment includes Node.js, PHP, SQL/MariaDB, AWS, GitHub/GitLab data accessed through MCP, Teamwork.com, Slack, Notion, Grafana, Figma, Customer.io, telemetry and digital analytics tools. Exact prior experience with every tool is not expected; the ability to understand the system and use data effectively is essential.

Working format

• Full-time remote role with required working overlap across a team operating between UTC and UTC+3.
• One-week sprint cadence, frequent production releases and a high level of product innovation.
• Direct reporting to the Delivery Manager and close daily cooperation with engineering and QA leads.
• Three-month probation period.

What we offer

• Competitive salary in USD.
• Remote work in a flexible environment.
• 20 paid working days of vacation.
• Paid parental leave.
• Professional growth opportunities.
• Participation in top industry events and conferences.
• International workshops at competence centres.

Hiring process

1. Recruiter screening.
2. Main interview with the hiring manager, and potentially the COO.
3. Optional final conversation with the Product owner.
