Résumé du poste

Gaming1 is scaling its Platform Engineering function and seeks a Senior Network & Platform Engineer to own the network fabric and platform primitives. You will treat infrastructure as code, build self-service capabilities with guardrails, and ensure secure, observable systems for product engineers.

The role requires Fortinet expertise, Terraform/Ansible proficiency, and strong CI/CD/GitOps experience in a hybrid, international environment.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in network engineering, including platform/IaC-oriented roles.
• Fortinet NSE 4 certification (NSE 7 preferred) or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible for network and systems automation.

Responsabilités

• Own network platform capabilities as code and design, deploy, and maintain Fortinet-based network fabric.
• Build self-service capabilities with guardrails for Product Engineers to consume without tickets.
• Embed cybersecurity standards into IaC pipelines and collaborate on threat modeling and compliance.
• Make observability through telemetry (Prometheus, Grafana) and ensure measurable reliability.
• Continuously evolve the platform and raise automation and security standards.

Description du poste

THE SCOPE

With 30 years of history, today Gaming1 is one of the international leaders in both land-based and online games of chance (casino games, sports betting and poker). Its evolution at the heart of innovation is accompanied by a diversification and specialization of positions, with the creation of new cutting-edge jobs.

THE SCOPE

With 30 years of history, today Gaming1 is one of the international leaders in both land-based and online games of chance (casino games, sports betting and poker). Its evolution at the heart of innovation is accompanied by a diversification and specialization of positions, with the creation of new cutting-edge jobs.

We are scaling our Platform Engineering function to give our Product Engineers a faster, safer, more self-service infrastructure foundation - and we are hiring a Senior Network & Platform Engineer to help build it.

YOUR ROLE

• You will sit at the intersection of networking and platform engineering, embedded in our Platform Engineering Area. You will own both the network fabric and the platform primitives that sit on top of it - treating infrastructure as code, building self-service capabilities with guardrails, and making sure Product Engineers can ship without infrastructure becoming a bottleneck.
• What You\'ll Do
• Own network platform capabilities as code - Design, deploy, and maintain Fortinet-based network fabric (FortiGate, FortiSwitch, SD-WAN, BGP, IPsec) using Terraform, Ansible, and Git-based workflows.
• Build self-service capabilities with guardrails - Provide Product Engineers with safe, scoped network primitives they can consume without filing a ticket.
• Keep it secure by default - Embed cybersecurity standards into IaC pipelines; partner with Security on threat modeling and compliance.
• Make it observable - Implement and maintain telemetry (Prometheus, Grafana) so reliability is measurable, not assumed.
• Continuously improve - Evaluate new tooling, eliminate friction, and evolve the platform alongside peers.
• Elevate the team - Share expertise; raise the bar on automation, security, and reliability standards.

YOUR PROFILE

• 7+ years of professional experience in network engineering, with at least 2 years in a platform or IaC-oriented role
• Bachelor\'s or master\'s in computer science, or equivalent experience
• Fortinet NSE 4 certification (or equivalent practical experience) - NSE 7 preferred
• Expert-level network engineering with deep Fortinet expertise (FortiGate, FortiSwitch); strong WAN/SD-WAN, BGP, IPsec, L2/L3 switching
• Hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible for network and systems automation
• Python and/or Go scripting for network automation and tooling
• Solid grasp of CI/CD and GitOps (Git, GitLab CI, ArgoCD)
• Hands-on experience with Prometheus and Grafana
• Working knowledge of cybersecurity standards and secure-configuration practices
• Strong sense of when to work autonomously and when to collaborate
• These are not required, but each one moves a candidate up the shortlist:
• Cloudflare - DNS, WAF, anti-DDoS, Magic Transit, Zero Trust / SASE (strong plus)
• Aruba switching experience
• Cloud-native networking - Kubernetes, Cilium, eBPF, Envoy Gateway
• Datadog for observability
• VMware, Nutanix, or HPE Alletra for compute/storage
• Software development background beyond scripting (Python, Go for tooling)

What We Offer

As well as enjoying a unique experience - centered around our values of Pleasure, Team Spirit, Performance, Boldness and Integrity - alongside 1.600 colleagues worldwide, you\'ll have the opportunity to contribute to the international development of a fast-growing family company.

Joining Gaming1 means becoming part of a human and entrepreneurial adventure where people are empowered to make an impact, grow and succeed together.

We offer:

• the opportunity to work on ambitious international projects within a solid and growing group
• a collaborative and high-performing work environment
• leadership based on trust, autonomy, talent and shared values
• continuous learning and career development opportunities through training and internal mobility
• a competitive salary and benefits package aligned with the local market
• a hybrid working model, with the possibility to work remotely up to 50% of your working time
• an international and collaborative environment where people come first
