Job description

At Aristocrat, we are on a mission to bring happiness to life through the power of play! As a leading entertainment and content‑building company, we are powered by technology and innovation, delivering world‑class mobile and casino games to millions of people daily. Our dynamic culture and goal‑focused approach develop an inclusive environment where your contributions matter. Joining us as a Staff Engineer, Delivery, you'll play a pivotal role in driving our engineering team's success and ensuring flawless execution of our projects. This is your chance to be part of an ambitious team that values collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous growth!

What You'll Do

Own sprint and achievement planning, ensuring work is accurately sequenced, prioritized, and resourced.

• Assign tasks across the team based on capacity, technical fit, and business priority.
• Proactively surface and remove blockers — whether technical, process‑related, or cross‑team dependencies — before they become delivery risks.
• Track progress and communicate delivery status clearly to engineering leads and collaborators.
• Hold the team to consistent, predictable execution and flag risks early.
• Stay hands‑on in the codebase, contributing to features and systems across our analytics and AI platform alongside the team.
• Conduct detailed, constructive code reviews that raise the quality bar and accelerate team learning.

Contribute to technical build and architecture discussions, helping the team navigate trade‑offs and make well‑informed decisions.

• Model and uphold engineering standards around code quality, testing coverage, and documentation.
• Coordinate with other engineering teams, customer success managers, and project managers to manage cross‑functional dependencies and align on priorities.
• Represent the team's capacity and commitments accurately in planning and refinement ceremonies.
• Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers, supporting their technical development and day‑to‑day confidence.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of professional experience in software development, ideally within data‑intensive or analytics‑focused products.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating and driving delivery within an agile or sprint‑based team environment.
• Hands‑on proficiency with Node.js, React, and Python, and experience managing delivery workflows in Jira.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including build pipelines, version control workflows, and release processes.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities and keep multiple workstreams on track without compromising technical quality.
• Comfortable working with limited direction on complex, ambiguous problems and exercising independent judgement to find solutions.
• Strong communication skills — able to present delivery status, risks, and technical context clearly to varied audiences.
• Experience mentoring engineers at earlier career stages and a genuine interest in developing others.
• Collaborative outlook with the ability to influence and gain the cooperation of peers and senior partners.
