Senior Data Platform Engineer (Liege - Belgium)

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. 

As part of this growth, Gaming1 is looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join the Data Product team within the Platform Engineering branch. 

This is a senior position embedded in a Data Mesh and Platform-as-a-Product approach. This role is not a traditional Data Engineer position: you will build the data platform used by Data Engineers and Data Analysts, delivering reusable services, tooling, and self-service capabilities. 

You will join a small, specialized team whose mission is to enable data teams across multiple product domains to operate autonomously, consistently, and at scale. 

You will report to the Platform Engineering Manager and collaborate closely with Data Engineers, Data Analysts, Architects, and Infrastructure teams. 

The main objective of the role is to design, build, and evolve a robust and modern data platform, maximizing its adoption and impact across the organization. 

YOUR ROLE

As a Senior Data Platform Engineer, you will:

• Design, build, and maintain backend and platform services powering the data platform
• Create reusable, scalable platform capabilities rather than one-off solutions
• Translate data domain needs into clean service designs, leveraging DDD and Hexagonal Architecture principles
• Operate cloud-native services on AWS and Kubernetes, managing the full service lifecycle (versioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring)
• Work closely with Data Engineers and Data Analysts to drive adoption and usability of platform capabilities
• Act as a senior technical contributor, sharing knowledge and elevating overall team performance
• Measure success through platform adoption, self-service enablement, and data team autonomy

YOUR PROFILE

• 4+ years of experience as a Data Platform Engineer or Data Engineer
• Is a Data Engineer at heart with a strong platform mindset
• Has strong technical expertise in:

  • Data Mesh concepts and implementations
  • DDD and Hexagonal Architecture
• Is autonomous, product-oriented, and comfortable collaborating across teams
• Communicates complex technical concepts clearly and documents solutions for scale
• Is fluent in English (spoken and written); French is a plus

As well as having a unique experience - centered around our values of pleasure, team spirit, performance, boldness and integrity - alongside 1,200 employees around the world, we offer:

• the opportunity to contribute to the international development of a family company from Liège
