    FanDuel Group is a world-class team of brands and products that deliver sports betting, gaming and entertainment to millions of US sports fans every day.

    SUMMARY OF THE ROLE


    Free to Play is a new and growing vertical in FanDuel group, with the aim to bring new users in the ecosystem with new, exciting, fun & free games, make users feel more welcome and give them a seamless experience across all FanDuel products.

    This engineering-led, small vertical, is formed with teams which pride themselves in being efficient, self-managed and cohesive. You are going to be the backbone of one of these teams.

    You will be working on a variety of games (not to be confused with video games) which are greenfield and developing platform capabilities.

    We're looking for passionate & experienced technologists, strong communicators and those with a commitment to continuous improvement.

    The ideal candidate will have the confidence to propose pragmatic solutions to complex problems and be eager to learn from and educate others.

    As a senior software engineer, you will work in empowered, multidisciplinary teams, autonomously tackling complex challenges that provide the very best experiences and products for a growing community of millions of players.

    You will own and become subject matter experts of areas of product and technology stack and will be the go to person for those areas.

    You thrive on technological advancement of the team and always working towards it's improvement.

    The Position - Senior Software Engineer - Free to Play

    You are a significant and autonomous contributor. Your work is consistently of high quality. You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices. You work with your team to invent, design and build software that is stable and performant.

    You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not.

    Your solutions are pragmatic.

    You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.

    You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimise incidental complexity). You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc).

    Everyone on our team has a role to play, on a daily basis, you'll be involved in the following:

    Work in project ideas with customers, stakeholders, and peers.

    Own parts of product and technology and become subject matter experts.

    Write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices. You test your code thoroughly.

    Help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and ticket/metric/COE reviews.

    Focus on operational excellence, constructively identifying problems and proposing solutions.

    Take on projects and make software enhancements that improve the team software and processes.


    Work to resolve the root cause of complex problems, leaving software better and easier to maintain than when you found it.


    You are able to train new team-mates on how your team's software is constructed, how it operates, how secure it is, and how it fits into the bigger picture.

    You help recruit and interview for your team.

    On-call rotation where required. You provide excellent customer support.

    You keep yourself up to date with market standards and open-source frameworks.

    Most importantly, you are; humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm.

    What we're looking for in our next team mate:

    Proficient in writing distributed, highly scalable and available backend systems and APIs using Java or similar programming languages.

    Proficient working with relational, non-relational databases, messaging queues and concurrency.

    Familiarity working with GraphQL and push (Web Sockets) based architectures.

    Proficient in a broad range of data structures and algorithms.

    Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS.

    Understating of containers (e.g. Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

    Passion to automate your work by using scripting languages e.g. Python, Shell scripts.

    Able to communicate technical concepts simply and successfully, to both technical and non-technical audiences.

    Familiarity working in an Agile environment.

    What You Can Expect


    Interesting work - working in a fast-paced and ever-changing industry, new problems and exciting solutions are never too far away.

    There are always opportunities to learn new skills and broaden your horizons

    A sense of achievement - Our teams own their own software and when that awesome new feature ships to users and the positive feedback starts rolling in, you can feel really proud of what you and your team created


    Personal development - clear and defined career pathways for every role at every level, a supportive manager, loads of learning opportunities and even 10% of your time to dedicate to your learning.


    Belonging - everyone at FanDuel works for each other, we win together, make mistakes together and have lots of fun doing it.
