About FanDuel

FanDuel is an innovative sports-tech entertainment company changing how fans engage with their favourite sports, teams, and leagues. We are the premier gaming destination in the United States, with a growing presence in Australia.

Headquartered in New York, with offices in Melbourne (alongside our Sportsbet counterparts), California, and New Jersey, we are a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT), the world’s largest sports betting and gaming operator.

The Position

Reporting to the Software Engineering Manager in our FanDuel Trading Solutions team, you will take a defined design and to turn it into code, applying appropriate technologies and current software engineering best practice. You will write secure, stable, testable, and maintainable code with minimal defects, and participate in team design, scoping, and prioritisation discussions.

The Game Plan
Everyone on our team has a part 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 minimize incidental complexity). You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.

We are looking for mid-senior level engineers to actively engage in technical discussions, assist in designing and implementing solutions, pair program with our more junior engineers, and deliver constant improvements to our systems. We want you to be excited about constantly learning and driving your professional development. You should have most, or all, of the following skills: 

• You write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices.
• You focus on operational excellence, constructively identifying problems and proposing solutions
• You take on projects and make software enhancements that improve the team software and processes
• You work to resolve the root cause of complex problems, leaving software better and easier to maintain than when you found it
• You estimate stories/tasks accurately and deliver them in time
• A passion for learning and always getting better
