THE POSITION

Our roster has an opening with your name on it

As a Software Engineer within FanDuel's Trading Solutions team, you will be an essential part of a cross functional agile team that directly impacts our business. You will work collaboratively with a team to implement creative, high-quality solutions, scope effort and timelines, and balance priorities of our stakeholders and engineering needs. This team will work closely to deliver exceptionally high-quality software, while taking pride and ownership in testing, deploying, monitoring, and maintaining that software. Our engineers own every part of the software delivery lifecycle.

You will work directly with quantitative analysts at FanDuel to improve the major US sports platforms. You will be a domain expert on price modeling implementation and how that fits into the larger Risk and Trading landscape. You will go beyond the software developer role and will be called upon to identify opportunities yourself in the quantitative space to innovate through technology.

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 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. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.).

We are looking for engineers to actively engage in technical discussions, assist in designing and implementing solutions, and deliver constant improvements to our systems. We want you to be excited about constantly learning and driving your professional development. You should have many of the following skills and be eager to build the skills you don't!

You track security risks and mitigate and/or escalate them in a timely manner

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

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

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

Creative problem-solving ability

A passion for learning and always getting better

Most importantly, you are humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm. Responsible for the state of the code you both inherit and produce
