This is a fullstack role, with a focus on the frontend, using React, React Native, TypeScript and Java Script. You don’t need to be an expert in everything you will have a solid understanding of frontend technologies and logic, and an interest in branching out into backend services and infrastructure technologies.
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 a subject matter expert of areas of product and technology stack and will be the go to person for those areas.

Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Working in cross-functional and cross-initiative teams in an Agile environment
- Writing simple and extendable code following standards and best practices, and testing your code thoroughly
- Helping your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and ticket/metric/COE reviews
- Advocate for, champion and own new practices, bringing everyone in Sportsbook along on the journey
- Take on projects and make software enhancements that improve the team software and processes
- Focus on operational excellence, constructively identifying problems and proposing solutions
- Train and mentor 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
What We’re Looking For
You will have most of the following skills:
- Experience developing mainly frontend applications (or fullstack) with React, React Native, TypeScript, Node.JS or similar (Angular/Vue)
- Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, GoCD or Buildkite
- Understand how your work could impact other teams, and what dependencies could be affected
- Understanding and experience of DevOps concepts and tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform (this would be a bonus)
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.
- Trust - A trusting work environment where productivity is valued above all else, giving you autonomy and ownership of your time and work
