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.

In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.
