Job description

The Position You are a technical voice the Engineering organization trusts and follows. You are part of a community of FanDuel’s most senior Engineers, focused on the organization’s most complex and ambiguous problems: shaping our future architecture, setting technical expectations and guidance, and setting and maintaining the highest engineering standards.
