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. 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, 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 have deep experience with C Sharp and backend systems.

• You help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and ticket/metric/COE reviews
• You classify, store, and handle data in accordance with FanDuel policies
• You track security risks and mitigate and/or elevate 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
• You can train new 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
• You foster a constructive dialogue and seek resolutions in a professional way
• You help recruit and interview for your team
• You estimate stories/tasks accurately and deliver them in time
• You mentor and help to develop others
• On‑call rotation where required. You provide excellent customer support
• You keep yourself up to date with market standards, open‑source frameworks
• 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
• Creative problem‑solving ability
• A passion for learning and always getting better
