THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

FanDuel is looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to join our Core Marketing Platforms vertical where our teams are building new products, features and services to support and enable FanDuel’s Marketing teams. Customer generosity is a key focus for FanDuel and one which has significant investment.

You will be a technical thought leader for the Engineering organisation and part of the community of our most senior Engineers, working with limited to no guidance and focusing on FanDuel's most complex, ambiguous problems as well as driving outcomes around programming languages, architecture, products, tools, approaches and processes. As part of this role, you own the technical strategy for an engineering vertical, with responsibility for technical architecture and operational excellence.

• Ensure services and platforms are stable and scalable whilst future proofing our technology
• Be the subject matter expert and voice of the technical roadmap and champion of technical initiatives
• You will be involved in technical design, strategy and roadmaps but prepared to write code and pair program with engineers

• You do not accept the status quo or restrict yourself to organisational boundaries – you influence other verticals and the organisation’s “North Star” technical strategy
• You regularly interact with executives up to the c-suite, distilling relevant information from a complex technical strategy and incorporating relevant business strategy into technical strategies.
