Overview

THE POSITION Our roster has an opening with your name on it. We're growing our Trader Automation Engineering team that works on software pricing betting markets for major US sports. The team collaborates with stakeholders across the organization to build trader automation tooling and identify opportunities for technical innovation within Risk and Trading. You will be part of Fan Duel’s Trading Solutions team, working in a cross‑functional agile environment to deliver high-quality software with ownership of testing, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.

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 limit the use of short-term workarounds, avoid unnecessary complexity, and 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).

We are looking for engineers who actively engage in technical discussions, assist in designing and implementing solutions, and deliver constant improvements to our systems.

• You track security risks and mitigate and/or escalate them in a timely manner
• You focus on operational excellence, identify problems, and propose 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
• On-call rotation where required and you provide excellent customer support
• You stay up to date with market standards and open-source frameworks
• Creative problem-solving ability
• A passion for learning and continuous improvement
• Humility, pragmatism, self-management, curiosity, and willingness to challenge the norm; responsible for the state of the code you inherit and produce
