Whether you’re looking for better career progression, improved financial security or just a better sense of belonging, we believe we’ve created a culture in which everyone can succeed, no matter how you got here.The PositionAs a Senior Software Engineer within the Responsible Gaming vertical, you will be working on systems that are paramount to the safety and security of our customers and to FanDuel. You’ll be working on a couple of different ‘brownfield’ projects that are just kicking off, where we are looking to implement full revamps.You will be a Senior Software Engineer who has experience developing frontend services, using tools and technologies such as React (or similar frameworks) and JavaScript. There is also the opportunity to get involved in backend development (Java), but this will always be a frontend leaning role.You will also work on upskilling the existing team (who are primarily backend developers) in this area.

• Creating highly available and scalable frontend applications
• Proactively identify new opportunities and advocate for and implement improvements on projects
• Leverage customer insights/data to inform decisions, balancing value for the customer with other business goals

• Engaging in code reviews and pair-programming
• Mentor, coach, upskill and knowledge-share with your team

What We’re Looking For

• Experience developing mainly frontend applications (or fullstack!) with React, React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript or similar (Angular/Vue)
• Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment
• Experience ideally across mobile and web applications with regular releases
• Knowledge of cloud technologies (we use AWS) would be an advantage but not essential

What You Can Expect

• Interesting work – working in a fast-paced and ever-changing industry, new problems and exciting solutions are never too far away. There are always opportunities to learn new skills and broaden your horizons
• A sense of achievement – Our teams own their own software and when that awesome new feature ships to users and the positive feedback starts rolling in, you can feel really proud of what you and your team created
• Personal development – clear and defined career pathways for every role at every level, a supportive manager, loads of learning opportunities and even 10% of your time to dedicate to your learning.
• Belonging – everyone at FanDuel works for each other, we win together, make mistakes together and have lots of fun doing it.
