THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it
Much of what decides whether a fan stays with FanDuel happens either side of the bet: the sign-up that takes a minute, the deposit that clears first time on a Sunday afternoon, the withdrawal that lands when we said it would, and the protections that work quietly in the background for the people who need them.
We are looking for a Software Engineering Director to lead the teams behind that experience across FanDuel’s Customer Product Engineering (CPE) domain.

Making every moment more, for our customers. Your work always follows our principle Everything Begins with the Customer.
That means designing for extreme, event-driven peak load, where traffic arrives in minutes, and for a heavily regulated environment in which auditability and evidence matter as much as availability. It also means depending on other people’s systems: payment providers, identity and KYC vendors, geolocation suppliers. You build so that their bad day does not become our customers’ bad day.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will lead managers and senior engineers across several teams, set technical direction alongside your Principal and Senior Staff Engineers, make the difficult calls that do not have obvious answers, and create the conditions in which good teams…
