FanDuel Group is a world-class team of brands and products that deliver sports betting, gaming and entertainment to millions of US sports fans every day. That’s no easy task, and wouldn't be possible without a fantastic team who have helped us pioneer new products and innovative features that make us a leader in the industry. 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 team

CPE Enablement (API) are working to improve engineering delivery across FanDuel by increasing velocity and removing undifferentiated heavy lifting from product engineering teams. To do this we are delivering solutions that enable teams to expose services in line with our API First strategy.

The Position

As a technical leader on the API Enablement team, you work to deliver the right solutions with limited guidance. Your work will focus on understanding common problems and identifying solutions that provide tooling and guidance to other teams to solve those problems without rework while working according to FanDuel’s best practices. Within the team, you will be able to work with your team mates, identifying, prioritizing, splitting, organizing and reporting on work in a way that ensures successful delivery, doing whatever is needed to get the solutions into the hands of your colleagues. You will also focus on championing those solutions throughout the wider engineering organisation, showing best practices and giving guidance by speaking in company wide Town Halls or doing demos and workshops with other teams. Once those solutions are agreed you’ll be able to influence and organise work across teams to ensure successful adoption.

You contribute to the professional development of colleagues, improving their technical knowledge and the engineering practices through coaching and mentoring. You ensure your team is stronger because of your presence, but does not require your presence to be successful. You work with peers outside the team to ensure you are abreast of other technical challenges in the company so that you can identify how to assist them better.
