The Position
This Senior Software Engineer position is based within a small but growing team in our Account vertical, working on an absolutely critical backend service that affects every product! As our customer base continues to grow, our focus as an organisation, and within this team is how we can create scalable systems.
This is where you come in - helping to revamp the process; support with the move to a serverless database and contribute to the technical design and solution. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be proactive and passionate about continuous improvement, and within this smaller team, there is a huge opportunity to really influence the technical direction; expand your skillset and knowledge, and take on more challenging pieces of work.
Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Owning parts of the product and technology and becoming a subject matter expert
- Helping your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and ticket/metric/other reviews
- Working to resolve the root cause of complex problems, leaving software better and easier to maintain than when you found it
- Mentoring and coaching others
- Working in an Agile environment
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for most of the following:
- Experience developing distributed, high scalable and available backend systems and APIs with Java
- Proficiency working with relational, non-relational databases, messaging queues and concurrency
- A focus on operational excellence, constructively identifying problems and proposing solutions
- Understanding and exposure to creating software with scalability in mind
- Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS
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.
- Trust - A trusting work environment where productivity is valued above all else, giving you autonomy and ownership of your time and work
- Great financial package - Including salary, bonus, pension, private healthcare, share save scheme, flexible working & holiday policy along with a number of other benefits.
