Job description
The requirements listed in our job descriptions are guidelines, not hard and fast rules. You don’t have to satisfy every requirement or meet every qualification listed. If your skills are transferable and you are in the ballpark experience-wise, we’d love to speak to you.
The Position
Joining our Release Engineering team, you will be a Senior Platform Engineer with experience working in a cloud environment with Python (or similar). You’ll be working in an internal development team focusing on improving our developer services and tooling by automating controls for our production systems (FanDuel performs tens of thousands of deployments to live systems each year!).
In this role you’ll get to see the benefit that you provide to your customers (our other development teams) on a daily basis, and see the positive impact and difference you can make to their working lives.
As the team expands, there is a growing focus on security controls which will help our teams comply with state and federal regulations for our products (we create tools that help them to be compliant, we don’t do any auditing).
Our stack includes: Python, AWS, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, Lambda, Aurora, S3, AWS API gateway and Buildkite. We don’t expect experience with all of these - the team will support you in learning and developing your skillset, and FanDuel advocates for continuous learning!
Some of your responsibilities will include:
Design and implement scalable, reliable, and secure platform solutions within the Release Engineering domain.
Collaborate with product, engineering, and infrastructure teams to deliver impactful developer tooling.
Contribute to architectural decisions and technical strategy within the team.
Promote best practices around deployment artifacts, observability, and incident response.
Support compliance efforts by building tools that help teams meet regulatory requirements.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of learning and technical excellence.
Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies to improve platform capabilities
support best practices in observability, reliability, and incident response covering areas around regulatory requirements, sox, and change management
What We’re Looking For
Solid experience in platform/infrastructure engineering or adjacent software engineering roles
Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS), CI/CD systems, and container orchestration.
Proficiency in Python, Java, or similar programming languages.
Ability to take ownership of technical solutions and deliver high-quality outcomes.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Experience working in regulated environments or with compliance tooling is a plus.
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.
