About FanDuel

FanDuel is an innovative sports-tech entertainment company changing how fans engage with their favourite sports, teams, and leagues. We are the premier gaming destination in the United States, with a growing presence in Australia. Headquartered in New York, with offices in Melbourne, California, and New Jersey, we are a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment, the world’s largest sports betting and gaming operator.

The Position

Reporting to the Software Engineering Manager in our FanDuel Trading Solutions team, you will take a defined design and turn it into code, applying appropriate technologies and current software engineering best practices. You will write secure, stable, testable, and maintainable code with minimal defects, and participate in team design, scoping, and prioritisation discussions.

The Game Plan

Everyone on our team has a part to play. You are a significant and autonomous contributor. Your work is consistently of high quality. You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices. You work with your team to invent, design, and build software that is stable and performant. You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. Your solutions are pragmatic. You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand. You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.

We are looking for a Mid-level Engineer (.Net) to actively engage in technical discussions, assist in designing and implementing solutions, pair program with our more junior engineers, and deliver constant improvements to our systems. We want you to be excited about constantly learning and driving your professional development.

• Proven software engineering experience, with strong hands-on expertise in .NET Core, C#, IoC and dependency injection.
• Demonstrated AI fluency, including the ability to use AI-assisted engineering tools and apply AI thoughtfully to improve software development, quality, and delivery.
• Experience with event-driven architecture, messaging technologies such as Kafka, RabbitMQ or AWS EventBridge, and distributed caching solutions such as Redis or Memcached.
• Strong knowledge of unit testing, mocking frameworks, TDD or BDD, CI/CD practices, cloud infrastructure, multithreading and low-latency programming.
• Experience building high-traffic, distributed or high-throughput mission-critical software systems.
