About the Role 

As a Lead Engineer, you’re an expert in designing and coding across multiple programming languages, with strong knowledge of cloud technologies and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what technology can do. You excel at guiding engineers through complex technical challenges, applying the right technologies and best practices to deliver scalable solutions. You’ll lead discussions on design, scoping, and prioritisation across multiple projects. We work with the latest technologies, practices, and tools, so you’ll need to be comfortable with continuous learning, exploring new techniques, and running proof-of-concept evaluations to keep us at the cutting edge. 

About You 

You’re an experienced engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and building technology that pushes boundaries. You’re equally comfortable being hands-on with code as you are leading design conversations, and you’re passionate about delivering reliable, scalable systems that power world-class customer experiences. You’ll bring: 

• Expertise in designing and developing with .NET Core and C# and/or Java Spring-based microservices. 

• Strong experience with event-driven architecture and messaging platforms (Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS EventBridge or similar). 

• Solid knowledge of distributed caching (Redis, Memcached, etc.) and CI/CD practices (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Octopus). 

• Proven ability to build scalable, self-healing infrastructure in AWS. 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and a focus on accuracy. 

• Experience in writing high-quality code using TDD/BDD and robust testing frameworks. 

• The ability to mentor and guide engineers, while fostering a collaborative, innovative culture. 

Bonus points if you have: 

• Experience in high-traffic or mission-critical distributed systems. 

• Previous exposure to the wagering or sports tech industry. 

Key Requirements  

As a Lead Engineer at FanDuel, you’ll help shape the future of our sports trading platforms by: 

• Providing technical direction and leadership to ensure efficient delivery across projects.

• Driving best practices, ensuring high-quality code, robust testing, and modern observability standards. 

• Designing, building, and maintaining scalable, low-latency APIs and microservices architectures. 

• Improving platform resiliency by identifying risks, streamlining operations, and enabling faster iterations. 

• Owning services from design through to production, including post go-live support. 

• Mentoring and developing engineers, supporting career growth, and contributing to hiring. 

• Staying ahead of the curve by evaluating new tools, technologies, and practices to keep us at the cutting edge.
