Job Summary

Fanatics Betting & Gaming (FBG) is building the industry's most trusted, scalable, and fan-centric sportsbook experience. Our Internal Platforms power critical systems that support customer operations, marketing, support, risk, and data—through a combination of Java backend services, APIs, event-driven systems, and integrations with the SaaS and CRM platforms our business teams run on.

We are seeking a Staff Java Software Engineer to set technical direction for the services and integrations that Internal Platforms runs on. This is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who operates with minimal guidance, takes on our most complex and often cross-functional problems, and raises the bar for everyone around them.

At this level, your impact is measured beyond the code you write. You will own architecture for significant parts of the platform, drive decisions that span multiple teams and systems, mentor other engineers, and partner directly with Product, Operations, Support, Marketing, Risk, and Data leadership to shape what gets built and why. You will still be hands-on—Staff engineers at FBG write and review code every week—but you will spend meaningful time on design, technical strategy, and multiplying the output of the teams you work with.

You do not need to be a Salesforce specialist. Some of our systems integrate with Salesforce for CRM and workflow automation, so exposure to it is a nice to have—but we're hiring for strength in Java, distributed systems, and integration design, and we expect you to pick up the platform specifics on the job.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture (Primary Focus)

• Own the architecture for major services, integrations, and data flows within Internal Platforms, from problem

g agents into production workflows. Familiarity with platforms such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, LangChain, Google Vertex AI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, CrewAI, or AutoGen is a plus.

• Fluency with AI-powered coding assistants to design, build, and test new functionality from the ground up—moving quickly while maintaining high code quality and test coverage—and interest in helping the broader team adopt these workflows effectively.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Salesforce as an integration target or platform—Salesforce APIs, platform events, or light development work in Apex, Lightning Web Components, or Flows. Helpful context, not a requirement.
• Salesforce certifications (Administrator, Developer).

What We Value

• Passion for building high-quality internal platforms that directly impact business outcomes.
• Strong ownership mindset: you own the outcome, not just your piece of it.
• A solutions-first approach—you anticipate problems and bring options, not just escalations.
• Genuine interest in making other engineers better.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment with incomplete information.
