THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it
As a Software Engineer within FanDuel’s Trading Solutions team, you will be an essential part of a cross functional agile team that directly impacts our business. You will work collaboratively with a team to implement creative, high-quality solutions, scope effort and timelines, and balance priorities of our stakeholders and engineering needs.
