The Position
Working in the payments space in FanDuel (in our Wallet domain), this Software Engineer role will focus on systems and integrations with 3rd parties for withdrawals, deposits, refunds and more. This is a growing space at FanDuel and is a critical team within FanDuel that interacts with a lot of internal and external engineering teams so the service needs to be fast, reliable and high quality!
Currently, the team is fairly backend focused (mainly using Java) but are starting to own more of the frontend journeys (JavaScript) with a likelihood of evolving into a more fullstack focused team long-term. There is a lot of progression in this team towards more modern technologies (such as K8s, Terraform, Spring Boot and more), so there is a lot of potential for learning and growth!
Some of your responsibilities will include:
- Creating high quality code to further our systems and technical solutions in the Payments space (using Java, JavaScript and Python)
- Focusing on operational excellence (leaving things better than when you found them)
- Actively participating in sprint ceremonies like daily huddles, backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint review and sprint retrospective
- Engaging in code reviews and pair-programming
- Problem-solving and debugging code, including Production Support
What We're Looking For
- Strong experience with Java, creating distributed, highly scalable and available backend systems and APIs.
- An interest (and ideally experience) creating frontend solutions with JavaScript
- Have an API first mentality (we use Kong for API Gateways)
- Experience working within a production support environment
- Working in a cloud environment (we use AWS)
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.
