Lead Software Engineer - Frontend

The requirements listed in our job descriptions are guidelines, not hard and fast rules. You don’t have to satisfy every requirement or meet every qualification listed. If your skills are transferable and you are in the ballpark experience-wise, we'd love to speak to you.

FanDuel Group is a world-class team of brands and products that deliver sports betting, gaming and entertainment to millions of US sports fans every day. That’s no easy task, and wouldn't be possible without a fantastic team who have helped us pioneer new products and innovative features that make us a leader in the industry. Whether you’re looking for better career progression, improved financial security or just a better sense of belonging, we believe we’ve created a culture in which everyone can succeed, no matter how you got here.

The Position

We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer for our Payments Frontend team, building features relating to deposits, withdrawals and refunds. You'll be responsible for leading the UI strategy for FanDuel's payments systems, ensuring security, flexibility and a great customer experience. Your work focuses on complex, ambiguous problem areas in existing or new software initiatives.

• Take the long-term view and consider where each system is at in its life cycle and where appropriate, proactively fix architecture deficiencies.
• Make existing systems simpler (e.g. by consolidating redundant systems, deleting unnecessary code, or removing/updating out of date documentation). 
• Dividing a software project into parallel work that can be performed by you and other software engineers and then reassembled successfully into a cohesive launch. 
• Coaching and developing other software engineers' technical skills.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience developing mainly frontend applications with React, React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript or similar (Angular/Vue)
• Experience ideally across mobile and web applications with regular releases 
• Knowledge of cloud technologies (we use AWS) would be an advantage but not essential
• Experience working in an Agile Scrum environment

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.
