  THE POSITION

  Our roster has an opening with your name on it

  FanDuel is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, you will play a crucial role in managing and growing our engineering teams. You will be responsible for overseeing the development of complex software systems, guiding engineering projects, and collaborating with cross-functional teams and offshore teams to ensure successful product delivery. This role requires a seasoned engineering leader with a strong technical background, excellent communication skills, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality software products.

  Key Responsibilities:

  • Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of talented engineers, providing guidance, feedback, and coaching to foster their professional growth.

  • Project Management: Manage engineering projects from concept to delivery, ensuring that they meet quality, timeline, and budgetary requirements.

  • Technical Expertise: Maintain a deep understanding of the technical aspects of our products and provide technical leadership to the team.

  • Collaboration: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and offshore teams including Frontend, Backend, product management, quality assurance, to define project goals, requirements, and priorities.

  THE GAME PLAN

  Everyone on our team has a part to play

  • Identify and execute on opportunities that have area/group-wide impact.

  • Execute large projects to a very high standard - e.g. against a tight deadline with significant consequences of failure, or in a manner that allows rapid learning to clarify significant ambiguity, or to a standard of quality well exceeding that of the current system (though not all simultaneously).

  • Identify which levers to pull to drive meaningful results and understand the wider, cross-functional implications of the work. Proactively account for risks and monitor their likelihood. Accounts for new capabilities necessary to deliver large-scale business impact and work closely with partner teams to prioritize the development of these capabilities.

  • Deliver net-new ways for our team/org to measure and communicate customer impact.

  • Have a sense of responsibility and obligation to act on opportunities and create alignment across the engineering org/company to improve outcomes for our customers.

  • Own your decisions and mistakes and take action to prevent similar mistakes in the future, sharing the learnings with others.

  • Unblock teams by assessing and eliminating the root cause, including recommending process and scale improvements.

  • Have a holistic view of the engineering org, customer insights and FanDuel's goals and use your experience and judgment to make decisions optimized for the wider org, rather than your local project alone.

  • Act thoughtfully and decisively in critical situations. Instead of trying to build consensus, you seek diverse perspectives, encourage productive debate with the right stakeholders and lead decision-making in critical situations even when making unpopular decisions.
