Job Description:

We’re defining what it means to build and deliver the most extraordinary sports and entertainment experiences. Our global team is trailblazing new markets, developing cutting-edge products, and shaping the future of responsible gaming.

Here, “impossible” isn’t part of our vocabulary. You’ll face some of the toughest but most rewarding challenges of your career. They’re worth it. Channeling your inner grit will accelerate your growth, help us win as a team, and create unforgettable moments for our customers.

The Crown Is Yours

We're growing quickly and we’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer to help establish and lead a team centered around the mission of providing a best-in-class experience for our customers. This position requires strong technical skills and a bias toward collaboration. You will be working across teams, informing business decisions, and helping to expand our enterprise software platform.

What you’ll do as a Lead Software Engineer

• Take ownership for the design, development, maintenance, testing strategy, and operations of a full-stack team, with API services written primarily in C# with SQL databases hosted in AWS.
• Collaborate with business leads across the company to define milestones and deliveries for new functionality to be added to existing applications.
• Care about agility as much as you care about scalability. We roll out products very quickly and are looking for a team that can pivot at a moment’s notice.
• Work with your team under fast deadlines to design, build, and deliver innovative applications.
• Lead your team in design sessions and ensure your team delivers high-quality work that aligns with the missions of our applications and platform.

What you’ll bring

• You have experience as the ‘expert’ on a development team where you were responsible for everything from planning to delivering key features and management of those features.
• Expertise with at least one object-oriented language like C# or Java.
• Experience with .NET Framework or .NET Core is preferred.
• You have strong relational database skills using technologies like MySQL or SQL Server.
• Familiarity with modern cloud technologies, such as AWS services and infrastructure.
• You also have the ability to write automated comprehensive test suites at all levels of the architecture.

Join Our Team

We’re a publicly traded (NASDAQ: DKNG) technology company headquartered in Boston. As a regulated gaming company, you may be required to obtain a gaming license issued by the appropriate state agency as a condition of employment. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the process if this is relevant to your role.
