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. 

ReIgnite Career Returners Programme  

FanDuel are actively seeking technology professionals who are eager to return to the workforce. We value the unique perspectives and diverse experiences that career returners can bring to our organisation and are excited to be launching our 2025 returners programme here in Edinburgh.  

We operate a hybrid work model and are open to flexible working patterns as well as part-time opportunities.  

Through this programme you will have the opportunity to apply your previous software engineering experience and contribute to exciting projects within the organisation. You will be supported by your line manager and team members, along with having an assigned buddy to coach you through our process and beyond. You will also be part of a cohort of returners so you won’t be going it alone.  

The Position  

At FanDuel, software is developed by Agile delivery teams, primarily using Scrum or Kanban. You’ll work with product customers and technology leadership to understand initiatives and designs, set delivery timelines and deliver solutions. You’ll learn our Software Delivery Life Cycle - implementing and deploying solutions rapidly while also playing a part in implementation decisions, participating in team design, scoping and prioritisation discussions. 

Working in our Core Product & Experience (CPE) domain, we have both frontend and fullstack opportunities available. On our frontend, we use Kotlin, React, React Native, JavaScript and TypeScript. On the backend we use Java, Spring and Spring Boot. We also use AWS; both relational and non-relational databases, microservices and RestAPIs.  

What We’re Looking For 

  • Experience in a previous software engineering role across frontend or fullstack technologies 
  • Desire to learn and develop your skills through a growth mindset  
  • Creative approach to problem-solving 

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.
