THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it
We’re looking for passionate & experienced technologists, strong communicators and those with a commitment to continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will have the confidence to propose pragmatic solutions to complex problems and be eager to learn from and educate others.
As a Staff Software Engineer working for our Sportsbook Channels vertical, you will work in empowered, multi-disciplinary teams, autonomously tackling complex challenges that provide the very best experiences and products as we build out an exciting and innovative customer experience within the fast paced and growing sports betting environment. You will own and become subject matter experts of areas of your product and technology stack and will be the go-to person for those areas. You take the lead on new features and deliver it end-to-end. You enjoy coaching and developing other software engineers' technical skills.
You make appropriate implementation trade-off decisions. You take the long-term view. You participate in team design, scoping, and prioritization discussions. You seek to learn the business context and technologies behind your team's software. You work effectively with other team members and identify any opportunities or problems arising from technical decisions. You invent, refine, and develop your solutions to ensure they are meeting customer needs and team goals. You are a passionate advocate for your customer.
THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play
Your work is consistently of high quality. You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices. You work with your team to invent, design, and build software that is stable and performant. You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. Your solutions are pragmatic. You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an Engineer unfamiliar with the system can understand. You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity). You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.).
- You own parts of product and technology & strive to become a subject matter expert. You work on project ideas with product, stakeholders, and peers, balancing customer requirements with the team requirements.
- You help your team evolve by actively participating and leading in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and tech debt ticket creation/refinement.
- You write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices. You test your code thoroughly. You help lead your team when it comes to code quality.
- You work to resolve the root cause of complex problems, leaving software better and easier to maintain than when you found it.
- When confronted with discordant views, you can find the best way forward and influence others to follow that path by building consensus.
- You foster a constructive dialogue and seek resolutions in a professional way.
- You keep yourself up to date with market standards and open-source frameworks.
- You provide excellent customer support on an on-call rotation, where required.
- Most importantly, you are humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm. You’re responsible for the state of the code you both inherit and produce.
