Senior Data Engineer

THE POSITION

Our roster has an opening with your name on it

At FanDuel, our data platforms power mission-critical products used by millions of customers every day. To meet the scale, speed, and complexity of our business, we need to ensure our data services are resilient, performant, and highly reliable—even in the face of failures or large-scale disruption.

This Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) role sits within our Data organization and will play a critical role in building and maturing our reliability engineering and disaster recovery capabilities. You will help define the standards, architectures, and operating models that allow FanDuel’s data infrastructure to withstand outages, recover rapidly, and continuously deliver against demanding reliability targets.

As a Senior Engineer, you will not only be deeply hands-on in implementation but will also act as a technical leader—mentoring engineers, setting direction, and driving adoption of best practices across the organization. You will work closely with engineering and operations teams to establish observability frameworks, define service-level objectives (SLOs), automate recovery procedures, and architect cross-region failover solutions. Your expertise will directly shape how FanDuel safeguards its data platforms and ensures business continuity during critical events.

In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.

THE GAME PLAN

Everyone on our team has a part to play

• Design and maintain highly available, scalable data platform infrastructure on AWS (Databricks, Redshift, Airflow).
• Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize performance across clusters, pipelines, and workflows.
• Implement infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) to automate deployment and recovery.
• Establish and monitor SLOs / SLIs, building observability and automation for reliability at scale.
• Lead business continuity and disaster recovery planning, including cross-region failover and backup strategies.
• Drive incident management end-to-end : response, escalation, post-mortems, and root cause analysis.
• Champion continuous improvement, applying learnings from incidents and performance data to strengthen resilience.
