THE POSITION

Our roster has an opening with your name on it

We’re looking for passionate technologists, strong communicators, and those with a commitment to continuous improvement.

You write secure, stable, testable, maintainable code with minimal defects. You are proficient in a broad range of data structures and algorithms, knowing when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. You make appropriate implementation trade-off decisions. 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 & identify any opportunities/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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Our Responsible Gaming team's mission is to create a best in class regulatory experience for our customers. We do this by working with internal stakeholders and our Regulatory Partners to build scalable, flexible solutions to satisfy regulatory requirements in jurisdictions across the US and Canada. We strive to build internal tools that have clear contracts and are easy to integrate with to enable teams across FanDuel’s portfolio.

THE GAME PLAN

Everyone on our team has a part to play

  • You own parts of product and technology & strive to become a subject matter expert.
  • You write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices. You test your code thoroughly.
  • You write code that captures the essential nature of the solution and is appropriately flexible, reusable, efficient, and adaptable to changing requirements.
  • You ensure high code quality in code reviews. You adopt approaches (e.g. set up best practices and coding standards, help resolve differences of opinions) to foster an effective/collaborative code review culture.
  • You are able to independently design software components in well scoped scenarios, with simplicity and maintenance as key considerations. Your components are testable, debuggable and have logical APIs that are not easily misused.
  • You know when to make significant refactors and when it’s better to leave things as-is.
  • You help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and support ticket reviews.
  • You clearly document your software to ensure that future generations of developers understand the intention behind the features and components you build.
  • In the event of a problem, you can troubleshoot and thoroughly resolve defects.
  • You provide excellent customer support.
  • Most importantly, you are humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm. Responsible for the state of the code you both inherit and produces.
