UK Internship Programme - Software Engineering

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.

Our paid FanDuel Summer Internship is a 12-week program starting in late June, designed for those who are interested in a career in software engineering. You'll be at the heart of the action, sitting within a delivery team with access to a number of learning opportunities.

The Position

Software Engineering at FanDuel takes a number of different forms but in this program you will mainly focus on backend engineering. At FanDuel we mostly use Java to write back-end services, but other technologies/languages can include JavaScript, Python, SQL and No-SQL databases and AWS.

During your internship at FanDuel, you'll work within an Agile team, where you'll learn about our software development life cycle and gain first-hand experience of what it takes to deliver quality, production-ready code with full support from a dedicated mentor for the length of your internship.

What We're Looking For

At FanDuel we're committed to creating a level playing field so whether you're studying for an advanced degree from a top university, attending a bootcamp or learning to do it yourself on Youtube, all you need to do is show us you can code using an object-oriented language and we're here to help with the rest.

What You Can Expect

Competitive compensation is just the beginning. As part of our team, you can expect:

• A unique learning opportunity, working with a delivery team from day one.
• Access to cutting edge technologies and excellent hardware.
• Collaborating with and learning from top engineering talent.
• Curated learning aimed at filling the gaps not revising university/bootcamp content.
• Inclusive and collaborative colleagues who value and respect each other.
• A new technical challenge around every corner, we're never short of interesting problems to solve.
• An autonomous environment where you are empowered to make decisions in an environment where it's safe to get it wrong every once in a while.
