THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it
As the senior-most technical Knowledge & Context Engineer, you will design and operationalize a centralized multimodal memory architecture spanning vector retrieval, knowledge graphs, ontologies, metadata systems, runtime memory injection, and lineage and governance frameworks.
This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering, distributed systems, and applied intelligence. You will lead the strategy and execution for how enterprise knowledge is structured, represented, governed, retrieved, and operationalized across agents, copilots, automation systems, and customer-facing AI products.
Importantly, you will sit at the cutting edge of building the cognitive substrate for an AI-native enterprise. Come join us as a hands-on thought leader who innovates by doing.
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
Build foundational content intelligence systems: Design systems for ingestion, indexing, embeddings, metadata, retrieval, lineage, governance, and auditability that can support both internal and customer-facing AI use cases. This includes customers, media and marketing assets, product features, production code, websites, game sounds, customer service experiences, operational workflows, and other enterprise content.
Establish enterprise knowledge graphs and ontologies: Define and implement a regulatory-compliant knowledge graph strategy that creates deep context about FanDuel's products, employees, operations, customers, and systems. Own the design of graph databases, semantic models, ontologies, entity resolution patterns, and relationships across vector and non-vector data. Build the connective tissue that allows AI systems and agents to reason over enterprise context with precision, transparency, and control.
Design secure memory patterns for agents: Create reusable design patterns for how AI agents acquire, store, retrieve, update, and discard context during runtime. This includes short-term memory, long-term memory, episodic memory, summarization, context injection, retrieval augmentation, and governed memory sharing across tools and systems. Ensure memory systems are efficient, secure, auditable, and appropriate for regulated environments.
Champion responsible AI development: Ensure knowledge, retrieval, graph, and memory systems meet regulatory requirements, ethical standards, privacy obligations, and responsible gaming principles. Build safeguards, access controls, provenance, explainability, monitoring, and auditability into the platform from day one.
In six months, you'll know you're heading on the right path if you've built:
- Reusable runtime memory patterns that are being used by multiple agents to securely acquire, retrieve, summarize, and apply context during execution.
- A production-grade graph and ontology framework connecting products, customers, employees, operations, systems, and content with clear lineage, access controls, and regulatory compliance.
- The first context sets of centralized, governed multimodal vector store and retrieval layer supporting AI applications across customer, product, marketing, engineering, operations, and support domains.
- Teams can build AI solutions faster because retrieval, memory, metadata, governance, and knowledge graph capabilities are available as shared primitives rather than bespoke pipelines.
THE STATS
What we're looking for in our next teammate
- 7+ years of engineering experience, preferably working with large distributed systems that support a mix of data and software development activities. Bonus to consulting engineers and people with experience on early start-up teams.
- Track record of taking products from concept to launch in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
- Practical fluency with generative AI tools and concepts—especially graph, RAG, AgenticRAG, fine-tuning, and anti-RAG patterns.
- Experience building or operating vector and graph DBs, ontology, semantic search, and runtime memory evaluations.
- Ability to operate autonomously, create clarity from ambiguity, and influence across a matrixed organization.
- Strong communication skills—able to translate AI concepts into clear value narratives for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- High ownership mindset with a bias for action and outcomes over outputs.
- For bonus points, experience and background in gaming, fintech, marketplace, or other regulated industries.

Target FanDuel's Platform and Infrastructure Teams
FanDuel's highest-volume engineering hiring sits in real-time data pipelines, payments, and betting platform infrastructure. Framing your resume around distributed systems, low-latency architecture, or Kotlin and Go aligns directly with the stack they're actively building on.
Confirm OPT Dates Before Applying
If you're on F-1 OPT, map your remaining authorization window against FanDuel's typical interview-to-offer timeline. A start date that falls inside your grace period creates complications, so factor in the 60-day grace period and H-1B cap-gap rules before you apply.
Disclose Sponsorship Needs in the Recruiter Screen
FanDuel's recruiters assess sponsorship eligibility early. State your visa type and what you need sponsored in the first call rather than waiting for an offer. This avoids late-stage delays and lets both sides move through the process with accurate information.
Understand How Gambling Industry Licensing Affects Your Timeline
Many U.S. states require FanDuel to conduct background checks on employees before they can work on licensed products. This licensing review can run parallel to USCIS processing but occasionally extends your actual start date beyond the visa approval date.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Open Roles by Visa Type
Filtering Software Engineer openings at FanDuel by the visa category you need saves time during a competitive hiring cycle. Migrate Mate lets you browse FanDuel's current postings specifically filtered for sponsored roles, so you're not manually screening dozens of listings.
Prepare Documentation for PERM Early If Targeting a Green Card
If your goal is permanent residence via EB-2 or EB-3, ask FanDuel's immigration team during the offer stage whether they initiate PERM concurrently with your H-1B. DOL's PERM process has its own audit and recruitment documentation requirements that your employer controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does FanDuel sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, FanDuel sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineer roles. The company has an established process for managing cap-subject H-1B registrations in March and supports cap-exempt transitions for engineers already holding H-1B status with prior employers. If you're currently on OPT, FanDuel can bridge you through the H-1B lottery cycle using cap-gap provisions, provided your OPT is still valid when the registration period opens.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at FanDuel?
Apply directly through FanDuel's careers page, or browse their open Software Engineer roles filtered by visa sponsorship availability on Migrate Mate. Before applying, review the specific team's tech stack requirements, as FanDuel's engineering roles span real-time betting systems, mobile platforms, and data infrastructure, each with distinct expectations. Tailoring your application to the product area rather than applying broadly increases your chances of moving past the initial screen.
Which visa types does FanDuel commonly sponsor for Software Engineers?
FanDuel sponsors H-1B, E-3 visa, TN visa, and F-1 OPT and CPT for Software Engineers, and supports Green Card pathways via EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-tenured employees. Australian citizens are eligible for the E-3 visa category, which has no lottery and allows renewable two-year work periods. Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles can pursue TN visa status, which is processed directly at the border without USCIS filing.
What qualifications does FanDuel expect for sponsored Software Engineer roles?
FanDuel's Software Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, which also satisfies the specialty occupation requirement for H-1B and E-3 sponsorship. Beyond the degree, engineering candidates are expected to demonstrate experience with distributed systems, backend services, or mobile development. Roles tied to real-time odds or payments infrastructure often require specific experience with high-throughput, low-latency systems.
How do I time a visa transfer to FanDuel to avoid gaps in work authorization?
If you're transferring an H-1B from another employer, FanDuel can file an H-1B transfer petition and you can start working once USCIS receives it, without waiting for approval, under portability rules. For OPT holders, confirm your remaining OPT validity covers the onboarding period and that a STEM OPT extension is filed or already approved before your start date. USCIS premium processing, which FanDuel can elect to pay, reduces adjudication to around 15 business days.
