Our more than 22,000 employees are committed to relentlessly enhancing the fan experience and delighting sports fans globally.
Overview
Fanatics Betting & Gaming (FBG) is the online and retail sports betting subsidiary of Fanatics Holdings, Inc. As a Staff Engineer on the Balance and Ledger team, you will be the technical owner of the ledger and balance services that hold customer funds across Fanatics.
Balance and Ledger will be a shared ledger and a customer-level balance that can be used across Sportsbook and Casino, Markets, and other LOBs. You will design the systems that make this possible: a ledger that is correct and auditable, a balance model that enforces which funds can be used where, and a migration path that moves existing wallets onto the shared platform without disrupting customers.
This role combines deep backend expertise with architectural leadership. You will set the technical direction for the balance platform, work closely with Payments, Fraud, Responsible Gaming, Finance, Legal, and Compliance partners, and guide engineers across several teams as new businesses adopt the shared ledger.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture of the ledger and balance services, including the data model, consistency guarantees, and the interfaces other businesses use to read balances and authorize spend.
- Design and build distributed services in Java and Spring Boot that handle high transaction volume with strict correctness, idempotency, and auditability requirements.
- Model funds by type and eligibility, so that each portion of a customer's balance is usable only where client, product, customer location, and transaction type allow, and so that a regulator-driven restriction can be applied quickly and safely.
- Lead the migration of existing business wallets onto the shared ledger in phases, including dual-running, reconciliation, cutover, and rollback plans that avoid customer-visible downtime.
- Architect event-driven integration using java and architectural patterns so that balance changes are published reliably and downstream consumers can depend on ordering and delivery.
- Carry responsible gaming protections with the balance, working with the Responsible Gaming and Fraud teams so that limits, self-exclusion, and other customer protections remain enforced as funds are used across businesses.
- Work with Finance, Legal, and Compliance on how funds are attributed between businesses, how settlement and chargebacks are handled, and what data may be shared across Fanatics entities.
- Build for reconciliation and audit, including complete transaction histories, financial reporting feeds, and tooling that lets Operations and Finance verify balances independently.
- Lead technical initiatives that span multiple teams, and run architectural reviews, design sessions, and incident postmortems.
- Mentor engineers and raise the standard for security, observability, reliability, and testing across the platform.
- Partner with product, frontend, and mobile teams so that balance behavior is clear and consistent in every customer-facing experience.
- Be open to occasional travel to Fanatics offices or industry events for planning, collaboration, and team development.
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot.
- Experience designing and operating a ledger, wallet, balance service, or another financial system of record where correctness and auditability are requirements.
- Strong command of transactional consistency, idempotency, concurrency control, and relational data modeling in systems that cannot lose or double-count a transaction.
- Experience building event-driven systems and working with message streaming platforms such as Kafka.
- Demonstrated success setting technical direction and driving alignment across multiple teams.
- Experience migrating live, high-traffic systems with minimal customer impact.
- Ability to explain complex technical tradeoffs clearly to engineering, product, finance, and leadership audiences.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, regulated environment with changing priorities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in online gaming, sports betting, fintech, banking, or payments.
- Experience with a shared platform used by several business units, including managing adoption, versioning, and ownership boundaries.
- Experience with financial reconciliation, settlement, or accounting-oriented data models.
- Familiarity with data privacy and consent requirements when customer data moves between legal entities.
- Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and observability tooling such as Datadog, Grafana, or CloudWatch.
- Interest in developer experience, clean API design, and systems that remain maintainable as more teams depend on them.
Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components, such as onsite interviews or Launching into Better: LIVE—a multi-day cultural immersion in New York City for full-time, non-seasonal hires. These sessions are designed to build connection and bring our culture to life, though specific travel and participation requirements will be confirmed based on your role and location. Your recruiter will provide clear guidance at each stage of the process.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Staff Engineer
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation requirements
Staff Engineer roles require a directly related bachelor's degree, not just years of experience. A Singapore polytechnic diploma alone won't qualify. Confirm your NUS, NTU, or SMU engineering degree maps to the O*NET occupation profile before targeting H-1B1 visa employers.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to filter Staff Engineer roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship. This shows real sponsorship intent, not just a checkbox on a job posting.
Distinguish H-1B1 from H-1B when talking to recruiters
Most U.S. recruiters default to H-1B visa assumptions and mention the lottery as a blocker. Tell them upfront you hold Singaporean citizenship and qualify for H-1B1 visa, which has no lottery and processes directly at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore.
Confirm your employer will certify the LCA before signing
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before your consular appointment. Get written confirmation during the offer stage that their legal team handles this step, since delays here push back your entire start date.
Prepare your degree equivalency documentation early
The consular officer will assess whether your Singaporean engineering qualifications meet U.S. specialty occupation standards. Gather official transcripts, degree certificates, and a credential evaluation from a NACES-member agency before your embassy appointment.
Use your 10-day grace period strategically between roles
H-1B1 visa status ends when your employment does, but you have a 10-day grace period after your final day. If you're changing employers, your new employer's LCA must be certified and your new H-1B1 petition filed before that window closes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Staff Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Yes. Staff Engineer positions require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a directly related field, which satisfies the specialty occupation definition under USCIS guidelines. The role must genuinely require that specific degree, not just list it as preferred. Employers confirm this requirement when they file the Labor Condition Application with DOL.
How does H-1B1 Singapore differ from H-1B for Staff Engineer roles?
For Singaporean nationals, H-1B1 visa is almost always the faster path. There's no lottery, no USCIS petition filing, and the annual cap of 5,400 has never been reached. You apply directly at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore after your employer certifies the LCA with DOL. H-1B requires employer sponsorship through USCIS and subjects you to a random lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection rate.
How do I find Staff Engineer employers who will sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas?
Migrate Mate filters Staff Engineer jobs by employers with verified H-1B1 visa LCA filing history, so you're only seeing companies that have actively sponsored Singaporean professionals rather than those that list sponsorship as a possibility. Most job boards don't surface this data, which means you end up in conversations with employers who have never navigated the H-1B1 process.
Can I switch employers on H-1B1 while already working in the United States?
Yes, but the new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL and you'll need a new H-1B1 visa issued at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore unless you qualify for a visa revalidation exception. Your current H-1B1 status ends when your employment ends, so the new LCA must be in place before your last day to avoid a gap in authorization.
What happens if my H-1B1 expires while I'm waiting for renewal paperwork?
H-1B1 visa is issued in one-year increments and does not have an automatic cap-gap extension like some other visa categories. If your renewal is delayed, your work authorization ends with your status. Most employers handling Staff Engineer sponsorship coordinate LCA recertification and embassy appointments two to three months before the expiration date to prevent a gap.
