Fanatics Markets is a real-money prediction and trading platform where users invest in moments they care about—from sports and entertainment to political elections. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will be a key driver of core infrastructure and developer experience, designing durable platform abstractions and partnering with engineering leads to enable rapid innovation without compromising stability or security.
You will own complex features from ideation to production, championing best-in-class platform standards and mentoring mid-level engineers while remaining deeply embedded in the codebase. This role requires balancing hands-on engineering with systems thinking.
Key responsibilities include: implementing team-level standards for AI-augmented development using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot; identifying and mitigating AI-generated code pitfalls such as security vulnerabilities; designing and maintaining highly available cloud-native infrastructure on AWS/Kubernetes; building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling; implementing platform security safeguards and compliance standards; contributing to system observability through monitoring, tracing, and alerting; partnering with product and engineering teams on scalable solutions; and mentoring junior and mid-level engineers while leading incident response.
Required experience: 5+ years in platform engineering, DevOps, or backend engineering with a track record of building scalable cloud-native environments. Strong proficiency with AI collaborators for production code, ability to evaluate AI-generated code for security gaps, hands-on experience with IaC frameworks (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation), high proficiency in Java and Python (Golang a plus), experience building mature CI/CD pipelines and working with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), proven ability to own complex projects in fast-paced environments, and strong communication skills for distributed teams.
