Our roster has an opening with your name on it

We are hiring a Principal AI Solutions Architect to serve as the senior-most technical executor and systems thinker across Fan Duel’s AI organization.This role is for a builder with imagination, who can take AI from ideation to deployment rapidly while teaching others how to drive technical excellence.

This is not a pure architecture or advisory role. You will operate as a hands-on technical leader, partnering across platform, forward deployed teams, and product engineering to design, build, and scale complex AI systems.

You will be responsible for connecting the dots across the organization, ensuring that:

• Forward deployed solutions evolve into reusable platform capabilities
• Platform investments accelerate real-world use cases

You will step into the most critical, ambiguous, and high-leverage full-stack problems, bringing clarity, velocity, and technical leadership.

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.

Ensure everything platform, forward deployed solution, and production capability fits together into a coherent, scalable architecture

Lead through building:

Remove technical friction and enable others to deliver faster and more effectively

Make smart trade-offs:

Guide decisions across performance, cost, reliability, and time-to-market

Raise the technical bar:

Mentor senior engineers and shape how we build across the organization
