The Crown Is Yours
As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you'll design, build, and operate the infrastructure that powers every DraftKings product.

Your work won't just support scale-it will define how we achieve it.
What You'll Do
  • Design and maintain cloud and on-prem infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform and Chef.
  • Build observability into everything-driving monitoring, alerting, and logging strategies that support application SLOs and overall system reliability.
  • Develop deployment platforms and internal tooling that empower teams to move fast while maintaining governance and operational excellence.
  • Define and standardize infrastructure patterns, deployment strategies, and configuration best practices across a high-growth engineering org.
  • Lead by example-mentor junior engineers, shape infrastructure standards, and influence cross-functional technical decisions.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation and lead incident response, including root cause analysis and long-term remediation strategies.
  • Partner with security, networking, and application teams to ensure reliability across the full stack-from code to customer.

What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years of experience designing, building, and operating production infrastructure across cloud and on-prem environments.
  • Expertise in Infrastructure as Code and configuration management using tools like Terraform and Chef.
  • Strong coding skills in Python, Go, Ruby, or similar, with experience supporting applications in object-oriented languages.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, containerization, and Kubernetes operations (e.g., EKS, Rancher).
  • Solid grasp of networking and web technologies, including DNS, CDN, and packet-level debugging.
  • Familiarity with messaging and streaming platforms such as Kafka and RabbitMQ.
  • A collaborative, action-oriented mindset with a passion for scalability, reliability, and continuous improvement.
