The posting

At DraftKings, AI is becoming an integral part of both our present and future, powering how work gets done today, guiding smarter decisions, and sparking bold ideas. It’s transforming how we enhance customer experiences, streamline operations, and unlock new possibilities. Our teams are energized by innovation and readily embrace emerging technology. We’re not waiting for the future to arrive. We’re shaping it, one bold step at a time. To those who see AI as a driver of progress, come build the future together.

The Crown Is Yours

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll shape the technical direction of the Machine Learning Platform that powers data science, analytics, and machine learning capabilities across DraftKings. You’ll lead the architecture and evolution of critical infrastructure, from real-time data pipelines and data governance to scalable machine learning services. Working across Engineering and Data Science teams, you’ll establish technical standards, drive complex initiatives, and build reliable, efficient systems that support our growing business. Your impact will extend beyond the platform as you mentor engineers, advance automation, and influence how we build and operate machine learning infrastructure at scale.

What you’ll do as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer

  • Define the technical architecture and roadmap for our Machine Learning Platform, including real-time data ingestion, lakehouse governance, and machine learning serving infrastructure.
  • Design and scale distributed data systems using technologies such as Kafka, Spark Structured Streaming, and Databricks, with a focus on reliability, automation, and self-service capabilities.
  • Establish engineering standards and architectural best practices, driving adoption across teams to improve platform consistency, scalability, and performance.
  • Lead complex engineering initiatives by defining technical specifications, establishing milestones, and guiding implementation through design and code reviews.
  • Partner with Data Engineering, Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Architecture teams to advance data sharing, platform connectivity, and enterprise data infrastructure.
  • Own the reliability and operational performance of critical platform services, including monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive cloud cost efficiency through resource optimization, cost monitoring, and scalable compute management frameworks.
  • Champion AI-assisted engineering practices, develop intelligent automation tools, and mentor engineers to strengthen technical expertise and expand platform ownership.

What you’ll bring

  • At least 8 years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, or machine learning infrastructure, including experience leading complex technical initiatives.
  • Deep expertise in distributed data systems and streaming technologies, including Kafka, Spark or comparable frameworks, schema management, and open table formats such as Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake.
  • Strong experience with Databricks or similar lakehouse platforms, including data governance, access management, and scalable data architecture.
  • Proficiency with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Terraform, infrastructure as code, and cloud networking and identity management.
  • Proven ability to define technical architecture, establish engineering standards, and influence decisions across multiple engineering and data teams.
  • Experience managing production infrastructure, including monitoring, on-call support, incident response, and operational reliability.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools and the ability to apply emerging technologies to improve engineering efficiency and automate workflows.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and mentorship skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable plans and guide engineers at different experience levels. Experience with Snowflake, machine learning serving infrastructure, cloud cost optimization, or AI-powered developer tooling is a plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
