Full Job Description
We9re seeking a Staff Security Security Engineer to join our growing security team focused on ensuring our use of emerging technology at DraftKings is done safely and securely, relying on deep technical expertise and knowledge to assess how to safely connect and deploy new workflows, processes, and technologies. To do this you will work strategically, influencing the company9s overall security posture, architecture, and roadmap in a variety of domains. You9ll work with product, engineering and research teams to build and deploy tooling that will help the business connect different services and data together. You9ll explain your work to a broad audience spanning from individual contributors in a variety of departments to senior leadership. The team you9re joining is cross-disciplinary, driven, supportive, and global. Each member brings unique, respected perspectives whether they just joined or were founding team members. What you9ll do as a Staff Security Engineer b7 Set the security standards and guardrails for the AI platform. Define the principles, reference architectures, and policy-as-code that all AI tooling at DraftKings adheres to, so that many teams can build agents and workflows while still meeting a consistent security bar. Focus on specifying the environment, infrastructure, and authentication methods agents rely on, rather than reviewing every individual implementation. b7 Review and build the architecture of AI gateways and tooling. Provide security review, sign-off, and possibly pair on implementation of these systems, and the systems that they interface with. b7 Make the security review process scale. Streamline how AI services move through InfoSec review on their way to production, so the bar stays high but does not become the bottleneck. b7 Reduce AI-driven security noise. Partner with platform and detection teams on telemetry (tool-call metrics, auditing agents over that data) and on lightweight controls like standardized system prompts that cut unnecessary investigations without slowing engineers down. b7 Drive remediation efforts of complex, cross-functional security issues. When relevant, you9ll be called into investigations to assist. b7 Coach and raise the bar. Mentor security and platform engineers, lead technical and SME discussions on AI security, and elevate the team9s overall capability in this space. What you9ll bring b7 7+ years experience in engineering - building and operating systems in production. b7 5+ years experience contributing and advising on security design. b7 Broad security fluency across infrastructure and enterprise security - endpoint protection, network security, identity, SaaS tools, and cloud security - even if your deepest expertise is in application and product security. b7 Deep hands-on ability to debug systems issues. We9re comfortable hacking on things to solve security problems, so long as we can unlock functionality and make it usable for the organization. b7 Experience writing high quality code in a typed and untyped programming language. b7 Excellent collaboration and communication skills - you can align engineering, platform, privacy, legal, and leadership stakeholders, and you bias toward enabling teams rather than blocking them. b7 Ability to manage competing priorities and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Join Our Team We9re a publicly traded (NASDAQ: DKNG) technology company headquartered in Boston. As a regulated gaming company, you may be required to obtain a gaming license issued by the appropriate state agency as a condition of employment. Don9t worry, we9ll guide you through the process if this is relevant to your role. The US base salary range for this full-time position is 160,700.00 USD - 200,900.00 USD, plus bonus, equity, and benefits as applicable. Our ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The compensation information displayed on each job posting reflects the range for new hire pay rates for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range and how that was determined during the hiring process.

In November 2016, FanDuel and DraftKings, the two largest companies in the daily fantasy sports industry, reached an agreement to merge. However the merger was terminated in July 2017 due to it being blocked by the Federal Trade Commission as the combined company would have controlled a 90 percent of the market for daily fantasy sports.
