Success in this role requires building strong, collaborative relationships with Product, Data, Risk, Legal, and Compliance partners to align on strategy, priorities, and outcomes that protect both our customers and our business. The Sr. SEM plays a pivotal role in shaping the architecture, processes, and engineering culture that ensure trust, safety, and compliance across the Fanatics Sportsbook ecosystem. You will lead backend engineering teams (Java, AWS) responsible for the systems that gate customer access to the platform — from real-time geolocation checks to responsible gaming limit enforcement and regulatory exclusion list ingestion. At FBG, we're revolutionizing sports betting with cutting-edge technology, a customer-first mindset, and a world-class engineering team. Responsibilities - Lead engineering teams that own high-scale, high-stakes compliance systems across geolocation, state & self exclusion, responsible gaming, NJ data residency, and prohibited persons. - Drive operational excellence by setting high standards for security, reliability, and regulatory compliance. - Establish strong monitoring and alerting mechanisms to detect, prevent, and mitigate fraudulent activity and compliance violations. - Partner with Risk, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure regulatory requirements, responsible gaming standards, and state-level gaming compliance obligations are met. - Own systems that enforce compliance gaming controls — including wager limits, session controls, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion enforcement, and problem gambling intervention workflows. - Oversee geolocation and location services infrastructure that verifies customer location at the point of wagering. - Lead the engineering strategy for user sync processes — ensuring customer account data, eligibility status, self-exclusion flags, and compliance attributes remain consistent and up-to-date. - Maintain and evolve systems that enforce prohibited persons policies — including detection, blocking, and auditing of individuals who are legally or contractually barred from participation. - Proactively identify and resolve technical or operational risks before they impact customers or business integrity. - Build and maintain high-performing, mission-driven engineering teams focused on trust, safety, compliance, and performance. - Define and execute a roadmap balancing customer experience, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and player protection. - Empower teams to solve complex challenges in real-time eligibility enforcement, data replication, and responsible gaming tooling. - Deliver robust, maintainable, and scalable software systems that protect customer data and ensure seamless, compliant account experiences. - Communicate clearly and effectively with engineers, Product, Data Science, Legal, and Compliance stakeholders. - Build deep partnerships with Fraud, Risk, Responsible Gaming, and Compliance Gaming product teams to align on goals and trade-offs. - Drive crisp technical and strategic discussions across teams and leadership. - Author and present clear documentation — including engineering roadmaps, vision documents, compliance risk assessments, and incident reviews. - Represent the CAT domain's technical perspective in broader organizational strategy and planning. - Lead teams through highly ambiguous security, risk, compliance gaming, and geolocation challenges with structured, data-informed approaches. - Foster a culture of accountability and innovation — balancing experimentation with rigorous controls. - Provide clarity and vision amid changing regulatory and threat landscapes. Qualifications - 5-7+ years of experience managing software engineering teams, with a track record of delivering secure, scalable systems in high-risk or regulated environments. - Background leading teams or contributing in a Java, AWS ecosystem preferred. - Demonstrated experience building systems for fraud detection, payments, compliance, or responsible gaming is highly desirable. - Experience with geolocation and location services technologies used in regulated online gaming or financial services contexts is a strong plus. - Familiarity with compliance gaming controls — including self-exclusion systems, wager/session limit enforcement, exclusion registry integrations, and responsible gaming tooling. - Experience designing or managing user sync and data consistency pipelines across distributed systems and third-party platforms. - Exposure to prohibited persons enforcement frameworks, including integrations with state or national exclusion registries. - Strong communication and storytelling skills to influence across Engineering, Product, Risk, Legal, and Compliance. - Proven experience navigating complex, cross-functional, and regulatory challenges. - Commitment to operational excellence and building resilient, high-trust systems. - Passion for mentoring and developing engineers and leaders, while fostering a culture of security, empathy, and innovation. Benefits - Remote employees may also be eligible for a home office setup stipend. - Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components. - Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. - Open to fully remote candidates based in the United Kingdom.

Role Description We're looking for an experienced engineering leader to take ownership of Biorelate's engineering function. You'll have six direct reports, the leads of Platform Engineering (including Security), Data Engineering, and Full-Stack Engineering, with around 13 engineers across the function in total. You'll report to the VP of Technology. Most of your time will go into making the engineering organisation work well: - Clear ownership - Effective processes - Engineers who are growing - Projects that land on time You'll still stay close enough to the technical work to make good calls (architecture reviews, knotty production incidents, the occasional spike to de-risk a new direction), but your primary contribution is organisational. You'll be helping us execute against Biorelate's mission: accelerating drug discovery by building the world's largest and most accurate biomedical knowledge graph, and getting that data to the places where it has the most impact. What you'll own - The engineering function. - Technical leadership across three disciplines. - People development. - Engineering practice. - Delivery. Qualifications - 10+ years of engineering experience, with a meaningful chunk in data-heavy systems: pipelines, ML platforms, large-scale ETL, knowledge graphs, search, or analytics. - Significant time leading engineering teams or functions. - Experience in both startup and mature-company environments. - Credible across multiple engineering disciplines. - High tolerance for ambiguity. - Strong communication, written and verbal. - Curiosity about the domain and the customer. - Opinions about what good looks like. Requirements - You've run engineering organisations before, as a Head of Engineering, senior EM ready to step up, or equivalent. - You've felt the difference between "we need to ship this by Friday" and "we need a proper RFC process." - You've been somewhere long enough to see the consequences of your own decisions. - Depth in one of platform/infrastructure, data engineering, or application engineering. - Comfortable operating without perfect structure and helping to build it where it's missing. - Your instinct is to write things down, you're comfortable drafting a one-pager to explain a complex concept. - You should want to understand what our customers do with what we build. - You can articulate what distinguishes a well-run engineering organisation from a mediocre one. What we do Research and Development in the pharmaceutical industry is time-consuming, expensive, and often overlooks valuable data insights. We're changing that with AI-powered data science solutions that uncover hidden insights to support more efficient and informed drug discovery. Using AI-based Natural Language Processing, our technology extracts and structures data from millions of scientific documents, identifying causal biological relationships and organising them into knowledge graphs. This empowers bioinformaticians and biologists with a deeper understanding of the connections between diseases, proteins, and drugs. Our team consists of biomedical and data science experts with real-world lab and pharmaceutical experience. These specialists ensure that our solutions are scientifically grounded, delivering accurate, reliable data to our customers.
