Located in Scotland’s capital, Fanduel’s new Collaboration Hub in Edinburgh is designed to connect colleagues across the UK.

After recent restrictions to the ways of working, the opening is a UK first for the firm, bringing together project teams across the tech, engineering, product and UX communities as the company seeks to create 250 engineering jobs this year in support of FanDuel’s mobile sportsbook, casino and racing platforms.

The sportstech is enjoying a period of strong growth, punctuated by it’s parent company Flutter recently reported earnings driven by FanDuel’s performance.

This included $750m is revenue in the second quarter which helped the company become the first online operator to record a profit in the US.

FanDuel now has a 51% market share, requiring new investment in talent to support and grow the business within the UK Collaboration Hub.

Located on Freer Street in Edinburgh’s Fountainbridge area, the Collaboration Hub covers three floors designed with ease and flexibility in mind to allow for inclusive working. Additionally, a gaming area, pool table, consoles, rooftop garden, acoustic and wellbeing pods offer multiple breakout areas and the opportunity for staff to recharge.

Mathew Taylor, FanDuel Vice President of Software Engineering, said: “We believe a collaborative approach is the best way to drive results and truly innovate when it comes to product delivery.”

“The official launch of our new Collaboration Hub today signals an exciting new chapter in the FanDuel story that will proactively bring together the best talent from across the country to innovate and excel in this dedicated creative space.
