    How AI is Changing the Way We Work

It's transforming how we enhance customer experiences, streamline operations, and unlock new possibilities.  We sat down with two teammates heavily involved in integrating AI into workflows across our business. Celeste, an AI Product Manager, and Jeff, Vice President of Engineering, unpack how we are scaling innovation with AI and what it means for the future of work. Whether you're technical or not, if you're energized by innovation and driven to constantly be learning, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Apply to our open roles today.

    A New Era of Lottery Innovation

    What started with one dad's daily detour to the bodega became the spark for something bigger. Jackpocket's founder, Pete Sullivan, launched Jackpocket in 2013, digitalizing the lottery experience and creating a highly successful product. Fast-forward more than a decade, and Jackpocket customers can safely and securely order tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions, state lottery draw games, and scratch—off games from their phones. DraftKings acquired Jackpocket in May 2024. This acquisition opened up a new product category for DraftKings within a large and rapidly growing lottery courier vertical. Not only was this a fantastic business opportunity, but we also welcomed many talented new teammates from across the U.S. https://careers.draftkings.com/jobs/

    Create the Playbook On Our Finance Team

    Our finance team is different from your typical firm. As Jeff, Vice President of Internal Audit puts it: "You don't want to just be another number. You want to be part of something great—and growing. That's what I found here from day one." We sat down with Jeff, a seasoned audit leader, to discuss his experience and why DraftKings could be a game-changer for your career. He spent two decades at large financial institutions and came to DraftKings eight months ago to help create the playbook for many different projects.  "We're sort of building as we go through our day-to-day, and that's been great for both me and the team to realize there's not really a dedicated, correct way to do this work yet," Jeff said.
