FanDuel teams up with the Scotland-based xDesign
Both companies have committed to add 400 new positions by the end of 2022.
Scottish software developer xDesign has partnered with the FanDuel Group. The collaboration will bring with it at least 400 new jobs to the UK by the end of the year.
Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, FanDuel has committed to create 250 positions, while xDesign will create close to 150 new jobs. Together, they plan to invest more than $312,000 per year in recruitment efforts.
The additional staff will have the option to work in FanDuel’s Edinburgh, Glasgow and Atlanta offices.
xDesign Chief Executive Euan Andrews said: “Investing in people and creating a platform for future tech talent is a must to tackle the ever-widening tech skills gap. While job creation and growth form a huge part of this partnership, engagement and support for those at the early stages of their career in technology is vital.
“Extending our relationship with an organization as successful as FanDuel will significantly contribute to identifying and cultivating the next generation of talent in the UK which both companies are fanatical about.”
xDesign is based in Edinburgh. For the past 18 months, the company has worked with FanDuel to provide product and engineering support.
FanDuel Group Chief Operating Officer Andy Giancamilli commented: “The boom of the UK and Scottish tech sector is undeniable, and we believe this partnership with xDesign provides fantastic support and supplements the work our FanDuel world-class engineering teams do.”
FanDuel, currently owned by sports betting and gaming company Flutter Entertainment, is the market leading online wagering platform in the country. It was originally founded Edinburgh.
