Powering Our Sportsbook Product

When we asked Agop Dogramadzhiyan, Director of Engineering, what his favorite problem to solve was, he gave us an answer that encapsulates who we are at DraftKings. 

“The unsolved one.”

We’re building the future in the sports and entertainment industry. In this episode of the DraftKings Life Podcast, we are diving into the technology behind our Sportsbook product. Agop works on our SportsCore system that powers one of our most popular products. His team in Bulgaria works with team members across the globe. 

He describes the SportsCore team as the primary engine that drives the processing of sports content. His team is responsible for transforming the raw sports data into a rich set of odds and events that engage our customers. The work they are doing is reshaping our growing industry. 

Many think you need to like sports to work at DraftKings, yet Agop says he’s not really a sports fan. Instead, he loves the complex challenges that our products produce and being able to work with our modern tech stack.

Whether you’re a fan of coding algorithms, cheering for your favorite team, tackling complex infrastructure, or want to solve big-scale problems, Agop says DraftKings brings all these worlds together, “It’s literally a place where everyone can find something they are passionate about.”
