Located in the heart of Bulgaria, our offices are centered around collaboration and connection. This unique environment fosters not just professional growth but personal relationships as well. Stamena Manova from our Employee Experience Team, offers a glimpse into how the culture shapes the everyday experiences for our team members.
For Stamena, it's about crafting a workspace where individuals can grow and thrive. From the annual team building to the Christmas celebration, DraftKings crafts events that are more than just gatherings—they are opportunities for people to create genuine friendships and engage in meaningful conversations.
A flexible work environment proves to be the best for our teammates. We work in a hybrid model with people working from home and on-site in Sofia and Plovdiv. Over 50% of employees, according to a recent survey, choose to come to the office driven by the desire to interact with their teams and leaders directly.
DraftKings is more than a workplace; it's a community. A community that thrives on empathy, resilience, and the drive to achieve results. Here, we're defining an ideal workplace centered around collaboration, connection, and celebration.

Growing in your career can look differently for everyone. One may take on the challenge of managing others, helping to mentor and foster a culture of learning, while others may rise to the challenge of being an individual contributor taking on more responsibilities.
We like to ask our teammates, how can you maximize the impact you can make?

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.”
Want to learn more about our technology? Agop recommends checking out our Engineering Blog, written by various tech professionals across DraftKings.
