About the project

The Live Data unit is responsible for the development, delivery, and global distribution of real-time sports data across a diverse range of sporting events. Through strong partnerships with rights holders, media organizations, and betting companies worldwide, the unit ensures the seamless provision of accurate, high-quality data across 30+ different sports disciplines, including e-sports.

Our international team develops and maintains a range of advanced platforms to integrate, manage, and analyse data from multiple sources.

The development team based in Wrocław focuses on:

In-Game Pipeline – a system for collecting source data, either manually captured by scouts during events or generated through AI-driven computer vision technology.

Prediction Markets – a system focus on reducing any latency and providing the ultra fast feed crafted for the client needs.

THE CHALLENGE:

This is a role for a technical leader who wants to shape the direction of an engineering organization, not just contribute to it. You will define architecture, drive strategy across multiple teams, and have the kind of influence that makes the whole platform better - not just your corner of it. At Sportradar the problems are real, the scale is global, and the pace is fast. This is not a role for someone who wants to be told what to build.

ABOUT YOU:

You are a recognized technical leader with a track record that speaks for itself. You have solved organization-scale problems before, you know how to bring people with you, and you understand that the best technical decisions are also good business decisions. You do not need a title to have influence - you have it because of how you think and how you operate.

This is how we organize our work

This is how we work

• you have influence on the technological solutions applied
• you focus on product development
• you focus on code maintenance

Team members

• backend developer
• technical leader

Your responsibilities

• Define and drive technical architecture and engineering strategy across multiple teams and product areas
• Lead the design of scalable, high-performance distributed systems that process millions of real-time events daily
• Own complex cross-functional initiatives with significant business impact, from first principles through to production
• Set engineering standards, architecture principles, and the long-term technical roadmap for your area
• Mentor Senior Engineers and act as the technical anchor for teams working through ambiguous, high-stakes problems
• Influence engineering, product, and leadership stakeholders - and translate technical strategy into business outcomes they care about
• Bring deep expertise in AWS, cloud-native platforms, Kubernetes, and event-driven architectures to decisions that matter at org level
• Lead platform modernization, technical transformation, and large-scale migration initiatives where needed

Our requirements

• You have 8+ years of professional software development experience with extensive Java expertise and a strong track record in large-scale distributed systems
• You can lead architecture and technical strategy across multiple teams or products and driven initiatives with real business impact
• You have deep expertise in AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and modern platform engineering - not just familiarity with the tools, but judgment about when and how to use them
• You have mentored Senior Engineers and shaped engineering culture without needing direct management authority
• You communicate with clarity at every level - from a technical deep dive with engineers to a strategic conversation with leadership
• You can define engineering standards and long-term roadmaps that teams actually use
• Experience in real-time, high-availability systems or mission-critical environments at global scale is a strong advantage
• A background in sports technology, betting, fintech, or other highly transactional environments is a plus - but the ability to learn a domain fast matter more

What we offer

• A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world (Engineering offices in Europe, Asia and US)
• Ability to shape your own workday and career via a clearly defined professional and personal development plan
• Opportunity to work with senior leadership team and develop yourself within an inspiring and fast-growing company
• Vibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants
• Flexible working hours

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS:

1. Initial Screening: A brief conversation with our Talent Acquisition Partner to review your background, experience, and expectations.

2. Technical Assessment: A take-home coding assignment designed to reflect our daily work, completed at your convenience.

3. Technical Interview: An in-depth discussion on your submitted coding task, including a review of your thought process, live coding exercises, and a system design discussion tailored to the level of the role.

4. Cultural Fit Interview - A conversation with Senior Management to assess your ability to work in a matrix organization and collaborate effectively with stakeholders across the business.

5. Final Steps: Receive feedback and, if successful, an offer!

We believe great products are built by great teams working closely together.

We see working together onsite as a key driver of innovation, learning, and success.
