Job Description

ABOUT US

Come work for one of the fastest-growing sports tech and iGaming companies in the world. Our NASDAQ-listed organization is aligned around shared passions for sports and technology, supporting thousands of partners with data and content worldwide.

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to act as a technical catalyst within our iGaming division. This is a high-impact leadership role: you won’t just write code; you will define the engineering culture and architectural vision for our sports-based casino games. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of high-frequency sports data and engaging, real-time gaming experiences. You will partner with leadership to translate product strategy into robust, scalable technical roadmaps while empowering our developers to work smarter and faster through modern engineering methodologies, including AI-driven development.

THE CHALLENGE:

  • Architectural Vision: Lead the design and evolution of highly resilient, low-latency, and distributed architectures that power our iGaming products, ensuring they handle massive concurrency and real-time video and sports data streams.
  • AI-Augmented Engineering: Champion the adoption of AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Cody within the development lifecycle. Define standards for AI-assisted code generation, automated documentation, test-case generation, and legacy code refactoring to improve team velocity and code quality.
  • Engineering Excellence: Set the bar for best practices. Guide teams in test-driven development, security-first design, and clean-code principles.
  • Cross-Team Enablement: Work across the organization to break down silos and act as a bridge between front-end, back-end, and infrastructure teams.
  • Hands-On Technical Leadership: Stay close to the code, dive into critical path issues, participate in complex problem-solving, and lead by example in difficult refactoring or high-stakes feature implementations.
  • Mentorship & Growth: Mentor Staff and Senior Engineers, cultivating a culture of continuous learning.

ABOUT YOU:

  • Experience: 10+ years of software development experience, with a proven track record in the iGaming, betting, or high-concurrency real-time gaming sectors.
  • Tech Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Java/JVM ecosystems and modern front-end frameworks such as React and TypeScript.
  • AI Fluency: Deep experience leveraging AI coding assistants to improve development workflows and integrate them into a secure, enterprise-grade engineering process.
  • System Design: Proven ability to architect complex, distributed systems in the cloud. Deep expertise in AWS, including ECS, EKS, RDS and S3.
  • Influence: Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction across multiple squads.
  • Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical constraints into business risks and opportunities for non-technical leadership.

PREFERRED SKILLS:

  • Expertise in low-latency game engine architecture, mobile or browser-based.
  • Experience building and scaling real-time video streaming solutions.
  • Knowledge of global iGaming regulatory requirements and compliance standards.
  • Strong understanding of DevOps as a culture, not just a toolset.

OUR OFFER:

  • A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world, including various social events and teambuilding.
  • Flexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy.
  • A balance of structure and autonomy to tackle daily tasks.
  • Vibrant and inclusive community.
  • Global Employee Assistance Program.
  • Calm and Reulay app well-being support.
  • Online training videos.
  • Flexible working hours.

The minimum monthly salary for this position is according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, with overpayment depending on qualifications and working experience.

While Sportradar appreciates the flexibility and benefits of working from home, the company is an office-first business operating on a hybrid model, with team members working in the office four days a week.

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS:

  • Initial Screening: A quick online chat with the Talent Acquisition Partner.
  • Technical Assessment: Take-home task to showcase technical skills.
  • Technical Interview: Meet with the Hiring Manager and/or additional interviewer.
  • Final Interview: Meet the team, assess team fit, and discuss background, experience and motivation.
  • Final Steps: Receive feedback and, if successful, an offer.
