Senior Java Software Engineer

The Sports Data & Odds Engineering organization is responsible for developing, delivering, and operating a broad portfolio of products that power Sportradar's global sports data and betting ecosystem - processing millions of real-time events every day for media companies, sports federations, betting operators, and consumer apps across 120 countries. This is a role for an engineer who wants to own things - not just deliver them. You will take complex technical initiatives from design through to production, work across a high-performing distributed team, and have real influence over the architecture and practices of a platform used by millions of people every day. The problems here are not manufactured. They are the kind that come from operating at genuine scale in a real-time, mission-critical environment.
