JavaScript/TypeScript Developer

The Backbone unit focuses on engineering shared technical platforms that underpin all of Sportradar’s products and services. We build a diverse range of technical products with a focus on collecting, storing and distributing the data points that empower the business to operate at the scale and agility needed to deliver Sportradar’s market-leading offerings.

Our products handle millions of data points per day, covering everything from which sports are played and where, to the realtime odds changes for a given match. Data we process then gets distribured both internally within the organisation and externally to end-users.

Our services are engineered to meet challenging requirements; they must be highly available and scalable and deliver data that can be trusted to be both accurate and low latency.

You will join distributed team responsible for extracting and transforming sports data at scale from variety of sources.

At the same time, we strive to nurture a culture where we have fun and socialize with our colleagues.

The challenge

The way in which we produce and consume data is changing, and our products need to change with it.
