We’re the world’s leading sports technology company, at the intersection between sports, media, and betting. More than 1,700 sports federations, media outlets, betting operators, and consumer platforms across 120 countries rely on our know-how and technology to boost their business. ABOUT US: 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. Working closely with rights holders, media organizations, and betting partners, our teams build and maintain highly scalable systems that support the collection, processing, analysis, and distribution of sports data and odds across more than 30 sports disciplines, including e-sports. The development teams based in Warsaw contribute to multiple products and initiatives across these domains, building distributed systems that operate at global scale, process millions of events daily, and deliver mission-critical services that are available 24/7. 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. Key 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 thr
