Staff Java Software Engineer @ Sportradar

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.

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
