Join Our Team as a Technical Delivery Lead – Backend at Beyond Sports
Are you excited about backend architecture, technical leadership, and building the systems behind the future of sports entertainment?
At Beyond Sports, we don’t just visualize sports, we reinvent how fans experience them. Together with partners like NFL, NHL, FIFA, and Disney, we push the boundaries of real-time sports data, 3D graphics, and AI-driven storytelling.
If you’re passionate about leading backend teams, designing scalable systems, and staying hands-on while driving technical delivery, this could be your next move.
What Your Day Will Look Like
As a Technical Delivery Lead – Backend, you’ll sit at the center of engineering execution, system architecture, and team leadership.
Your role combines leadership with hands-on backend development. You’ll guide engineers working on scalable, high-performance systems while contributing directly to architecture, complex technical challenges, and critical delivery moments.
You’ll work closely with Tech Leads, Frontend teams, Data teams, Product, and other stakeholders to build backend services that power real-time sports experiences.
One day you might be reviewing architectural decisions around distributed systems and messaging flows. The next, you could be improving system performance, designing new APIs, or stepping into the codebase to unblock delivery.
You’ll work with technologies like .NET/C#, messaging systems such as RabbitMQ and Azure PubSub, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS — always with a focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
Because leadership starts with technical credibility, you’ll stay hands-on at your core. A significant part of your time will involve active engineering: solving complex issues, improving system design, and supporting delivery where it matters most.
Alongside this, you’ll help shape engineering standards, backend architecture, and delivery processes across the team.
