[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @ScorePlay

Role Description

ScorePlay is the platform major sports organizations use to manage, search and share their media, from the second it's captured to the moment it reaches everyone's screen. A photographer uploads thousands of shots after the final whistle. A live feed has to be logged and clipped into highlights while the game is still being played. The right assets have to reach 10,000+ athletes, partners and newsrooms worldwide, automatically, not one file at a time.

Underneath that sits:

• 15+ petabytes of media
• 145M+ minutes of video ingested every month
• A multi-region distributed architecture
• Event-driven pipelines that have to hold up on match day

Much of the infrastructure needed at that scale simply hasn't been built before. All of it runs on infrastructure built and operated by our Platform team, which today is one person. You'll be the second.

You'll work hand in hand with Maxime, our founding SRE, who built this platform from nothing and is looking for a peer, not a report. You'll split the roadmap based on your strengths and preferences, report directly to our Head of Engineering, and own topics end to end: scoping, choosing the technical approach, and shipping to production. Much of the platform exists. A lot of what comes next is still to be designed.

Qualifications

• A tech militant who drives projects autonomously
• Deep AWS expertise and strong Terraform skills
• Solid production experience running Kubernetes
• Experience designing distributed systems
• Builder profile with a focus on post-deployment outcomes
• Roughly 6+ years in SRE, Platform or Infrastructure roles
• Bonus: Experience in media, video or storage infrastructure

Requirements

• Design, build and operate AWS infrastructure across multiple regions
• Own high-availability architectures, object storage at 15PB+ scale, and event streaming (Kafka)
• Drive cost optimization across the stack
• Build the internal platform for product engineers
• Set standards for infrastructure definition and changes
• Maintain security and compliance for major sports organizations

Benefits

• Remote-first setup with regular team gatherings
• Shared on-call responsibilities with written postmortems for incidents
• Opportunity to design systems that impact major sports organizations
• Work with an international team of 15+ nationalities
