The platform has supported some of the world's largest and most complex productions, including Olympic Games, international multi-sport events, World Championships and other globally significant events.

As part of a small, highly skilled engineering team, you'll help build and evolve the cloud services, applications and integrations that power these events behind the scenes.

This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, building modern cloud-native systems and taking ownership of software that is used in real-world environments.
