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:  

Our Games team designs, develops, and delivers high-quality digital games enjoyed by players around the world. From concept to launch, we focus on creating engaging, visually rich, and technically robust gaming experiences across multiple platforms. 

Based in our Mostar office, this role offers the opportunity to collaborate closely with experienced engineers, designers, and product leaders, contribute to key technical and creative decisions, and directly impact the evolution of our growing games portfolio. 

If you’re excited by creativity, innovation, and building games that players love, join us and help shape the future of Sportradar Mostar virtual Games. 

 

THE CHALLENGE: 

• Implement domain logic and definitions within the system, and collaborate on product requirements by providing feedback and asking the right questions; 

• Build reliable and scalable solutions, aiming for clean implementations that minimize bugs and reduce the need for support or rework; 

• Continuously learn - whether it’s the business domain, the technologies we currently use, or new tools and approaches we want to explore; 

• Actively suggest improvements to technical solutions or domain implementation at any time, especially during team planning sessions and retrospectives. 

ABOUT YOU: 

• You’re passionate about technology and highly motivated to self-improve. This comes before any experience expectation; 

• 1-2 years of industry experience in software development is desirable. It's not a blocker if there’s none, knowledge has always been more important to us over the years of experience; 

• Experience working with RDBMS. If you haven’t worked with any then we expect knowledge of concepts, pros and cons; 

• Experience or basic knowledge of backend communication patterns (e.g. HTTP, WebSockets, gRPC) and messaging or streaming systems (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis Streams). If you haven’t worked with these technologies directly, we expect understanding of core concepts and trade-offs. 

NICE TO HAVE: 

• Experience working with Javascript/Typescript; 

• We believe in unit testing. So, it would be nice that you are already writing tests with features which you’re developing; 

• Experience with software containers and container orchestration platforms. This is especially the case for Docker and Kubernetes; 

• Experience with build, deployment and development tools. 

OUR OFFER:  

• A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world (Engineering offices in Europe, Asia and the US) including various social events and teambuilding. 

• Flexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy. 

• A balance of structure and autonomy to tackle your daily tasks. 

• Vibrant and inclusive community which welcomes all participants. 

• Global Employee Assistance Program. 

• Calm and Reulay app (leading well-being apps designed to support focus, quality rest, mindfulness, and long-term mental resilience). 

• Online training videos. 

• Flexible working hours. 

• While we appreciate the flexibility and benefits of working from home, we strongly believe that coming together in person fosters stronger connections, encourages collaboration, and drives innovation - both as individuals and as a company. The energy, shared ideas, and team support we experience in the office strengthens the foundation of our success and culture. For this reason, we are an office-first business operating on a hybrid model, with team members working in the office three days a week to build relationships, exchange ideas, and grow together. 

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS:  

• Initial Screening: A quick online chat with our Talent Acquisition Partner to understand your background and expectations. 

• Interview: Organized online or on-site with the purpose of meeting the hiring manager, assessing team fit and learning more about the role. 

• Technical Assessment: Take @ home task to showcase your technical skills. 

• Technical Interview: Organized online or on-site to meet with the Hiring Manager and/or additional Interviewer to dive into your solution. 

• Final Steps: Receive feedback and, if successful, offer!
