## Description

We’re the world’s leading sports technology company, at the intersection between sports, media, and betting.

As Staff Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you work like an internal consultant: you are placed in other departments and business units, talk with the business, find the real problems, cut through complexity, simplify processes and then build the AI solution.

Responsibilities:

- Meet with department leads and teams to understand how work is done today, identify problems and frame them clearly.

- Break down unclear, cluttered situations into defined problems, scope, success criteria and a delivery plan.

- Streamline and simplify business processes, and decide where AI helps and where it does not.

- Navigate stakeholders, approvals and competing priorities pragmatically to keep work moving.

- Own technical strategy and architecture for your internal engagements.

- Design and deliver production agentic and LLM systems, including retrieval (RAG), tool use, context and prompt design, guardrails and observability.

- Define and run evaluations (test sets, regression suites, monitoring) that guide design and model choices.

- Mentor colleagues, review designs and share reusable patterns.

Requirements:

- Typically 8+ years of software engineering experience, including senior work with business stakeholders.

- Strong communication with business and technical audiences, including senior stakeholders.

- Self-motivated and able to work independently with little supervision on ambiguous work.

- Ability to navigate organisational complexity and competing priorities to get things done.

- Strong problem-finding and analytical skills; experience simplifying complex processes or systems.

- Experience building and operating production systems; strong system design.

- Hands-on experience with LLMs and agents (prompting, tool use, RAG, evaluation).

- Strong Python; experience with data pipelines and a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP).

Nice to have:

- Consulting or internal-consulting experience.

Working model: Based in Warsaw. Some travel between Sportradar offices may be required; the extent will be confirmed by the hiring team.

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.

- Ability to shape your own workday and career via a clearly defined professional and personal development plan.

- Opportunity to develop yourself within an inspiring and fast-growing company with our Career framework possibilities.

- Vibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants.

- Online training videos.

- Flexible working hours.
