Job Description
About our unit
The Production Engineering Unit has seven software development teams across Trondheim and Warsaw. Our mission is to build strong technical foundations for Sportradar’s marketplace strategy. We make engineering more effective and create flexible solutions so teams can deliver faster and run systems reliably.
Our focus is on practical improvements and learning. Recent examples include AWS certification study groups, Terraform workshops, and experiments with AI to explore new ideas. Engineers are encouraged to take ownership and build solutions that scale.
Teamwork and communication are core values. Through gatherings, newsletters, and close collaboration between product and engineering leaders, we make sure everyone stays connected and informed. Our goal is better delivery and better operations.

Guide suppliers through onboarding and validate end-to-end functionality.
Set and enforce standards for API reliability, schema stability, and error handling, contributing to SLAs and operational best practices.
Validate and test data feeds before and after launch for accuracy and completeness.
Monitor production performance, troubleshoot issues, and lead remediation efforts when problems arise.
Influence integration architecture, patterns, and best practices.
Identify opportunities to automate onboarding, testing, and monitoring.
Provide technical insights that shape supplier prioritisation and product roadmaps.
