Each day, you’ll collaborate with backend developers, infrastructure specialists, and product teams to safeguard our production environments. You’ll be hands-on: diving deep into distributed systems, debugging complex core codebase issues, optimizing database queries, and managing live data streaming pipelines.
You will work to build preventative monitoring and proactive automation.

- Are collaborative and communicative, bridging the gap between technical teams and business stakeholders seamlessly.
- Thrive in high-stakes environments where real-time streaming and high data ingestion demand sharp, decisive action.
- Take pride in writing clean automation scripts, runbooks, and preventative tooling.
- Are eager to mentor others and elevate the operational maturity of the entire team.
Tech Stack and Skill Requirements
You don’t need to tick every box, but here’s what we’re looking for:
- Experience: Proven track record operating and troubleshooting distributed systems at scale.
- Infrastructure & Cloud: Strong experience with AWS (ECS, CDK, Lambda, Cognito, CloudFront) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows.
- Real-time Data: Practical experience handling streaming architectures like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
- Programming & DBs: Proficiency in object-oriented programming (e.g., C# .NET) to debug codebases, paired with strong SQL and database optimization skills.
- Observability: Hands-on experience with monitoring frameworks like Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, or Datadog.
- CI/CD & Automation: Good understanding of modern CI/CD pipelines and scripting for automated integration testing.
- Bonus: Direct experience working in real-time sports technology or media streaming architectures.
Why Level Up Your Career at Beyond Sports:
- Fast-paced. High-impact. Zero boredom. We move quickly, ship often, and build backend systems that handle massive live sports data.
