Job Description

OVERVIEW:    

Sportradar is a sports technology company and the global leader in understanding and leveraging the power of sports data to reimagine fans' sports experience.  

Our Sports Media team is seeking a passionate Software Development Intern who loves to solve problems and is eager to learn leading edge software development technologies and best practices and to get their first experience working on a professional software development team.   

What does the Sports Media team work on?  

We build platforms and products that collect, curate, distribute, analyze, and personalize sports data and content.  

We have exclusive data rights with top leagues like MLB, NBA, NHL, and NASCAR where we own the rights to data coming from the stadium (even player tracking and optical tracking data). For leagues and sports like the NFL, NCAA Basketball, NCAA Football, Golf, and others, we build custom tooling used by our scouting network. We pride ourselves on delivering the fastest and most accurate live game data on the market, and the systems our team builds make that possible.  

Through our Sports APIs, we empower developers from thousands of customers like Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, The Score, Bleacher Report, and many more, to create their own products powered by our data.  

With our Analytics Products and Broadcast Solutions, we empower storytellers from Fox Sports, Bally Sports, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, and others, to create storylines around the action and to create the broadcast seem by millions of fans on TV. For example, if you watch the World Series, Super Bowl or just your team playing on TV and wonder how the announcers know all those stats and storylines, and how they power all those graphic overlays, well, that is our doing.  

What you will do as a Software Development Intern:  

• Build, test, and deploy cloud-native solutions used by our Enterprise customers, supporting billions of calls per month with hundreds of millions of TV viewers.
