Sports Tech Backend Engineering Manager

ScorePlay Inc.; Paris; Hybride; EUR 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

ScorePlay Inc. is building AI-powered media infrastructure for sports, with teams in Paris and New York. We’re seeking a hands-on engineering leader to mentor 4–6 engineers, drive delivery and shape best practices across product, design and customers.

As a Tech Lead / EM, you’ll own the delivery rhythm, translate product goals into technical plans, review architecture, unblock work, and foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, and growth in a fast-growing startup with global ambitions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including at least 2-3 years leading people (Tech Lead or EM).
• Strong technical foundation in backend systems, ideally Go.
• Experience mentoring developers, running 1:1s, and improving team velocity and code quality.
• Skilled at balancing technical depth with empathy and communication.
• Excited to still be hands-on at a strategic level, reviewing, unblocking, prototyping, without being in the sprint delivery loop.
• Experienced in a high-growth startup or scale-up (10-50 engineers) where process and structure were being built.

Responsabilités

• Own and continuously improve the delivery rhythm of your feature team, from scoping and design to shipping and QA.
• Translate product goals into clear technical plans in close partnership with PMs and Design.
• Proactively identify blockers, quality risks, and technical debt, and help the team navigate them effectively.
• Stay close to the code: review architecture proposals, debug complex issues, and occasionally prototype or ship small fixes when it helps the team move faster.
• Partner closely with PMs to prepare pre-planning sessions and ensure smooth, productive grooming cycles.
• Collaborate directly with customers' technical teams on API integrations and enterprise workflows when needed.
