Help us secure the game’s future with technology

This is a pivotal role where you will not only help us turn cutting‑edge AI prototypes into robust, production‑ready applications, but also take ownership of the underlying platform.

To be successful in this role you will hold GCP Associate Cloud Engineer course. If you have a solid grounding in DevOps principles, a passion for automation, and an interest in how AI is changing the football industry, we want to hear from you.
