About this position

At Dizplai, we transform passive audiences into active communities that drive culture, conversation, and commerce. We partner with Premier League clubs, global motorsport organisations, Olympic sports federations, leading broadcasters, and multi‑million subscriber creator networks across sports and entertainment, helping them turn attention into lasting commercial value. By combining creative consultancy, interactive technology, and data‑driven insights, we help unlock the full commercial potential of audiences. We’re at the forefront of the shift where platforms are the new networks, creators are the new media companies, and fans want to belong, not just watch.

About the Role

You’ll work across Product and Engineering to explore new ideas, solve complex technical challenges, and turn ambitious concepts into scalable, production‑ready solutions.

• Strong software engineering background with experience delivering production systems
• Deep knowledge of modern software architecture and cloud‑native design
• Hands‑on AWS experience
• Experience building APIs, integrations and distributed systems
• Ability to build prototypes and technical proof of concepts
• Experience working closely with Product teams during discovery
• Commercial mindset with the ability to balance technical excellence against business value
• Curiosity about AI and practical experience using AI within software delivery
• Serverless and event‑driven architectures
• SaaS, media, martech or digital products
• Product experimentation and A/B testing
• AI‑enabled products and engineering workflows

You’ll thrive if you

• Are hands‑on and enjoy writing code
• Thrives in fast‑moving environments
• Thinks commercially as well as technically
• Collaborates naturally across engineering, product and commercial teams
• Loves learning and exploring new technologies
• Can influence through expertise rather than authority
