Description du poste

About Us

Sportradar is a sports data and technology company. As Staff Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you work like an internal consultant: you are placed in other departments and business units, talk with the business, find the real problems, cut through complexity, simplify processes and then build the AI solution. You work independently with little supervision, navigate organisational complexity and competing priorities to get things done, own the technical strategy for your use cases, and lead delivery of LLM and agentic systems from discovery to production.

The Challenge

• Meet with department leads and teams to understand how work is done today, identify problems and frame them clearly.
• Break down unclear, cluttered situations into defined problems, scope, success criteria and a delivery plan.
• Streamline and simplify business processes, and decide where AI helps and where it does not.
• Navigate stakeholders, approvals and competing priorities pragmatically to keep work moving.
• Own technical strategy and architecture for your internal engagements.
• Design and deliver production agentic and LLM systems, including retrieval (RAG), tool use, context and prompt design, guardrails and observability.
• Define and run evaluations (test sets, regression suites, monitoring) that guide design and model choices.
• Mentor colleagues, review designs and share reusable patterns.

About You

• Typically 8+ years of software engineering experience, including senior work with business stakeholders.
• Strong communication with business and technical audiences, including senior stakeholders.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with little supervision on ambiguous work.
• Ability to navigate organisational complexity and competing priorities to get things done.
• Strong problem-finding and analytical skills; experience simplifying complex processes or systems.
• Experience building and operating production systems; strong system design.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs and agents (prompting, tool use, RAG, evaluation).
• Strong Python; experience with data pipelines and a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP).

Nice to have

• Consulting or internal-consulting experience.
