Job Description

Sportradar‘s newly founded Sports Virtualisation unit develops innovative and disruptive technology to enable the transition from traditional sports media consumption to new ways to engage with sports. The latest computer vision technology is key to allow real-time rendering of statistics and virtual ads on top of broadcasts. It also enables the use of skeletal tracking data to render virtual recreations of sports events and transform the way they are experienced. Together with the top leagues and federations around the globe, we are working on our vision for a range of products to increase fan engagement for the world of tomorrow.

We are looking for you to fill the role as Senior Unreal Engine engineer to join the team of talented C++/Blueprint developers and 2D/3D artists to create engaging products using Unreal Engine 5.4 / 5.5. Through the availability of skeletal tracking data of live sports events completely new products can be produced which use game engine technology in non-standard ways. Generating live streams from cloud-based setup, over mass-production of clips in render farms to real-time interactive tools and games are only some of our topics.
