Senior C++ Software Engineer
Sportradar's Sports Virtualisation unit develops innovative technologies to enable new ways to engage with sports. The latest computer vision technology is key to allowing 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.
Sportradar is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a team of C++ developers and 2D/3D artists to create engaging products using Unreal Engine 5.6+. 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. This involves generating live streams from cloud-based setups by transforming and distributing live skeletal tracking data to be used to create interactive virtual matches or high-quality clips.
- Support the international team of C++ developers and designers in exciting projects.
- Perform maintenance and stabilisation of running systems.
- Integrate high-performance C++ techniques with Unreal Engine's rendering capabilities to push the boundaries of real-time broadcast graphics.
- Generalise functionality into modules that can be reused in multiple or future products.
- Share knowledge and experience with the rest of the team.
- Support and guide junior developers and non-developer members of the team.
- Plan and develop new features together with the team with C++ or other programming languages.
- Degree in software development, or other relevant experience (required).
- 3 years of experience as a software developer, either professionally or in personal projects (required).
- Excellent knowledge in object-oriented programming languages like C++ and Python (required).
