Job Description

Sporting Solutions is a product led, technology-driven company that sources, generates, and distributes real-time sports betting data. Our systems operate under tight performance demands: low latency, high throughput, and ongoing reliability. We’re working to continually improve our platforms and are evolving our infrastructure and applications — including moving from legacy .NET Framework systems toward modern, containerised .NET 8/9 services running on Kubernetes in both on-prem and cloud environments.

About the Role

We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer with a DevOps mindset and deep software engineering experience, especially in .NET. This is a hands-on, leadership role where you'll help shape the technical vision and engineering practices across the organisation. Leading through example and building Proof-of-Concept solutions to demonstrate improved practices will be key. You’ll work at the intersection of software architecture, DevOps strategy, and high-performance infrastructure, driving forward our modernization efforts and improving how we build, deploy, monitor, and scale our systems.

What You’ll Do

• Define and shape our DevOps vision, working closely with senior engineering, infrastructure and existing DevOps teams.

• Lead our migration efforts from legacy .NET Framework apps to .NET 8/9, containerised and orchestrated with Kubernetes.

• Champion best practices in software delivery, CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Drive improvements in telemetry and observability, helping us move from log-centric metrics to first-class telemetry using OpenTelemetry and modern observability stacks.

• Optimise for performance, helping the platform scale for low-latency, high-throughput demands in real-time sports data delivery.

• Mentor and guide engineers, promoting a strong DevOps culture and fostering collaboration across teams.

• Architect and implement solutions that span software and infrastructure, balancing resilience, scalability, and maintainability

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• Proven experience as a Senior or Principal Engineer in both software and DevOps contexts.

• Strong .NET software engineering background.

• Deep expertise in Kubernetes (on-prem and cloud) and Terraform.

• Experience with real-time, event-driven systems and message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka).

• Strong grasp of telemetry, observability, and performance monitoring in distributed systems.

• Track record of technical leadership and setting engineering standards.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar observability tooling.

• Exposure to hybrid-cloud or cloud migration strategies.

• Familiarity with performance optimisation in low-latency data pipelines.

• Contributions to DevOps-related communities, blogs, open source, or talks.

What You’ll Get

• The opportunity to shape the future of DevOps and Developer Experience within an innovative, high volume-growth, data-centric company.

• Freedom to influence architecture and tooling decisions.

• A collaborative, pragmatic engineering culture focused on excellence.

• A domain which offers continual learning opportunities and a plethora of engaging technical challenges.

What we offer

• Competitive annual leave package that increases with length of service + day off for your birthday!

• Hybrid working - 2 days a week in the office

• Company contribution to discounted gym scheme

• Vitality health care for you and your household

• Competitive yearly performance bonus

• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave

• Access to discounts for online shopping

• Cycle to work scheme
