The team:

Production Engineering spans several teams across Trondheim, Ljubljana and Warsaw. We build the technical foundations for Sportradar’s marketplace, helping teams deliver faster and run systems reliably. 

The teams we are hiring for are fully based in our Trondheim office, working closely with local colleagues while still collaborating with our broader international unit. 

We focus on practical improvements and learning. Recent examples include AWS certification study groups, Terraform workshops, and experiments with AI to explore new ideas. Engineers take ownership and build solutions that scale. 

We keep the team connected through open communication, social activities, and close collaboration between engineering and product. Our goal is better delivery and operations.
