ScorePlay is the platform major sports organizations use to manage, search and share their media, from the second it’s captured to the moment it reaches everyone’s screen. A photographer uploads thousands of shots after the final whistle. A live feed has to be logged and clipped into highlights while the game is still being played. The right assets have to reach 10,000+ athletes, partners and newsrooms worldwide, automatically, not one file at a time.
Underneath that sits 15+ petabytes of media, 145M+ minutes of video ingested every month, a multi-region distributed architecture, and event-driven pipelines that have to hold up on match day. Much of the infrastructure needed at that scale simply hasn’t been built before.
All of it runs on infrastructure built and operated by our Platform team, which today is one person. You’ll be the second.
You’ll work hand in hand with Maxime, our founding SRE, who built this platform from nothing and is looking for a peer, not a report. You’ll split the roadmap based on your strengths and preferences, report directly to our Head of Engineering, and own topics end to end: scoping, choosing the technical approach, and shipping to production. Much of the platform exists. A lot of what comes next is still to be designed.
🔥 Why this is technically interesting
Storage economics at 15PB and growing. Storage and egress dominate our bill, so cost is an architectural problem, not a spreadsheet exercise. It’s also why we’re building Bring Your Own Storage: clients keep their media in their own cloud account and our platform operates on top of it. Making media sharing economically viable across providers, at petabyte scale, without giving up performance, is not a solved problem, and it’s a commercial differentiator, not a side project.
High availability when there is no maintenance window. A match happens once. Live ingest, streaming and distribution have to hold during the exact hours our clients care about most, across multiple regions. You’ll own the architecture that makes match day boring.
A platform product, with engineers as the users. Product engineers should be able to develop locally, deploy through clean pipelines, and spin up the infrastructure they need without waiting on you. Turning Platform from a potential bottleneck into an enabler, self-service tooling, clear processes, fast support on incoming requests, is half the job.
