Software Engineer

Do you want to be part of the team behind the world’s most accurate optical tracking system for football? At TRACAB, we develop real-time solutions that have been used in some of the world’s biggest events, such as the FIFA World Cup, as well as by top football leagues including Bundesliga, LaLiga and MLS. Every match day, our technology transforms how fans, analysts, and teams experience the game.

As a Software Developer with Tracab, you will play an integral role in designing, implementing, and maintaining applications primarily in NodeJS/TypeScript. You will work closely with our team to deliver highly stable, scalable, and real-time code solutions that power game statistics and player tracking at top sports venues around the world. This role will also involve collaborating on the development of KPIs for various stakeholders across the sports industry. To support our real-time systems, experience with Docker, Kubernetes, MongoDB, Redis, and RabbitMQ is essential.

E.g., if the client requires statistics to understand player passing patterns better, you will write the code, evaluate, test and implement your solution within the platform. You are a part of the whole chain and within a couple of weeks you can see your results in a game when you watch TV.
