Staff Software Engineer (Sports)
We are on a mission to pioneer the world’s next era of play. As we grow across Europe and Latin America, we’re building The Playstack - the technology powering the next generation of sports, gaming, and fan experiences. Join us, and help make it the most widely used platform in the world! From operations, to marketing, to product, we are looking for talented people who will shape how millions of customers play, watch, and connect every day.
As a Staff Software Engineer at Super, you will operate far beyond the scope of a single team or service, working directly with senior engineering leadership to tackle large, cross-area technical challenges that span dozens — sometimes hundreds — of services across the platform. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of architecture, strategy, and execution, suited to someone who thrives on complex systems and ambiguous problems. You will help shape technical direction, guide major platform evolutions, and ensure our systems remain scalable, reliable, and efficient as we grow.

Enhance system automation across scale, resiliency, and deployment
Build and improve core platform components and shared libraries (AWS, Go, Erlang, Kafka) used across the organisation
Work with technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand and drive platform-wide improvements
Build on our cloud-native platform, enabling greater use of AWS technology to accelerate delivery, scale, and resiliency
Grow the engineering community, elevating standards and helping teams operate more efficiently
What we are looking for
Minimum 8 years of hands-on experience in a large-scale production environment
Experience designing and implementing solutions at an organisational level, impacting multiple teams or tribes
Experience engineering high-quality, highly scalable software
Strong system design fundamentals, particularly in distributed systems
Ability to analyse complex technical problems and develop clear strategies
Comfort working in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction across teams
