Our Platform Engineering team is the backbone of all of it. We run a multi-cloud estate across AWS and Azure, with Kubernetes, Terraform and GitOps at the heart of how we work.

🏢 About Beyond Sports

At Beyond Sports, we move fast, collaborate closely, and build things that haven’t existed before. We are a creative, innovative company that partners with major sports organizations to redefine how fans experience sports globally.

🎯 The Role

As our primary Senior DevOps Engineer for Azure, you’ll play a pivotal role in keeping the platforms behind some of the world’s biggest sports experiences reliable, secure and performant. Working alongside the wider Platform Engineering team and our development squads, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of our Azure estate, from AKS and Function Apps to Front Door, App Gateway and Azure DNS. When you’re not working in Azure, you’ll get stuck into our AWS estate (our main cloud), collaborating closely with the team across EKS, IAM, CloudFront, Route 53 and more. One day you might be designing hub-and-spoke network architecture, managing Infrastructure as Code in Terraform, or standardising CI/CD pipelines across GitLab, Bitbucket and ArgoCD. The next, you could be investigating a production issue, rotating certificates and secrets, validating backup integrity, or mentoring a colleague on automation best practices. You’ll serve as a key technical lead within the team, driving operational excellence, security and continuous improvement. Because we thrive on collaboration and shared ownership, your work will directly shape how reliably millions of sports fans can access our products worldwide.
