Sporting Solutions is a product led, technology-driven company that sources, generates, and distributes real-time sports betting data. Our systems operate under tight performance demands: low latency, high throughput, and ongoing reliability. We’re working to continually improve our platforms and are evolving our infrastructure and applications — including moving from legacy .NET Framework systems toward modern, containerised .NET 8/9 services running on Kubernetes in both on-prem and cloud environments.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer with a DevOps mindset and deep software engineering experience, especially in .NET. This is a hands-on, leadership role where you’ll help shape the technical vision and engineering practices across the organisation. Leading through example and building Proof-of-Concept solutions to demonstrate improved practices will be key. You’ll work at the intersection of software architecture, DevOps strategy, and high-performance infrastructure, driving forward our modernization efforts and improving how we build, deploy, monitor, and scale our systems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Define and shape our DevOps vision, working closely with senior engineering, infrastructure and existing DevOps teams.
• Lead our migration efforts from legacy .NET Framework apps to .NET 8/9, containerised and orchestrated with Kubernetes.
• Champion best practices in software delivery, CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Drive improvements in telemetry and observability, helping us move from log-centric metrics to first-class telemetry using OpenTelemetry and modern observability stacks.
• Optimise for performance, helping the platform scale for low-latency, high-throughput demands in real-time sports data delivery.
• Mentor and guide engineers, promoting a strong DevOps culture and fostering collaboration across teams.
• Architect and implement solutions that span software and infrastructure, balancing resilience, scalability, and maintainability
