Technical Delivery Lead - Machine Learning

Join Our Team as a Technical Delivery Lead at Beyond Sports

Are you excited about machine learning, technical leadership, and building the systems powering the future of sports entertainment?

At Beyond Sports, we don’t just visualize sports, we reinvent how fans experience them. Together with partners like NFL, NHL, FIFA, and Disney, we push the boundaries of real-time sports data, 3D graphics, and AI-driven storytelling.

If you’re passionate about leading technical teams, scaling machine learning systems, and staying hands-on with engineering while shaping delivery strategy, this could be your next move.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Technical Delivery Lead, you’ll sit at the center of engineering execution, technical strategy, and machine learning innovation.

Your role combines leadership with hands-on development. You’ll guide engineering squads delivering complex AI-driven systems while contributing directly to architecture, Proof of Concepts, and high-complexity technical challenges.

You’ll work closely with Machine Learning Engineers, Tech Leads, Technical Architects, Product teams, and creatives to build intelligent systems that transform live sports data into immersive digital experiences.

One day you might be shaping scalable ML pipelines for motion synthesis and trajectory prediction. The next, you could be prototyping cloud-hosted inference services, reviewing technical approaches, or stepping into the codebase to unblock delivery.

You’ll help teams apply cutting-edge ML techniques, including Transformers, Graph Neural Networks, Diffusion models, and real-time geometry pipelines, while ensuring solutions remain scalable, maintainable, and production-ready.

Because we believe leadership starts with technical credibility, you’ll stay hands-on at your core. Around 60% of your time will involve active engineering work: building POCs, solving difficult technical problems, improving tooling, and supporting critical delivery initiatives.

You’ll also help evolve engineering standards, delivery practices, and technical governance across the business.

What We Value

At Beyond Sports, we move fast, experiment boldly, and trust our people. We believe the best results happen when engineers, artists, ML specialists, and creatives work together to build things that genuinely haven’t existed before.

You’ll fit right in if you

Love applied machine learning and engineering leadership

Enjoy turning ambitious ideas into scalable production systems

Stay hands-on technically and enjoy solving difficult problems

Think in systems, architecture, and long-term scalability

Communicate complex technical ideas clearly

Care deeply about quality, maintainability, and technical standards

Stay curious about modern ML, cloud, and real-time technologies

Your Background

You don’t need to tick every box, but we’re generally looking for:

Strong experience in software engineering, technical delivery, or technical leadership

Experience deploying ML systems into production, including serving, monitoring, and retraining

Experience leading or mentoring engineering squads

Hands-on experience building and training deep learning models in PyTorch

Familiarity with MLOps tooling such as MLflow and CI/CD workflows

Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP

Experience with sequence models (e.g. transformers, RNNs) or generative models (e.g. diffusion, flow, or GANs) — applied to any domain; experience with spatiotemporal, time-series, or motion/trajectory data is a strong plus.

Experience balancing leadership responsibilities with active development

Strong stakeholder communication and delivery planning skills

Willingness to work on-site in our Alkmaar office

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

Strong understanding of scalable systems, APIs, and cloud-native architectures

Understanding of real-time data systems or 3D graphics pipelines

Experience with Unity or game engines

Interest in football or other team sports
