Together with partners like NFL, NHL, FIFA, and Disney, we push the boundaries of real-time sports data, 3D graphics, and AI-driven storytelling.\nIf you’re passionate about machine learning architecture, scalable technical solutions, and guiding engineering teams through complex technical challenges, this could be your next move.\nWhat Your Day Will Look Like\nAs a Team Architect (Machine Learning Focus), you’ll act as the specialist technical authority within your discipline - helping shape the architecture, technical direction, and implementation strategy behind our ML-driven products and platforms.\nYou’ll work closely with Machine Learning Engineers, Tech Leads, Product teams, and other Team Architects to design intelligent systems that transform live sports data into immersive digital experiences.\nYour role combines strategic thinking with hands-on technical leadership. One day you might be evaluating approaches for scalable inference pipelines or motion synthesis systems. The next, you could be building Proof of Concepts, reviewing model deployment strategies, or helping squads solve complex architecture and integration challenges.\nYou’ll guide technical implementation across areas such as trajectory prediction, motion synthesis, real-time data processing, and cloud-hosted ML services.\nYou’ll also ensure solutions are scalable, reusable, maintainable, and aligned with wider engineering standards across the business.\nWhat We Value\nAt Beyond Sports, we move fast, experiment boldly, and trust our people. We believe the best results happen when engineers, ML specialists, artists, and creatives work closely together to build things that genuinely haven’t existed before.\nYou’ll fit right in if you:\nLove applied machine learning and technical architecture\nYou enjoy designing scalable systems and turning complex technical ideas into practical solutions.\n\nThink in systems and implementation strategy\nYou naturally balance innovation, scalability, maintainability, and delivery requirements.\n\nStay hands-on technically You enjoy prototyping, validating ideas through code, and supporting engineers with difficult technical challenges.\n\nCollaborate naturally\nYou can communicate technical approaches clearly across disciplines and with non-technical stakeholders.\n\nCare about quality and reusability\nYou value maintainable systems, reusable tooling, and strong engineering standards.\n\nStay curious\nYou actively follow developments in machine learning, cloud infrastructure, and modern engineering practices.\n\nYour Background\nYou don’t need to tick every box, but we’re generally looking for:\nStrong experience in machine learning engineering, software architecture, or technical leadership\n\nDeep expertise in a relevant technical domain such as ML systems, data pipelines, backend engineering, or cloud infrastructure\n\nExperience deploying ML systems into production, including serving, monitoring, and retraining\n\nFamiliarity with MLOps tooling such as MLflow, CI/CD workflows, and model monitoring\n\nExperience with AWS, Azure, or GCP\n\nExperience 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.\n\nHands-on experience building and training deep learning models in PyTorch\n\nStrong understanding of scalable APIs, cloud-native systems, and modern engineering practices\n\nExperience creating Proof of Concepts and evaluating technical approaches\n\nAbility to communicate technical solutions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences\n\nExperience collaborating across multidisciplinary engineering teams\n\nWillingness to work on-site in our Alkmaar office\n\nNice to Have (But Not Required)\nUnderstanding of real-time systems, motion synthesis, or 3D graphics pipelines\n\nExperience with Unity or other game engines\n\nInterest in football or other team sports\n\nWhy Level Up Your Career at Beyond Sports\nFast-moving, creative, and technically ambitious - that’s our world.\nHigh impact: Your work helps shape how millions experience sports globally\n\nTechnical ownership: Influence implementation strategy, architecture, and engineering standards\n\nHands-on innovation: Build POCs and help define the future of our ML systems\n\nConstant learning: From machine learning research to real-time 3D systems, there’s always something new\n\nReal collaboration: Engineers, artists, ML specialists, and product teams working side by side\n\nAnd we make sure it’s a great place to work:\n25 days of paid leave per year\n\nPension program\n\nLunch included\n\nGym card\n\nFresh fruit, great coffee, and Friday drinks\n\nBi-monthly team outings\n\nOffice games like FIFA, chess, and ping-pong\n\nSony Benefits and much more!\n\nReady to Build the Future of Sports?\nIf you’re excited about shaping machine learning architecture, solving complex technical challenges, and building systems that transform how fans experience sports - we’d love to hear from you.\nAt Beyond Sports, you won’t just design technical solutions.\nYou’ll help bring sports to life.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5412,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Fan Engagement","Sports Analytics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T01:56:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.544,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":145,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/beyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/beyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T11:52:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8493,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":685791},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=685791"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbeyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbeyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbeyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/beyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbeyondsports-software-architect-machine-learning"}]}
