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 leading technical teams, scaling machine learning systems, and staying hands-on with engineering while shaping delivery strategy, this could be your next move.\nWhat Your Day Will Look Like\nAs a Technical Delivery Lead, you’ll sit at the center of engineering execution, technical strategy, and machine learning innovation.\nYour 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.\nYou’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.\nOne 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.\nYou’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.\nBecause 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.\nYou’ll also help evolve engineering standards, delivery practices, and technical governance 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, artists, ML specialists, and creatives work together to build things that genuinely haven’t existed before.\nYou’ll fit right in if you:\nLove applied machine learning and engineering leadership\n\nEnjoy turning ambitious ideas into scalable production systems\n\nStay hands-on technically and enjoy solving difficult problems\n\nThink in systems, architecture, and long-term scalability\n\nCommunicate complex technical ideas clearly\n\nCare deeply about quality, maintainability, and technical standards\n\nStay curious about modern ML, cloud, and real-time technologies\n\nYour Background\nYou don’t need to tick every box, but we’re generally looking for:\nStrong experience in software engineering, technical delivery, or technical leadership\n\nExperience deploying ML systems into production, including serving, monitoring, and retraining\n\nExperience leading or mentoring engineering squads\n\nHands-on experience building and training deep learning models in PyTorch\n\nFamiliarity with MLOps tooling such as MLflow and CI/CD workflows\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\nExperience balancing leadership responsibilities with active development\n\nStrong stakeholder communication and delivery planning skills\n\nWillingness to work on-site in our Alkmaar office\n\nNice to Have (But Not Required)\nStrong understanding of scalable systems, APIs, and cloud-native architectures\n\nUnderstanding of real-time data systems or 3D graphics pipelines\n\nExperience with Unity or 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 shapes how millions experience sports globally\n\nTechnical ownership: Influence architecture, delivery strategy, and engineering standards\n\nHands-on innovation: Help build the future of our technology stack\n\nConstant learning: From ML research to real-time 3D systems, there’s always something new\n\nReal collaboration: Engineers, artists, and product teams working side by side\n\nAnd we make sure it’s a great place to work:\n25 days off per year - rest is part of performance\n\nPension program - future you says thanks\n\nLunch included - no daily food logistics\n\nCompany gym card - stay sharp on and off the screen\n\nFresh fruit, coffee, and Friday drinks\n\nFree access to fitness with the company card\n\nReady to Build the Future of Sports?\nIf you’re excited about leading technical delivery while staying deeply involved in machine learning, real-time systems, and scalable engineering - and want to help shape technology that changes how fans experience the game - we’d love to hear from you.\nAt Beyond Sports, you won’t just deliver technical projects.\nYou’ll help bring sports to life!","description_format":"text","description_chars":5179,"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":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.459,"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-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/beyondsports-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T12:58:52Z","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":9119,"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-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2"},{"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-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2"},{"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-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2"},{"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-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbeyondsports-technical-delivery-lead-machine-learning-2"}]}
