Unreal Engine Developer (m/f/d)

Sportradar‘s newly founded Sports Virtualisation unit develops innovative and disruptive technology to enable the transition from traditional sports media consumption to new ways to engage with sports. The latest computer vision technology is key to allowing real-time rendering of statistics and virtual ads on top of broadcasts. It also enables the use of skeletal tracking data to render virtual recreations of sports events and transform the way they are experienced. Together with the top leagues and federations around the globe, we are working on our vision for a range of products to increase fan engagement for the world of tomorrow.

We are looking for you to fill the role of Unreal Engine engineer to join the team of talented C++/Blueprint developers and 2D/3D artists to create engaging products using Unreal Engine 5.3 / 5.4. Through the availability of skeletal tracking data of live sports events, completely new products can be produced which use game engine technology in non-standard ways.
