Senior DevOps Engineer at Beyond Sports Location: Budapest, Hungary Duration: 12 months FTC Working Arrangement: Onsite Join Our Team as a Senior DevOps Engineer at Beyond Sports! Are you passionate about resilient cloud platforms, elegant automation, and leading the infrastructure behind next-generation digital experiences that capture global audiences? At Beyond Sports, we don’t just visualise 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. Our Platform Engineering team is the backbone of all of it. We run a multi-cloud estate across AWS and Azure, with Kubernetes, Terraform and GitOps at the heart of how we work. If you’re an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with deep Azure expertise, a strong grasp of networking and the Well-Architected Framework, and a desire to lead and mentor within a collaborative platform team, this is the perfect next step in your career.

Working alongside the wider Platform Engineering team and our development squads, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of our Azure estate, from AKS and Function Apps to Front Door, App Gateway and Azure DNS.

One day you might be designing hub-and-spoke network architecture, managing Infrastructure as Code in Terraform, or standardising CI/CD pipelines across GitLab, Bitbucket and ArgoCD. The next, you could be investigating a production issue, rotating certificates and secrets, validating backup integrity, or mentoring a colleague on automation best practices.

You’ll serve as a key technical lead within the team, driving operational excellence, security and continuous improvement.
