Sportradar

Sportradar is a global sports technology company founded in 2001 that operates at the intersection of sports, media and betting. It supplies real-time sports data, analytics and related products to sports federations, media companies and betting operators. The firm, publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker SRAD, has grown from a startup into a listed company with a worldwide presence across the sports, media, betting, fantasy sports and technology sectors.

Its core product is live play-by-play data delivery: the capture of live sporting events and the transmission of that data in real time to companies in media, technology and fantasy sports. This involves handling massive volumes of sports data every second. A second line of business provides analytics and products that power immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors worldwide.

Engineering work at Sportradar centres on real-time data capture and delivery, scalable data processing and sports data engineering. The technology stack is cloud-native and built on a microservices architecture, with a focus on systems that can scale with data volumes. Teams work collaboratively with sports federations, media companies and betting operators, and the company describes its mission as a belief that technology can enhance how people experience sports.
