Description

I’m working with a global technology company that sits right at the heart of professional sport. Their platform is used every day by elite athletes, coaches and performance teams around the world to train smarter, make better decisions and push performance to the next level. They’re building products that actually get used (at scale) by real people under real pressure. Think millions of users, live data, constant iteration and a culture that ships hundreds of changes a day. This is a great chance to really join a pioneering & innovation lead market leader working in one of the most exciting global domains!
