AI Engineer

We’re building the future of high school sports content at PlayOn Sports — where AI, video, and data come together to tell the story of every game. As an AI Engineer on the Data Driven Content team, you’ll help transform raw data streams into short-form video highlights that engage millions of fans, athletes, and families.

In this role, you’ll design, build, and optimize AI-powered systems that generate real-time video content from live sports data. You’ll work at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and streaming pipelines, enabling automated highlight generation, scoreboard overlays, and personalized fan experiences at scale.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on ML engineering expertise with a passion for storytelling through sports. You’re excited by the challenge of working with high-volume video (250k+ games/year), real-time signals (scoring, clock, event metadata), and cutting-edge AI techniques.

The outcomes you’ll deliver:
• Automated highlight generation: Deliver accurate, compelling short-form videos within minutes of a live event ending.
• Scalable AI pipelines: Build and optimize systems that reliably process thousands of concurrent video streams with high accuracy.
• Data-driven fan engagement: Enable personalized, automated content that drives subscriptions, ticketing engagement, and ad revenue.

In This Role, You Can Expect To:
• Build and deploy ML/AI models for computer vision, event detection, and highlight selection.
• Engineer scalable pipelines that connect live data streams (scoring feeds, video signals, event metadata) to content outputs.
• Collaborate with Data Platform, BI/Analytics, and Product teams to deliver data-ready APIs and fan-facing video features.
• Apply prompt engineering, model fine-tuning, and multi-modal learning techniques to improve highlight accuracy and relevance.
• Monitor and optimize performance for latency, accuracy, and cost efficiency across large-scale workloads.
• Contribute to the design of PlayOn’s AI-first content framework, from research through production deployment.

To Thrive In This Role, You Have:
• 4+ years in AI/ML engineering or applied research, with strong Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar).
• Experience with computer vision models (object detection, tracking, OCR) and/or video analytics.
• Familiarity with real-time data pipelines (Kafka/Confluent Cloud, Flink SQL, or Spark Streaming).
• Comfort working with large-scale cloud infrastructure (AWS S3, Lambda, GPU instances, Snowflake).
• Strong skills in experimental design, model evaluation, and continuous improvement.
• Bonus: knowledge of sports analytics, prior work with video highlight generation, or personalization/recommendation systems.

How You Play:
• Ownership over Participation — You take responsibility for achieving holistic outcomes, prioritize key objectives, and adapt quickly when situations require a different approach. You follow through even against the toughest challenges.
• Team over Stars — You are a bridge builder, establishing processes and relationships with teams outside your own. You rally around common goals, find win-win solutions, compromise when necessary, and help others succeed.
• Growth over Comfort — You are driven by a desire to grow and actively seek opportunities to expand your comfort zone, skills, and confidence. You embrace new challenges with curiosity, accepting discomfort and failure as opportunities to learn.
• Fairness over Popularity — You approach decisions with a scientist’s mindset, challenging assumptions and remaining objective. You consider long-term impact over short-term gains, proactively seek others’ perspectives, and manage emotions in decision-making.

Playon is looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who can own outcomes end-to-end across our HQ web application and the services it depends on. The HQ team builds the core administrative and operational experiences that support schools, partners, and internal teams across our ecosystem. Today, features can stall at the seams between frontend and backend, and contractor output needs strong technical leadership to meet our standards. This role helps collapse those seams by combining strong product-facing UI delivery with pragmatic API and service ownership.

You’ll help unify and strengthen HQ and the services behind it—building across a React-based frontend and a polyglot backend spanning Java, Go, and TypeScript/GraphQL with PostgreSQL—while improving how we deploy, scale, and operate on EKS with GitOps

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you’ll build high-impact React surfaces and shape the underlying APIs and event-driven flows that power them. You’ll also help provide day-to-day technical direction and integration guidance for our FE/BE contractor pods to ensure quality and speed.

The outcomes you’ll deliver:
- High-quality HQ web experiences: Build scalable, maintainable React features and patterns that improve user experience and reduce cycle time.
- Cohesive UI + API designs: Turn product requirements into clear full-stack solutions with durable contracts and fewer integration surprises.
- Event-driven maturity: Strengthen cross-domain integrations using Kafka and reliable data fan-out patterns that support HQ workflows.
- Operational excellence: Ensure key services and flows are observable, resilient, and production-ready with meaningful dashboards, alerts, and reliability practices.
- Platform evolution: Help harden domain services and reduce unnecessary coupling to monolith surfaces without slowing product delivery.
- Team and contractor leverage: Establish patterns for component library usage, API contracts, test automation (e2e + contract tests), and delivery hygiene that other engineers and contractors can follow.

In this role, you can expect to:
- Design and ship React + TypeScript features that power HQ’s most important user-facing workflows.
- Collaborate with product and design to turn requirements into cohesive UI architecture, reusable components, and predictable delivery.
- Design and implement APIs—primarily in Java/Spring Boot—that support the HQ web experience, with a focus on stability, versioning, and good developer ergonomics.
- Work comfortably across services in Java and collaborate with teams or codebases in Go, TypeScript, and Python as needed.
- Build and evolve event-driven workflows with reliable publishing/consumption patterns and thoughtful schema discipline.
- Apply strong database fundamentals with PostgreSQL, including data modeling, query performance awareness, and safe migration practices.
- Strengthen CI/CD and deployment safety using AWS, EKS, and a GitOps approach.
- Improve quality with a balanced test strategy across UI, API, integration, and contract/e2e layers.
- Mentor engineers and provide high-signal code review and technical direction for contractors.
