We do not expect you to know all these technologies, but hope you want to learn! It is important what competence you have, but just as important is who you are as a person. At Sportradar, you will work in teams, so you must have good collaboration skills and want to be a team player. You are eager and have no problem taking the initiative if you see that something can be done differently or more efficiently. You are hungry to learn and have a positive attitude. Do you recognize yourself in this? Then we want to get to know you better!
