About the Company
ScorePlay is the AI-powered media infrastructure for sports, built to automate the content operations behind the world's biggest sports organizations. We work with 300+ leagues, competitions, teams, and broadcasters – including Ligue 1 and Premier League clubs, NBA and NFL teams, the Tour de France, the Australian Open, and leading bodies like UEFA and FIBA – helping them turn every moment on and off the field into high-value, structured content. Our platform brings all their media into one place and makes it effortless to find, edit, and share in seconds.
Founded in 2021, we’re a 50-person team based between New York and Paris, growing 2x year over year with 98% retention. We’ve raised $20M+ from top investors including Alexis Ohanian and Harry Stebbing’s 20VC and elite athletes like Kevin Durant, Raphaël Varane, Mario Götze, Nico Rosberg, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
If you’re passionate about sports and thrive in fast-paced environments - and you want to help shape how the next generation of fans experience sports, you’re in the right place. We’re on track to become the global leader in sports media, and this is definitely the best time to join our adventure.
Responsibilities
Fixing things for clients
- Investigate and resolve technical issues raised by clients during and after onboarding: failed imports, metadata mismatches, integration errors, permission and access problems.
- Dig into logs, API responses, and existing scripts to find the actual root cause rather than patching the symptom.
- Be a reliable point of contact for client technical teams, and escalate to Engineering with a clear diagnosis when something needs a product fix.
Taking part in complex rollouts
- Join large deployments alongside senior engineers: archive migrations, platform setups, bulk operations, backfills.
- Own the repeatable parts of a rollout yourself: environment prep, configuration, data checks, validation before go-live.
- Follow our deployment playbook, and improve it with what you learn in the field.
Building so the team scales
This part grows as you do. Once you know our deployments well enough to see what keeps coming back, you’ll have room to build.
- Turn recurring issues into something that stops them recurring: scripts, internal tools, AI agents.
- Automate parts of our delivery work that are still manual today, and package what works so the rest of the team can reuse it.
- Help the Deployment team get better at using AI day to day.
Requirements
- Final year of an engineering program OR a master’s degree in Business with at least one experience working on technical topics
- Solid understanding of APIs, able to read and understand code (Python, JavaScript, Bash, or similar) and modify an existing script. You don’t need to be a software engineer.
- A genuine power user of AI tools. You use them every day, you know what they’re good at and where they fall apart.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. A lot of what you’ll touch has no existing solution yet.
- At ease talking to clients, including technical teams at large organizations.
- Fluent English, written and spoken. French is a plus.
We Offer
- Based in our New York office (we provide the VISA)
- 6-month internship, starting Q1 or Q2 2027
- Compensation: $3,500/month
