About the Role  

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer on our Sports AI team to help build the next generation of real-time AI systems powering sports analysis and insights. 

These systems transform live sports broadcasts (incorporating signals from video, crowd noise, audio commentary, and text) into a structured understanding of game context and auto-generated insights. The outputs from these systems power a range of products including automated highlight clipping, augmented broadcasts, semi-automatic play-by-play collection, and natural-language insight generation. For example, these systems can detect a goal, attribute it to the correct player, and localize where it occurred on the pitch within seconds by combining crowd noise spikes, commentary signals, and video cues. 

This role sits at the intersection of streaming and distributed systems, AI, and product engineering. You’ll build and operate real-time pipelines that process noisy, asynchronous inputs under tight latency constraints. These systems combine traditional streaming and data processing techniques with modern multimodal AI models to produce reliable outputs in production. 

You’ll work on challenges like aligning signals across multiple sources, handling uncertainty and inconsistency in model outputs, and designing systems that degrade gracefully in real-world conditions. We are early in building these capabilities, so the role involves working through ambiguity, experimenting with different approaches, and building new systems from first principles where established patterns don’t yet exist. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Design, build, and operate real-time streaming systems that convert live sports broadcasts into structured events, attributes, and insights
• Ingest and synchronize signals from video, audio, commentary, and data feeds under real-world latency and reliability constraints
• Integrate modern AI models into production systems, including multi-step pipelines where model outputs are composed, validated, and refined
• Design and implement evaluation and observability frameworks to measure system quality, including offline benchmarks, real-time metrics, and regression testing
• Develop mechanisms for identifying and handling uncertainty in model outputs, such as confidence scoring, validation checks, and human-in-the-loop workflows where appropriate
• Own systems end-to-end from early prototypes through production, making key architectural decisions around scalability, reliability, and performance
• Collaborate closely with product and data partners to shape, prioritize, and ship high-impact systems
• Mentor engineers and help establish best practices for building and operating applied AI systems in production 

  
Qualifications   

• 5+ years of experience building production-grade software systems 
• Strong software engineering fundamentals including system design, testing, observability, and performance 
• Experience building streaming, data-intensive, and/or distributed systems with real-time constraints
• Proven ability to design scalable systems that are robust under real-world conditions, including handling partial failures, inconsistent data, and latency tradeoffs
• Ability to evaluate system quality beyond traditional metrics (e.g., ambiguous or probabilistic outputs)
• Product-minded: able to translate ambiguous problems into practical, high-impact solutions
• Strong, demonstrated interest in building AI-powered features or systems; keep up with latest generative AI progress and capabilities
• Comfortable working in fast-moving, iterative environments with evolving requirements 

  
Preferred Qualifications   

• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs and other ML/AI systems in production workflows via platforms like Vertex AI or AWS Bedrock
• Experience building or maintaining human-in-the-loop workflows
• Familiarity with streaming systems and tooling (e.g., Pulsar, Kafka, Flink, etc.)
• Experience working with audio/video streaming and processing systems, including familiarity with media delivery protocols (e.g., HLS, DASH, RTP), container formats, codecs, and tooling such as FFmpeg or GStreamer
• Background or strong interest in sports
• Experience with Rust 

The salary for this role is based on an annualized range of $160,000 - $230,000 USD. This role will also be eligible to take part in Genius Sports Group's benefits plan.

We enjoy an ‘office-first’ culture and maximize opportunities to collaborate, connect and learn together. Our hybrid working models differ depending on your role and location. Occasional travel may be required.

About Human Agency

We're scaling rapidly and have a growing pipeline of opportunities that demand exceptional talent across disciplines. Our mission is to bring on individuals, from creative producers to technical experts to entrepreneurial leaders, who can help us realize this next chapter of growth.

We are a company of doers. Leaders roll up their sleeves, teams work flat, and everyone contributes to what ships. Titles don't insulate us from feedback or basics. We invite critique, learn quickly, and keep raising the bar. The best ideas win here, no matter where they come from, because clients trust us to deliver the strongest outcomes every time.

Our clients' missions, products, and bottom lines are sacred. We immerse ourselves in their world, becoming stewards of their goals and partners in solving big problems. Every product, strategy, or asset we create must be both beautiful and functional; practical, usable, and designed for real-world impact.

Humans are our most valuable resource, and we only grow by hiring people who push us forward. Across strategy, engineering, design, data, and operations, we seek out teammates who raise the bar and make us better. Always hire up, never down.

We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. We believe AI should amplify human potential, not replace it and we build with that conviction in every engagement. From advisory and tooling to implementation and education, we meet clients where they are at and help them integrate AI in ways that align with their mission and values. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation.

And through it all, we lead with purpose, love, and adventure. We do meaningful work with people we care about, and we make the ride an adventure worth taking. Because at Human Agency, who we are and how we work are one and the same.

The Opportunity

We partner with large design-build companies (~$10B revenue) that employ thousands of project engineers and project managers running complex jobsites across the country. Human Agency is building custom AI tools and strategies to make those teams dramatically more effective. The missing piece is someone who lives in the field, understands how construction actually works, and can connect the dots between emerging technology and real jobsite needs.

That’s this role. You’ll travel to active jobsites, shadow project teams, and develop a deep, current picture of how work gets done, where it breaks down, and where technology can genuinely help. You’ll be the person who’s wildly up to speed on everything happening in construction technology — from autonomous equipment to AI-assisted estimating to reality capture — and can evaluate where each piece might actually fit in the real workflows you’re observing.

You carry two mandates. Enablement: helping field teams understand and leverage AI tools to work better, faster, and smarter. Intelligence: capturing expert knowledge from the people who actually build things, understanding the technology landscape with depth and nuance, and feeding those insights directly into Human Agency’s venture studio and product roadmap. Your perspective shapes what we build, who we invest in, and how we think about making our design-build partners great.

What You’ll Own

Field Intelligence & Expert Knowledge Capture

• Conduct structured job shadows of Project Engineers, Project Managers, and superintendents across project types — healthcare, industrial, data centers, commercial — to map how work actually flows day-to-day and where the friction, waste, and brilliance live.
• Extract and codify expert knowledge from experienced construction professionals. The people you shadow know things that aren’t written down anywhere. Your job is to capture that institutional intelligence and make it an asset.
• Synthesize field observations into actionable briefs for Human Agency’s venture studio and product teams, directly informing what to build, what to invest in, and where the biggest opportunities are.
• Build and maintain a living knowledge base of construction workflows, pain points, and technology gaps across our design-build partners’ project portfolios.
• Identify systemic patterns across jobsites and project types that point to high-leverage opportunities for technology intervention or process improvement.

Contech Landscape & Evaluation

• Maintain comprehensive, current knowledge of the construction technology landscape. You should have an informed opinion on every major platform, startup, and emerging capability in the space.
• Evaluate emerging technologies like Bedrock Robotics (autonomous heavy equipment), reality capture tools, AI co-pilots for estimating and scheduling, and next-generation project management platforms against real jobsite needs you’re observing firsthand.
• Develop technology fit assessments: given what you see in the field, where could a given tool actually create value vs. where would it be shelfware? Your judgment on this is the product.
• Brief Human Agency and client leadership on contech trends, investment-worthy companies, and technology bets with a practitioner’s perspective, not a vendor’s pitch.
• Contribute directly to Human Agency’s venture studio thesis on where the AEC industry is heading and which technology gaps represent real opportunities.

AI Enablement & Coaching

• Help jobsite teams understand and adopt AI-assisted workflows that Human Agency has built for the client — tools for submittals, change orders, RFP assessment, meeting synthesis, quality knowledge, and more.
• Run hands-on coaching sessions (1:1, small group, lunch-and-learns) that translate AI capabilities into construction language. You’re teaching a PM how this saves them an hour on submittals, not lecturing about large language models.
• Identify the highest-leverage AI use cases for specific roles and project types based on what you’re seeing in the field, and work with our product team to customize solutions accordingly.
• Serve as the credible, trusted voice on AI and technology for field teams. You earn this by understanding their work, not by evangelizing from a slide deck.
• Surface adoption barriers, user friction, and workflow mismatches back to the product team so tools get better with every jobsite visit.

Who You Are

Required

• Construction industry experience (3+ years) with time spent on or around jobsites. You know what a three-week lookahead is, you’ve seen a PE’s actual day, and you understand the difference between how construction is supposed to work and how it actually works. Backgrounds in project engineering, project management, field operations, or construction technology.
• Deep fluency with the contech landscape. You follow the space obsessively — you know the players, the platforms, the funding rounds, and the gaps. You have a point of view on where it’s all heading.
• AI literacy that goes beyond using ChatGPT. You’ve built workflows, automated processes, and can demonstrate how AI tools change the way people work. You can teach this to others.
• Exceptional communication skills across audiences — you can have a credible conversation with a superintendent on a slab at 6am and brief a C-suite on technology strategy at 2pm.
• Comfort with heavy travel (60–80%) to jobsites across the country. This role lives in the field, not behind a desk.
• Natural credibility with construction professionals. You’re respected in those rooms because you understand the work, not just the tools.

Preferred

• Direct experience with construction technology platforms (Procore, PMWeb, OpenSpace, Bluebeam, BIM tools, or similar) — either as a power user, implementer, or builder.
• Background in construction technology or AEC innovation — whether at a startup, a GC’s operations or innovation team, or a technology consultancy serving the industry.
• Experience in technology evaluation, venture analysis, or strategic advisory roles where your judgment on “will this actually work” was the deliverable.
• Familiarity with how AI products are built — understanding how field insights and user research translate into product decisions.
• Comfort operating in a consulting structure where you’re a Human Agency team member embedded in a client’s organization and culture.

Why This Role Matters

Construction is a $13 trillion global industry where the people doing the work are brilliant but chronically underserved by their tools. Technology companies build for construction from the outside. Consultants advise from conference rooms. Nobody is living on jobsites, capturing what experts actually know, staying current on every emerging technology, and connecting those two things together.

That’s the gap this role fills. Your field intelligence shapes what Human Agency builds, who we invest in, and how we help our design-build partners operate at the highest level. Your enablement work ensures that the tools we’ve already built actually land with the people who need them. You’re the connective tissue between technology and the real world — and in an industry this large and this underserved, that’s a position with enormous leverage.

Equal Opportunity Commitment

Human Agency is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diverse backgrounds and strive to build an inclusive culture where everyone feels welcomed and empowered.

The Opportunity

This is a critical and exciting time at Enigma. Our customers consistently tell us that our data products create tremendous value and are deeply aligned with their most important workflows. As demand grows, we have an urgent opportunity to improve both the intelligence of our data and the systems through which customers access it.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our Match Team and help shape the next generation of Enigma’s customer-facing data products.

In this role, you will combine advanced statistical and machine learning research with the engineering systems required to power fast, relevant, and reliable search experiences at scale.

• Experience with generative models, representation learning, model-based reinforcement learning, or learned simulation
• Proficiency in C, C++, or Python
• Expertise with TensorFlow or PyTorch

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience building or training world models, dynamics models, or latent-space simulators (e.g., Dreamer, MuZero, or similar architectures)
• Familiarity with game engines (e.g., Godot, Unity, or Unreal) for prototyping or data collection
• Distributed computing systems design or large-scale model training infrastructure
• Experience with GCP or AWS
• Demonstrated contributions to public research (e.g., publications, talks, open-source projects)

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!

Our Perks:

Riot focuses on work/life balance, shown by our open paid time off policy and other perks such as flexible work schedules. We offer medical, dental, and life insurance, parental leave for you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children, and a 401k with company match. Check out our benefits pages for more information.

At Riot Games, we put players first. That mission drives every decision in our quest to create games and experiences that make it better to be a player. Whether you’re working directly on a new player-facing experience or you’re supporting the company as a whole, everyone at Riot is part of our mission. And just like in our games, we’re better when we work together. Our goal is to create collaborative teams where you are empowered to bring your unique perspective everyday. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’re looking forward to your application.

About the Job

At BuildOps, we’re building a groundbreaking software solution designed to empower today’s commercial contractors. From service management to project execution, we’re reimagining how our customers operate. Our team thrives on ambition, innovation, and collaboration—qualities we look for in every new hire.

As our Founding Engineer, Agentic Business Transformation, you will embed directly within business functions across the organization, deeply understand how teams operate today, and fundamentally reimagine how they should operate tomorrow. This is not about bolting automation onto existing processes; it's about redesigning how work gets done with agentic tooling transforming (and eliminating) workflows. You will partner with leaders across GTM and G&A to surface high-impact opportunities, architect intelligent solutions, and deliver measurable gains in productivity, output quality, and the experiences we deliver to our customers and employees. You will define what "AI-native operations" looks like inside a high-growth B2B SaaS company—well before most companies have even started asking the question. This is a high visibility role and will involve daily contact with the CEO, Chief of Staff, Chief Revenue Officer, and other members of the BuildOps Executive Leadership Team (ELT). 

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Embed within internal business functions, including Revenue, RevOps, Customer Success, Customer Support, Finance, People, and Talent, to develop a deep, firsthand understanding of current workflows, pain points, and decision-making processes 
• Conduct structured discovery, shadowing teams, interviewing stakeholders, and mapping end-to-end processes, to identify where AI can eliminate, redesign, or dramatically accelerate work 
• Reimagine workflows from first principles rather than automating existing steps; challenge assumptions about what requires human involvement and what doesn't 
• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered automations, agents, and internal tools that reduce time spent on repetitive, low-value-add tasks while improving the quality and consistency of outputs 
• Integrate large language models, agentic frameworks, and automation platforms into production-grade internal workflows with appropriate guardrails, error handling, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints 
• Measure everything: establish baselines before intervention, track adoption and usage patterns post-deployment, and quantify productivity impact in terms of hours saved, error rates reduced, and cycle times compressed 
• Serve as a trusted advisor to functional leaders on what AI can and cannot do for their teams; translate business problems into technical solutions and technical constraints into business language 
• Stay abreast of the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape (e.g., LLM capabilities, orchestration frameworks, RPA-to-AI convergence, no-code/low-code platforms) and calibrate our internal stack accordingly 
• Build reusable patterns, templates, and playbooks so that successful automations in one function can be adapted and scaled across others 
• Collaborate closely with the engineering and product organizations to ensure internal automation efforts align with our broader technology strategy and do not create shadow IT risk 

QUALIFICATIONS 

• 5+ years of professional experience building automations, intelligent workflows, or AI-powered solutions in a business context—whether that foundation was in robotic process automation, software engineering, solutions engineering, or applied AI 
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-technical business teams: you have spent meaningful time understanding how people actually work before designing what to build 
• Hands-on experience with modern AI tooling, including large language models (e.g., Claude, GPT), prompt engineering, and at least one orchestration or agentic framework (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI, n8n, or similar) 
• Strong scripting and integration skills with the ability to connect APIs, build data pipelines, and stand up end-to-end workflows in production—not just prototypes
• Track record of automating processes that previously required human judgment—not just rules-based tasks, but work involving unstructured data, natural language inputs, or contextual decision-making
• Process-oriented mindset: you naturally decompose complex workflows into discrete steps, identify bottlenecks, and think in terms of inputs, outputs, and handoffs
• Comfort operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment; you don't wait to be told what to build — you go find the highest-leverage problem and propose a solution
• Excellent communication skills: you can present a business case to the CEO, C-suite executives, or VPs, run a discovery session with an ops team, and write clear documentation for a workflow you've built
• Experience in B2B SaaS, vertical software, or a similarly complex operational environment is a strong plus
• Familiarity with process mining, workflow analytics, or structured methodologies for identifying automation candidates (e.g., lean, six sigma, or consulting-style process improvement) is a plus
