More about this role
We're hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to tackle some of the toughest performance and scalability challenges in our Athlete Management System (AMS), owning the work from initial investigation through production. I'm Charbel Al Batal, Director, Engineering at Teamworks. AMS supports elite sports and military organizations around the world and runs on a Java application with roughly twenty years of history. We’re building on that foundation to support significantly larger workloads, making thoughtful improvements where they will have the greatest impact.
We’re expanding the AMS backend team as part of a major effort to improve performance, reliability, and scale. The work includes evolving a legacy data model, reworking asynchronous processing, and strengthening observability. We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys digging into complex, established systems and finding practical ways to improve them. You’ll have meaningful influence over how AMS evolves—particularly its data-access patterns, asynchronous architecture, containerization strategy, and approach to performance at scale—and customers will directly feel the impact of your work.
