Ever wondered how millions of sports fans worldwide get the right notification at the perfect moment during a live game, or how a match result instantly updates across every screen? Come build the systems that make it happen. We're looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team in Bangalore, India, that sits at the intersection of real time sports data and customer experience for one of the world's largest streaming platforms. You'll own and drive the technical vision for three critical areas: You'll lead the team building intelligent, real time notification systems that reach fans during the moments that matter most, think close game alerts, score updates, and live activity feeds across devices.

You'll work closely with product, design, and partner teams across multiple time zones to solve ambiguous, high impact problems.
