Veo is a global leader in AI-based sports camera technology. Our innovative, fully automatic camera solution enables sports teams to record matches and training sessions without a camera operator. We’re democratizing the world of sports by granting video analysis for teams on all levels—a privilege that used to be only for the few. More than 40,000 clubs in 90+ countries record their games every week.

But what truly sets us apart? Our people. We’re a diverse group of innovative thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers who believe in delivering an incredible product—and having fun while doing it.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer (API) at Veo, you’ll join a newly established team focused on building and evolving our API capabilities. You’ll be among the first engineers shaping this area, playing a key role in laying the technical foundations that allow external partners to integrate with Veo’s platform in a reliable and scalable way.

You’ll report to an Engineering Manager and will be based in our Berlin office, working closely with other engineers and a Technical Product Manager. Together, you’ll design and build backend systems and APIs that sit at the core of Veo’s platform, making thoughtful architectural decisions and contributing to a product area that is important to how Veo grows and connects with the wider sports ecosystem.

What You Will Do

Design, implement and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs as part of Veo’s Public API initiative.

Build production-quality systems primarily using Rust and Python, contributing hands-on code from design through deployment.

Shape API design and standards, with a focus on clarity, reliability and long-term maintainability.

Contribute to architectural decisions around how public APIs integrate with Veo’s broader platform.

Work in cloud-native, Kubernetes-based environments, deploying and operating services in production.

Collaborate closely with the Engineering Manager, Product and other engineers to scope work and plan delivery.

Review code and contribute to maintaining a high bar for quality, testing, and operational excellence.

Support the development of reusable patterns and clear documentation for API usage.

Participate in improving development practices, including CI/CD pipelines and agile ways of working.

What You Could Bring

Strong experience as a backend software engineer, with a proven track record of building and shipping production systems.

Hands-on experience designing and working with APIs, ideally including public or externally consumed APIs.

Experience working with Python, Rust or similar backend languages

Familiarity with AWS infrastructure, Docker and Kubernetes, or experience operating services in comparable environments.

A solid understanding of API design principles, service-to-service communication, and system integration.

Ability to act as a technical sparring partner on architectural and design topics.

A high standard of work and a collaborative mindset, comfortable giving- and receiving constructive feedback.

Clear ideas around site reliability engineering (SRE)
