Meet Our Team:

Key brands include Bleacher Report, Eurosport and TNT Sports. WBD Sports offers comprehensive coverage of major sports events — the Olympics in Europe, tennis Grand Slams and road cycling Grand Tours (e.g., Tour de France) — across platforms including TV and streaming services such as Max and Discovery+.

Bleacher Report (B/R) is one of the most recognised digital sports brands in the U.S., serving millions of fans across NBA, NFL, MLB and more. B/R is a real-time, mobile-first sports experience — combining sports messaging and community, live stream clips, editorial articles, Gamecast, live scores and schedules — powered by a federated GraphQL platform, event-driven microservices, and native mobile and web clients. As a Principal Engineer on the Bleacher Report team, you will own the end-to-end technical direction of these fan-facing experiences and the platform behind them.
Roles & Responsibilities:
We are looking for a hands-on Principal Fullstack Engineer to lead the architecture, design and delivery of Bleacher Report's fan-facing products and the services that power them — from the GraphQL platform and real-time data pipelines down to the native mobile and web clients. This is a high-impact technical leadership role that bridges business needs and engineering execution across the full stack.
Own end-to-end architecture across the stack — from client applications (iOS, Android/TV, Web) through the federated GraphQL API layer to the backend microservices, data stores and streaming pipelines that power scores, schedules, Gamecast, articles, clips and messaging.
Drive the design and evolution of a federated GraphQL platform (Apollo Federation v2 / Apollo Gateway), defining subgraph boundaries, schema governance, entity ownership and versioning strategy across many teams.
Architect low-latency, high-throughput, event-driven systems for real-time sports data (live scores, play-by-play, notifications) using Kafka, message queues and caching, designed for game-day traffic spikes.
Set the technical direction for client-facing experiences and collaborate closely with mobile (Swift/iOS, Kotlin/Android & TV) and web engineers on API contracts, performance and data-fetching patterns.
