Real-time sports data platform serving 100 million fans across 60+ properties
Livesport aggregates live sports scores and information across 35+ sports to a global audience of 100 million monthly users, operating independently from Prague since 2006. The engineering team is actively rewriting microservices from JavaScript to TypeScript and migrating infrastructure to proprietary hardware—a costly but deliberate shift toward control and performance. Combined with concurrent projects in data analytics, content translation, and automation, the hiring mix signals engineering-led modernization of a scaled but legacy-heavy platform.
Livesport operates 60+ web and mobile properties (anchored by Flashscore.com) that deliver real-time sports scores, match data, and live updates to 100 million fans globally. The company processes, analyzes, and distributes sports data across 35+ disciplines independently, using in-house teams and proprietary technology rather than third-party data feeds. Founded in 2006 in Prague and fully self-funded, Livesport maintains sole control over product development and infrastructure. The organization spans 51–200 employees across engineering, finance, marketing, and support, with active hiring concentrated in mid- and senior-level engineering roles.
