Real-time sports betting data platform with ML-driven threat detection
LSports operates a real-time sports data pipeline serving sportsbooks globally, built on Python, PyTorch, Kafka, and GCP infrastructure. The stack reveals an ML-heavy engineering organization: scikit-learn, PyTorch, and RAG-based systems sit alongside rate-limiting and bot-detection layers, while active projects span customer-facing ML solutions and high-scale Kubernetes orchestration. Hiring is engineering-focused (8 of 11 open roles) at senior and lead levels, with concurrent investment in establishing an L&D function from scratch—signaling rapid scaling paired with internal retention challenges.
