We hire the best of the best to ensure you’re working with people you can constantly learn from. You’re trusted to get your work done your way while testing the limits of what’s possible and what’s next. We work hard to provide a culture where everyone feels supported, and our employees feel it—their votes helped us become one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces. We think of ourselves as the team behind the team, supporting the lifelong impact sports can have: the lessons in teamwork and dedication; the influence of inspiring coaches; and the opportunities to reach new heights. That’s why we help teams from all over the world see their game differently. Our products make it easier for coaches and athletes at any level to capture video, analyze data, share highlights and more. Ready to join us? ### Your Role We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to join our Global Football and Rugby (GFR) division, overseeing two squads building the data infrastructure layer that feeds our customer-facing products like Statsbomb and Insight, flagship analytics products for global football. ### As an Engineering Manager, you’ll: - Lead with technical excellence. You’ll work closely with engineers to ensure we’re building high-quality, scalable software the right way, being involved in architecture and system design. - Drive product delivery. You’ll partner with senior product managers and QA to understand business value, negotiate trade-offs, and oversee the successful shipment of new features in a fast-paced environment. - Empower your team. You’ll manage approximately eight engineers across two squads, focusing on their growth and wellness while building a high-performing, healthy team culture. - Champion AI-first engineering. We’re heavily invested in an AI-first mindset, and you’ll encourage your team to use AI tools and modern tech to stay ahead of the curve. - Enable other squads to build on top of you. This role succeeds when other Hudl squads move faster because of what your team builds. You'll measure success by the number of squads migrated and capabilities unlocked. For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office in London. But with our flexible work policy, there aren't any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office. ### Must-Haves - Experienced. You have 3+ years of experience in engineering management, ideally with a background as an individual contributor or tech lead on platform, API or data infrastructure teams. Product EM experience is valued; this role requires platform depth alongside it. - API-first. You have deep experience designing and evolving APIs for multiple customers, either internal or external. You understand why post-adoption changes are expensive and how to design to avoid them. - Technically grounded. You have a strong technical background and are comfortable architecting complex software, specifically using C#, TypeScript, AWS, and PostgreSQL, GraphQL, with comfort across data-lake patterns. - Credible engineering leader. You can build immediate trust with engineers through your technical knowledge, helping them navigate complex paths and system designs. - Forward-thinking. You’re genuinely excited about AI-augmented engineering, not as a productivity tool but as a capability shift. You are building for AI-native consumers so you should operate like one. ### Nice-to-Haves - Broad tech stack. Experience with additional languages or tools beyond our core stack is valued. - Domain passion. An interest in football analytics and working with products that serve elite clubs like Manchester City F.C. and Liverpool F.C. ### Our Role - Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time above any required statutory leave, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too. - Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. - Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing. - Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech you need to do your best work. - Support your wellbeing. Depending on location, we offer medical and retirement benefits for employees—but no matter where you’re located, we have resources like our Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support your mental health. ### Compensation The base salary range for this role is displayed below—starting salaries will typically fall near the middle of this range. We make compensation decisions based on an individual's experience, skills and education in line with our internal pay equity practices. This role will also be eligible for a long-term incentive (LTI) award. Any bonuses awarded are based on individual and company performance paid at Hudl's discretion. ### Base Salary Range £76,000—£127,000 GBP ### Inclusion at Hudl Hudl is an equal opportunity employer. Through our actions, behaviors and attitude, we’ll create an environment where everyone, no matter their differences, feels like they belong. We offer resources to ensure our employees feel safe bringing their authentic selves to work, including employee resource groups and communities. But we recognize there’s ongoing work to be done, which is why we track our efforts and commitments in annual inclusion reports. We also know imposter syndrome is real and the confidence gap can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply—we’d love to hear from you. ### Privacy Policy Hudl Applicant and Candidate Privacy Policy **Live in Hudl’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role. We remove it as soon as it disappears at source. ## More jobs like this - SY [Solutions Engineering Manager](https://gurify.com/job/solutions-engineering-manager-at-synthesia-b65088c1375e) Synthesia · London · last week - SY [Solutions Engineering Manager](https://gurify.com/job/solutions-engineering-manager-at-synthesia-4ae61f413367) Synthesia · London · last week - FL [Engineering Manager](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-at-flowtraders-9cee24a4899f) Flowtraders · London · 4 days ago - MO [Software Engineering Manager](https://gurify.com/job/software-engineering-manager-at-moonpig-34f4ae6e7b21) Moonpig · London · last week - EL [Engineering Manager - DevOps & AI Platform](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-devops-ai-platform-at-elliptic-542e7113af20) Elliptic · London, United Kingdom · last week - SP [Engineering Manager - Experimentation](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-experimentation-at-spotify-bd607e279b1e) Spotify · London · 2 weeks ago ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Global Football \u0026 Rugby","description":"\u003Cp\u003EAt Hudl, we build great teams.
