Software Engineer - Core Video & Data

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join our Core Data team in London.

This team builds the systems that power how Hudl understands sport at scale. From identifying players and teams across thousands of leagues to processing the moments that become highlights, stats and analysis, our services sit at the centre of Hudl’s platform.

You’ll work on the Global Sports Library (GSL), the backbone that connects identities, metadata and game context across Hudl products. That means designing APIs, distributed services and large-scale data pipelines that help ensure every product at Hudl is operating from the same understanding of the game.

The work is backend-heavy and deeply technical: data modeling, entity resolution, ingestion pipelines, consistency challenges, scalability and platform design. The systems you build won’t just support one product or one sport, they’ll become shared capabilities used across the company.

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office in London.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll:

• Collaborate across disciplines. You’ll work closely with a cross-functional team of engineers, quality analysts, product managers and designers to build foundational data tools for the best of the best in sports.
• Deliver backend-heavy features. Your team has the autonomy to build and maintain the GSL, ensuring market teams have access to reliable, comprehensive data infrastructure. We iterate rapidly and deploy changes to our products hundreds of times a day.
• Propose new solutions. You’ll have the opportunity to solve complex technical challenges within the Core Data domain and provide guidance to less experienced engineers.
• Thrive on the front lines. You’ll build pipelines and libraries that power every feature delivered to coaches and athletes, getting firsthand experience with how our data impacts the game.

Must-Haves

• Strong technical proficiency. You have at least three years of experience in engineering, specifically within backend-heavy or data-heavy environments.
• Cloud experience. You’ve spent time working with cloud-based systems and services and are a strong advocate for TDD and CI/CD.
• Experience navigating uncertainty. You’re comfortable taking on ambiguous work with many possible implementation options and identifying the one that pragmatically balances quality and immediate customer value.
• A collaborative, team-first mindset. You understand that building great software is a team effort and you’re always willing to pitch in or provide quality feedback in code reviews.
• Curiosity. You enjoy picking up new technologies and domains on the job. The idea of working across foundational layers of our stack and multiple products energizes you.

Nice-to-Haves

• Tech stack knowledge. Professional background in C#, GraphQL, Elastic, MongoDB and AWS is ideal.
• Data infrastructure background. Experience working in environments with significant data scale and complex infrastructure needs.
• Familiarity with hybrid teams. You’ve worked with hybrid or remote teams before and can adapt quickly to our international working environment.
