Your Role
We’re hiring a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Core Video & Data team, where quality work supports the platform athletes and coaches rely on to train, compete, and improve. 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 center of Hudl's platform. The systems you build won't support just one product or one sport, they'll become shared capabilities used across Hudl's ecosystem, powering experiences for teams, athletes and fans around the world.
As the Senior QA, you’ll;
- Shape our quality strategy: You will use your customer and system understanding to build a risk-based testing approach tailored to our video and data platform architecture. You will measure quality to help define when a project is truly complete and prove your improvements with real, data-backed results.
- Lead quality in your squad: As an integral part of a cross-functional team across Engineering, Product, Design, and Scrum, you will guide quality-focused conversations in sprint ceremonies. You will partner with stakeholders to explain how defects affect users and advocate for the right priority on backlog defects before they enter a sprint.
- Test at scale and automate: Aligning our processes with development speed, you will make informed decisions on what, how, and when to automate versus when to rely on manual testing. You will lead large testing efforts, bringing your knowledge of our users into every test plan.
- Coach and elevate the team: You will use your technical and quality expertise to guide others and raise the team's overall bar. As the quality point person, you will influence and challenge teams to incorporate best practices in everything they do.

Time spent collaborating with your teammates in-office will be a regular part of how you work. We're currently considering applicants within commuting distance of London.

Our Role

Plus, every five years, we give you a paid sabbatical to unplug and recharge.
- 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.
