At Hudl, we build great teams. 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.

Your Role

We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers and/or engineering managers focused on our Fan and Club products. You'll lead the teams that power millions of tickets sold, millions of livestreaming hours, and Club sports programs and high school athletic departments nationwide. This role requires a high level of strategic thinking, technical leadership, and management expertise to drive our mission forward.

As a Senior Engineering Manager at Hudl, you will:

• Lead Division-Level Strategy: Shape and drive the strategy for your division, ensuring alignment with Hudl’s overall vision. Your strategic insights will help set the direction for multiple teams and ensure we stay ahead in the market.
• Manage and Develop Leaders: Foster a strong management culture by leading and mentoring Engineering Managers. You’ll be responsible for developing leadership capabilities, promoting best practices, and ensuring high performance across your division.
• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work closely with leaders from various disciplines to plan and deliver enhancements across your product suite. Your ability to integrate diverse perspectives will be key to driving innovation and ensuring our products meet the highest standards.
• Drive Technical Excellence: Serve as a technical leader, guiding your teams in the development of robust, scalable solutions on the cloud. Your deep technical knowledge will be crucial in solving complex challenges and driving engineering excellence.
• Champion Agentic/AI Engineering Practices: Drive acceleration of our software development lifecycle via impactful adoption of AI development tooling and patterns. We're investing heavily in the best tools available to dramatically increase how quickly we're able to get our products in the hands of customers.

We'd like to hire someone for this role who lives near our offices in Lincoln, Omaha or Lexington, but we're also open to remote candidates in Kansas City, Chicago, Austin, Dallas or Phoenix.

Must-Haves

• Experienced. You’ve worked on cloud technology and have built highly scalable software solutions, and you have a proven track record of scaling efficiently and handling large volumes of data.
• Strategic. You know how to set technical direction and guide your team towards successful project outcomes. You can ensure alignment with the company’s strategic goals by facilitating design sessions, creating architectural diagrams, and evaluating risks in our software and processes.
• A mentor. You can support the professional development of your team members through confidence‑building, sharing knowledge and providing guidance.
• Excellent communication skills. Your ability to articulate ideas clearly and work effectively with various stakeholders will be crucial in driving cross‑functional projects.

Nice‑to‑Haves

• Formal managerial experience. Skills like career coaching and performance management will enhance your ability to succeed as an Engineering Manager at Hudl.
• Professional background in relevant technologies. Experience with C#, React, React‑Native, MongoDB and AWS are a plus. Familiarity with adjacent languages, frameworks and services used at scale is also valuable.
• Experience in product partnership. A proven ability to collaborate effectively with Product Managers to shape and solidify the team’s roadmap will be an asset.

Our Role

• Champion work‑life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, 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 stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
• Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
• Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
