As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of this mission and will be providing technical leadership, driving innovation and delivering impactful solutions that our customers love. You will:
- Driving technical strategy and innovation. You’ll define and champion medium-to-long term system architecture, setting technical roadmaps and fostering a culture of experimentation and adoption of best practices, as well as directly contributing to the implementation of solutions.
- Owning complex, high-impact HP projects. You’ll work across multiple business units, ensuring high-quality delivery that aligns with business goals.
- Mentorship. By actively levelling up Engineers through guidance and collaboration, you’ll set the bar for engineering excellence.

Must-Haves- A product focus.
- You’ll define and champion medium-to-long term system architecture, setting technical roadmaps and fostering a culture of experimentation and adoption of best practices, as well as directly contributing to the implementation of solutions.
- Technical expertise. You’ve mastered full-stack engineering, leveraging cloud-based systems and championing practices like TDD and CI/CD to ensure high code quality and efficient delivery.
- Coaching experience. You know building excellent software is a team effort and you’re willing to collaborate with others to get to the best outcome—whether that means providing input in technical discussions, pitching in when a teammate needs a hand, or providing quality feedback in code review.
- Communication skills. You can easily and clearly express yourself verbally and in a written format. You’re able to convey complex technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
- Professional background. A previous role using TypeScript, React, GraphQL, C#, React, MongoDB and/or AWS would be an asset. Adjacent languages, frameworks and services used at scale are also relevant experiences.

- 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.
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.
