Champion Data has an exciting opportunity for a capable and motivated Developer (Mid-Level) to join our engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who has moved beyond graduate or junior level and is looking to deepen their technical capability while contributing meaningfully to production systems used in elite sport.

You’ll take ownership of well-defined components, contribute to team discussions and technical decisions, and steadily grow towards greater autonomy and responsibility. This is a full-time permanent role based in the United Kingdom. We operate a hybrid model, with developers typically spending 1–2 days per week in our central London office or client locations to support collaboration and team connection. The role reports into the Technology Leadership team (via the CTO) and works closely with senior developers, product managers, and delivery leads.

• Problem Solving: Investigate and resolve technical issues within your area of responsibility, escalating more complex problems when needed.
• Operational Support: Assist with supporting and maintaining production systems, including diagnosing issues and contributing to fixes under guidance.
• Documentation: Contribute to technical documentation to support maintainability, onboarding, and knowledge sharing.
