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’re hiring a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to join one of our cross‑functional product teams in our Athlete Performance group. These squads are focused on building cutting‑edge solutions and devices for athletes and sports teams that directly impact how they train, compete and achieve peak performance, supporting key products like WIMU and Hudl Signal, plus new greenfield projects as we expand.

As a Senior QA Engineer, you’ll:

• Improve quality. You’ll drive measurable improvements in product quality and delivery speed. You’ll empower teams to solve tough challenges, bringing in proven practices that enhance quality and accelerate development.
• Collaborate. You’ll be an integral part of a cross‑functional team, collaborating closely with coworkers across Engineering, Product, Design and Scrum, all to ensure the delivery of high‑quality products.
• Strategise. You’ll use your customer and system understanding to create risk‑based testing approaches and plans that focus on user experiences. Overall, you’ll ensure our products meet and exceed user expectations.
• Automate. By aligning our processes with development speed, you’ll make informed decisions on what, how and when to automate.
• Coach. You’ll use your technical and quality expertise to guide others on the team to raise their bar. As the quality point person, you’ll influence and challenge teams to incorporate quality best practices in everything they do.

For this role, we’re currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office in London. But with our flexible work policy, there aren’t any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must‑Haves

• A focus on quality. You understand quality in the big picture and strive to use what you know to improve quality and velocity.
• Technical know‑how. You have in‑depth experience with testing desktop and web applications. Deep knowledge of automation and its industry‑recognised principles. You’ve implemented the test pyramid and have experience working with developers and QA to shift testing left.
• A customer focus. You think critically about user experience and ensure our testing approach adapts to match those workflows.

Nice‑to‑Haves

• Experience with Playwright. As this is one of the key frameworks we use, commercial experience with it is a plus.
• Familiarity with hardware. You’ve had experience working with relevant hardware products, such as wearable devices.

Our Role

• 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.
