The posting

DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING - PERFORMANCE & INSIGHTS

Location: UK or Hungary - Hybrid, preferred 2 days per week in Basingstoke or London / Hungary, Budapest

About the Role

Performance & Insight is the part of HawkEye that engineers data-driven digital products built by small sport-focused squads that move at a pace only agentic development makes possible.

As Director of Engineering, you are responsible for building the organisation that makes Hawk-Eye's Performance & Insight products easy to build, scale, maintain.

Your mission is to build a lean organisation with AI at the heart of it, capable of scaling through technology. Your organisation addresses the needs of top-tier sport clients - clubs, leagues, federations - seeking access to data and insights to unlock the next level of performance.

You will lead and manage a ~50 people strong organisation, including web/mobile/data/cloud engineering. You will aim to scale the organisation and productivity with AI delegation patterns wherever possible.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership and Management

- Build and lead a high-calibre Product & Engineering function with strong technical credibility and operational judgement.

- Hire, develop, and align engineering leaders and specialists across sports and disciplines within P&I

- Foster a culture of accountability, clarity, calm execution, and continuous improvement.

- Act as a senior internal leader who can bring structure to complexity without becoming bureaucratic.

- Live by and advocate Hawk-Eye’s values: Be Owners, Be Brave, Be Inclusive.

ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND SHARED WAYS OF WORKING

- Create practical standards to enable strong reliability, platform quality, operational readiness, and shared data governance across the whole of Hawk-Eye’s engineering.

- Balance central consistency with enough flexibility for different product and domain needs.

- Partner with product and engineering leaders so shared platform and data standards improve delivery speed.

OPERATIONAL LEADERSHIP

- Identify systemic reliability risks, fragile dependencies, and operational bottlenecks early, and drive resolution.

- Introduce visible service health, ownership, and numeric baselines for the critical systems under your remit.

- Use major tournaments, flagship customers, and real operating pressure as proving grounds for improved resilience and trust.

- Transition the P&I organisation to structured and disciplined operational management.

ENABLING AI-READY FOUNDATIONS

- Build the platform, data, and governance conditions required for AI-enabled software delivery to scale safely.

- Ensure shared services, modular interfaces, and governed data access create the right foundations for future AI acceleration.

- Provide leadership for internal engineering enablement through the Developer Experience function.

- Define, build, and own Hawk-Eye’s internal Platform-as-a-Service.

ABOUT YOU

You want to make a difference in the world of sports, and HawkEye is your vehicle to do it.

You are a strong technology leader with real experience building data-driven product capabilities in organisations where reliability, scale, and coordination matter. You join HawkEye with the know-how in creating the ownership, standards, operating discipline, and trust that make good engineering practices useful in practice.

You are credible with senior engineers, comfortable in operationally demanding environments, and able to move between cloud infrastructure, data foundations, organisational design, and delivery reality without losing the plot. You know how to centralise what must become shared capability without hollowing out the autonomy and judgement of teams that build on top of it.

You care about engineering quality, but you care just as much about business consequence. You know that reliability protects customer trust, governed data creates leverage, and shared standards only matter when they make the organisation materially better at delivering outcomes.

We employ, retain, promote and treat all employees and applicants fairly based on skills, qualifications and professional experience. Our commitment is to provide a respectful and inclusive environment where people can contribute, develop and succeed.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
