Director of Engineering - Performance and Insights

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.

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.
