Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Hudl is a company that builds software powering smart cameras deployed on sports fields worldwide. They are seeking a Lead Engineer to own a core technical system of their camera platform, focusing on automatic capture, device connectivity, and video pipelines. The role involves setting the technical direction, resolving dependencies, and ensuring the reliability of the system.
Responsibilities
- Own a system end-to-end. Define and deliver the technical roadmap for a multi-phase area, refining as it evolves and resolving cross-group dependencies before they become blockers
- Prevent fires, not just fight them. Preemptively identify and resolve technical risks. When incidents do hit, you drive urgency and own resolution within your domain
- Proactively make the system better. You see operational pain and tech debt as design feedback. Build the tooling, libraries, and runbooks that make it go away for everyone
- Raise the bar. Through code reviews, design reviews, and mentorship, you set the standard for quality and level up the engineers around you
- Ship reliably at scale. You roll out major features with monitoring, telemetry, and failure domains understood up front as a complete system
- Think in terms of process and systems. You look beyond shipping code to iterate on team workflows and improve processes to drive better outcomes
Skills
- Autonomous systems ownership. You've owned a production technical system end-to-end — set its direction, delivered against a multi-month roadmap, and made independent calls under open-ended requirements
- Distributed systems depth. You understand why systems break at scale, not just how to patch them. State, consistency, failure modes, and unreliable networks are familiar territory
- Hardware or IoT (Internet of Things) experience. You've built software that talks to physical devices — cameras, sensors, embedded systems — and you respect the gap between cloud assumptions and hardware reality
- Operational ownership. You've led production incident response and you own the reliability of what you ship — monitoring, runbooks, and toil reduction are part of how you work, not someone else's job
- You lift the team. You set the quality bar through reviews, mentor less-experienced engineers, and have driven cross-group initiatives that needed influence without authority
- AI-augmented development. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar used as a force multiplier — with the judgment to evaluate output quality, not just generate it. You look at this new domain as more than a code generator, and understand the possibilities of this unlocking better autonomy, problem solving, and the way we all work together
- Experience being a change agent. You come into teams and systems with the goal of understanding the state of the world, while constantly looking for ways to move the ball forward and leaving things better than you found it
- Experience in AWS IoT Core. Device communication or fleet monitoring at scale is a plus
- Experience using Video pipeline tools. GStreamer, HLS, WebRTC, or similar streaming and video technologies
- Our stack. .NET Core, Python, MongoDB/DocDB, Redis, and RabbitMQ
- Field hardware support. Software running on real-world hardware — firmware updates, remote diagnostics, connectivity triage
