Your Role

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Applied Machine Learning team and deliver new experiences and valuable insights to our coaches, athletes and fans across Hudl. You’ll drive game-changing initiatives that use cutting-edge computer vision and deep learning at scale to shape the future of sports, from professional teams to local high schools.

At Hudl, Engineering Managers:
  • Deliver for customers. You’ll independently manage your multidisciplinary team of 5 to 10 Engineers and Data Scientists, ensuring quarterly and annual goals are met while supporting their efforts to deliver high‑impact results for customers and the business.
  • Collaborate. You’ll work closely with other teams and leaders to deliver your projects in small increments, resolve your cross‑team dependencies, and ensure our products meet the highest standards.
  • Be the technical example. You’ll set high standards for architecture, code quality, and system health, while guiding your team in building resilient, cost‑effective solutions that contribute to Hudl’s long‑term success.
  • Cultivate an empowered environment. You’ll build and maintain an environment where your team is supported, engaged, and able to operate at their highest potential. You’ll optimize across technology, people and process to create a high‑performing, scalable team that consistently delivers results.
  • Hire and develop top talent. You’ll provide technical and career development guidance to Applied Scientists and Engineers across the organization.
Must‑Haves
  • Leadership experience. In previous roles, you’ve supported a team of 5–10 individual contributors to operate at their highest potential.
  • System expertise. You’ve built, maintained and monitored complex AI/ML models and systems in production at scale.
  • Strong technical proficiency. You have extensive experience in several of the following areas: machine vision (classical and deep learning), multi‑view geometry, GPU accelerators, inference on edge devices, LLM’s models, real‑time systems, and signal processing.
  • Communication skills. You have excellent verbal and written communication, with the ability to clearly convey complex technical concepts and trade‑offs across all levels of the organization and to cross‑functional stakeholders.
  • A proven track record. You know how to focus on products, delivering impactful AI/ML products through close collaboration with partners.
Nice‑to‑Haves
  • Sports industry experience. If you’ve used AI/ML in sports to generate data and/or create insights, that’s a plus.
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.
Inclusion at Hudl

Hudl is an equal opportunity employer. Through our actions, behaviors and attitude, we’ll create an environment where everyone, no matter their differences, feels like they belong.

We offer resources to ensure our employees feel safe bringing their authentic selves to work, including employee resource groups and communities. But we recognize there’s ongoing work to be done, which is why we track our efforts and commitments in annual inclusion reports.

We also know imposter syndrome is real and the confidence gap can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply—we’d love to hear from you.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
