FRONTEND SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Join Our Team as a Front-end Engineer at Hawk-Eye Innovations

Hi, I’m Steve Hardingson, Director of the Video and Graphics Value Stream at Hawk-Eye Innovations. We're on a mission to revolutionise sports technology, delivering real-time ball, player, and skeletal tracking solutions that power everything from automated officiating to cutting-edge broadcast graphics and fan engagement.

Our team sits at the intersection of live sports video and data visualization. We build the high-performance UI experiences that take complex tracking data and render it beautifully into real-time graphical overlays, interactive web feeds, and broadcast tools. We’re looking for a competent, autonomous Level 3 Frontend Engineer who can own features from end to end, deliver highly responsive graphic UIs, and bring strong technical execution to the team.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Mid-Weight Level 3 Frontend Engineer, you will be a core engine of our delivery pipeline, working with high autonomy to turn broadcast and graphical requirements into robust interfaces. Here’s what a typical week might involve:

• Producing code to a high standard that not only functions correctly but is built to be easily understood, scalable, and extended by other members of the team.

• Owning feature development for web-based graphics tools, broadcast control panels, and interactive overlays, ensuring elements render with low latency.

• Managing code releases safely across all of our environments, including Dev, Test, Staging, and Production.

• Using APIs efficiently to GET and POST complex tracking data structures, optimizing frontend performance so animations stay perfectly synced with live video streams.

• Showing excellent attention to detail in the final product, taking deep care and pride in visual layouts, rendering performance, and user experience—and ensuring others do the same.

• Sharing ideas and techniques across the development team, contributing to engineering discussions regarding web performance and modern styling.

• Identifying and calling out technical dependencies within your project tasks to keep broadcast delivery timelines on track.

What We Value

• At Hawk-Eye, our culture is built on openness, collaboration, and technical excellence. Here’s what we value in our Level 3 team members:

• Autonomy & Accountability – We trust you to pick up complex visual and technical tasks, handle them efficiently, and own the quality of your output.

• Pragmatism & Pride in Craft – Grounding your work in real-world application while maintaining an incredibly high bar for UI performance and pixel-perfect execution.

• Continuous Growth – Constantly refining your expertise in modern web performance, UI responsiveness, and live-data synchronization.

• Tech Stack and Skill Requirements

• As a Level 3 Engineer, you should have a solid, proven track record of building engaging, performance-driven UI experiences using:

• TypeScript & React (Strong, independent competency)

• Node.js

• HTML5, CSS3, and modern Responsive Web Architecture (experience with CSS transitions, animations, canvas, or SVG layout is a major plus)

• Deep understanding of web performance, browser vitals, and rendering optimization for smooth visual displays

• Advanced JSON data structures & clean API integration workflows

• Cypress (Proven experience with front-end testing and test-driven mentalities)

• NPM dependency management

• GIT usage and modern, collaborative code management workflows

• JIRA usage for tracking and managing your sprint tasks and tickets

• Ready to Make an Impact?

• If you’re excited about working with elite engineers, owning complex UI features, and seeing your work power graphics for some of the world’s biggest sporting events, then we’d love to meet you.

• Here at Hawk-Eye, you won’t just be building interfaces—you’ll be helping define the future of sports technology.

• Apply now and join us in shaping the next era of officiating, broadcast, and fan experience.
