[Hiring] Senior Quality Assurance Engineer @Hudl

Role Description

We're seeking an experienced, automation-focused Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to join our North American Sports product team. This team develops insightful analytics and Recruit products for American Football, helping high-level coaches and analysts make faster, data-driven decisions on player performance and talent acquisition.

As the testing expert within your cross-functional squad, you'll own quality end-to-end — building the strategies and automation that ensure we're shipping software our users love. You'll drive quality discussions, challenge the team to maintain high standards, and be the advocate for reliability and performance at every stage of delivery.

As a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll:

• Lead quality initiatives.
• Build risk-based testing strategies tailored to your squad's architecture, drive quality discussions in scrum ceremonies, challenge defect priorities, and continuously look for ways to improve practices and keep your squad's quality processes ahead of the curve.
• Test across the stack.
• Design and execute tests spanning front-end UI, APIs, backend services, and data pipelines — validating transformations, service outputs, and complex logic at scale.
• Automate with intent.
• Make informed decisions about what, when, and how to automate. Use Playwright and scripting to build reliable, maintainable automated checks that keep pace with development.
• Mentor and grow others.
• Use your technical depth and quality instincts to coach teammates, raise the bar for quality standards across the team, and influence how the whole squad thinks about quality.
• Collaborate cross-functionally.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Design, contribute to hiring, and invest in your own professional development.

Qualifications

• Quality focus.
• Technical depth.
• A track record of leadership.
• Investigative rigour.
• User focus.
• AI-powered working.

Requirements

• 4+ years of software testing experience with hands-on expertise across the full stack — API testing, backend and data-heavy systems, and front-end validation — plus proficiency in automation frameworks like Playwright and languages like Python or TypeScript.
• Familiarity with load, stress, and scalability testing concepts and tools (e.g. JMeter) for validating API and backend performance.
• Passion for or experience in Basketball, American Football or Ice Hockey — whether as an athlete, coach, or fan — and an appreciation for the unique challenges of sports technology.
• A bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits

• Champion work-life harmony.
• Guarantee autonomy.
• Encourage career growth.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed.
• Support your mental and physical health.
• Cover your medical insurance.
• Contribute to your 401(K).
