Frontend Developer - Data Platforms & Insights

Join Our Team as a Frontend Developer at Hawk-Eye Innovations

Hi, I’m Jon Frost, Frontend Discipline Lead supporting the Data Platforms and Insights 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 elite-level sports analytics.

Our Data Platforms and Insights team is responsible for turning billions of rows of tracking data into actionable intelligence. We build the high-performance, data-dense web platforms, dashboards, and analytical interfaces that leagues, clubs, and internal teams rely on to extract insights. We’re looking for a Level 2 Frontend Developer who is keen to learn, loves data visualization, and wants to build solid engineering fundamentals in a fast-paced environment.

What Your Day Will Look Like

As a Level 2 Frontend Developer, you'll work closely with senior engineers, data engineers, and UI/UX designers to develop your skills and ship clean code. Here’s what a typical week might involve:

• Producing clean, functional code that follows established team patterns and is easy for others to read and maintain.

• Building and refining UI components for dashboards, charts, and data tables to create smooth visual experiences for our users.

• Learning to integrate frontend applications with our data infrastructure, handling JSON data structures from our APIs.

• Assisting with code releases across our lower environments (Dev, Test, and Staging).

• Participating in code reviews and team discussions, actively seeking feedback to continuously improve your craft.

• Communicating clearly within the frontend team to ensure tasks are completed efficiently and dependencies are understood.
  

What We Value

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

• Eagerness to Learn – A genuine passion for developing your skills and pushing your frontend knowledge to the next level.

• Attention to Detail – Taking pride in the visual and functional quality of the components you build.

• Teamwork – Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset when working inside a fast-paced data team.
  

Tech Stack and Skill Requirements

We work at the cutting edge of sports tech. For a Level 2 role, you should bring foundational, hands-on experience in:

• TypeScript & React

• Node.js

• HTML5 and CSS3 (component layout and styling)

• Foundational understanding of JSON data structures

• Familiarity with testing concepts (exposure to Cypress is a plus)
