Full Job Description
Java Engineer - Backend Platform Hawk-Eye Innovations - Budapest Salary: HUF 1M - 1.5M per month Contract: Full-Time, Permanent Location: Hybrid - minimum 2 days per week in office, Budapest ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Java Engineer to join a backend squad at Hawk-Eye Innovations. You will be working on a platform that delivers real-time athlete performance data to sports organisations globally. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will contribute to core backend systems from day one, in a fast-paced, collaborative team that values ownership and quality. WHAT YOU’LL BUILD You will be a core contributor to a new backend platform being built from scratch. The work spans the full data journey - from ingestion at the edge through to storage, transformation, and delivery to end users. Key areas of focus include: - Low-latency data pipelines that ingest and process live sports tracking data, with strict latency requirements for time-critical outputs delivered to coaches and analysts in near real-time. - Event-driven processing using Kafka for streaming data and control messages between on-site devices and cloud services, handling both fast-path live outputs and asynchronous post-processing workflows via SQS and AWS Batch. - Cloud infrastructure on AWS, including Greengrass for edge-to-cloud orchestration, S3 for video and data storage, and Lambda for lightweight processing tasks. - Data transformation and aggregation layers that normalise tracking outputs, store them in a data lake, and make them available to downstream consumers via clean API contracts. - REST and WebSocket APIs that serve both a live data product for immediate consumption and an insights portal for historical analysis and performance comparison. - Observability and reliability - instrumentation, logging, and tracing are built in from the start, not bolted on. The platform needs to run 24/7 without on-site support. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Design, build, and maintain backend services and d
