Full-Stack Engineer

Role Purpose

As a Full‑Stack Engineer, you will play a key role in building the internal applications that power our football operation. You will join a dynamic, newly formed Football Systems team embedded within our Football Insights department, working on data‑heavy tools used daily by analysts, scouts, coaches, the medical team and football leadership. Your job is to build the software that makes complex data usable to influence crucial decisions in all departments of the club.

The department’s mission is to understand football better than our rivals and turn that understanding into decisions that win matches and trophies by building and maintaining a single source of truth, developing innovative quantitative models, and delivering tools and processes that embed timely, actionable insight into the Club’s critical football decisions.

This is a remote‑first role based in Europe, at one of the world's most prominent football clubs. We trust you to do great work and we care about output, not attendance. You will be the only Full‑Stack Engineer in the team, which means a high degree of autonomy over technical decisions and the freedom to shape how we build. You will build tools that directly inform decisions made at the highest level of the football operation.

You will have real influence over technical direction in a small team where your decisions matter. The data you work with is as rich and complex as it gets in professional sport.

• Design, build and maintain internal web applications across the full stack, from database to UI.
• Own the frontend experience on the products you work on, with a focus on usability for technical and non‑technical users alike.
• Build and maintain backend services and APIs that sit on top of our data platform.
• Write clean, well‑tested Type Script throughout and hold the bar for code quality in your team.

• Work directly with data engineers to understand data models, query patterns and pipeline outputs.
• Design and build efficient API layers that expose complex data in a way that is fast, reliable and easy to consume.
• Take ownership of cloud infrastructure for the applications you build
  , including deployment, monitoring and scaling.
• Contribute to CI/CD practices and ensure smooth, reliable delivery of new features.

• Work closely with analysts, coaches and scouts to understand how they work and discuss prototype ideas.
• Contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing within the Football Insights team.
• Participate in technical discussions and make decisions around architecture and tooling.

• Stay current with the evolving frontend and full‑stack ecosystem, including new framework capabilities, tooling, and architectural patterns.
• Actively seek out better ways to build – whether that's improved testing approaches, performance optimisation techniques, or smarter use of AI coding tools.
• Engage with the football analytics community to understand evolving data needs and technologies.

We are looking for a technically strong developer who takes pride in building software that domain experts want to use. The right person will be comfortable working independently in a remote‑first environment, communicates clearly with non‑technical colleagues, and is genuinely curious about the football context their work sits in. Ownership matters to us, from the first conversation with an analyst through to production.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
  , or equivalent practical experience.
• 4+ years of professional experience in full stack development.
• Production‑grade experience with a modern JavaScript framework such as React, Vue or Svelte, including performance considerations and component architecture.
• Strong Type Script skills across the frontend and into the backend where applicable.
• Backend development experience including REST and GraphQL API design.
• Experience with relational databases, PostgreSQL or MySQL preferred.
• Understanding of data security principles and experience handling sensitive…
