Hi, I’m James Sharam, Head of Computer Vision at Hawk-Eye Innovations. I’m looking for a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to join our growing team. This is a key role focused on real-time skeletal, ball and game object tracking for multiple sports. A strong background in mathematics and modelling is encouraged. If that kind of technical challenge excites you, I’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Computer Vision Engineer – Algorithms to join our Computer Vision team at Hawk-Eye Innovations.
This role is suited to an experienced engineer who enjoys owning complex algorithmic systems and seeing them operate in real-world, production environments.
The role is strongly algorithm-focused, with an emphasis on accuracy, performance, robustness, and system-level thinking, spanning modern C++, multi-camera geometry, cross-platform deployments, and cloud-enabled pipelines.
What You’ll Work On
- Designing, developing, and improving ball and player tracking algorithms using multi-camera systems
- Owning and evolving multi-view geometry solutions for accurate, court-wide tracking
- Developing robust approaches to occlusion handling, recovery, and failure modes in fast-paced sports scenarios
- Enhancing and maintaining mature, long-running computer vision systems used in live production
- Optimising algorithms for performance and reliability, including CPU and GPU considerations
- Contributing to cross-platform systems, ensuring algorithms run consistently across environments
- Supporting the integration of algorithms into cloud-enabled and distributed systems
- Working in an agile environment to deliver robust, production-ready solutions at scale
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development and improvement of computer vision algorithms from concept through to production
- Design, implement, test, and validate complex algorithmic features
- Take ownership of algorithmic components and drive their long-term maintainability and technical quality
- Collaborate closely with engineers across computer vision, tracking, tooling, and platform teams
- Contribute to technical discussions around architecture, performance, scalability, and deployment
- Identify weaknesses in existing approaches and propose pragmatic improvements
- Share progress, decisions, and learnings with the wider team
- Support and mentor other engineers through code reviews and technical guidance
Skills, Knowledge, and Experience
We’re looking for someone with:
- Strong commercial experience developing computer vision algorithms
- Advanced knowledge of modern C++, working within large, production codebases
- Strong understanding of performance optimisation, including CPU and GPU workloads
- Solid experience with image processing, geometry, and multi-camera systems
- Experience working with cross-platform systems and real-world deployment environments
- Familiarity integrating algorithmic components into cloud-based or distributed systems
- Strong debugging skills and the ability to reason about complex system behaviour
- Confident use of Git and Visual Studio in collaborative engineering environments
Nice to have (but not essential):
- Experience with CUDA or GPU acceleration
- Awareness of concurrency, networking, or operating system concepts
- Experience deploying or supporting algorithms in cloud environments
- Interest in machine learning techniques and related libraries
