About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior 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
