Senior Computer Vision Engineer, Hawk-Eye Innovations

• If you enjoy hands-on C++ development, taking ownership of complex systems, and seeing your work used in real-world sporting environments, this could be a great fit
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (up to at least C++17)
• Solid understanding of multithreading and performance optimisation
• Experience with architectural and object-oriented design principles
• Experience writing testable, maintainable code
• Familiarity with Git and Visual Studio
• Working knowledge of Python

Desirable

• We’re looking for a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to join our Cricket Engineering team
• This role is about building, maintaining, and evolving production-grade computer vision systems that power our cricket tracking solutions — from elite international sport through to emerging, lower-cost platforms
• This is a senior, hands-on engineering role within the Cricket Solution Squad, working across the full cricket tracking ecosystem
• The focus is on CV-heavy engineering and system ownership, rather than pure research. You’ll be responsible for improving long-running production systems, modernising legacy platforms, and contributing to new capabilities that expand Hawk-Eye’s reach into new cricket markets
• You’ll work closely with experienced engineers in an agile, two-week sprint environment, tackling real engineering challenges that directly impact live and post-event cricket tracking
• While much of your time will be spent on C++ development, maintaining and improving our core tracking software, you’ll also have opportunities to:
• Work with SQL databases in AWS
• Develop serverless APIs in Python
• Contribute to supporting tools across the wider cricket ecosystem
• Over time, you’ll gain a deep, end-to-end understanding of how our cricket tracking platform operates and help shape its future direction
• You’ll work across the iHawk and cricket solution ecosystem, including:
• Building, extending, and modernising core cricket tracking software
• Developing and maintaining computer vision–heavy tracking components
• Integrating iHawk inputs and outputs into shared, cross-platform frameworks
• Taking ownership of legacy tracking applications, including systems processing ML outputs
• Updating and maintaining video encoding and processing pipelines
• Contributing to evolving cricket capabilities, such as automatic bowler detection
• Supporting low-cost tracking solutions (iHawk) using lower-quality camera inputs
• Owning improvements across multiple applications, with a focus on long-term quality
• Collaborating closely with engineering, product, and delivery teams
• Supporting testing and validation in real-world environments, including occasional travel
• Lead the design and implementation of components within cricket tracking systems
• Maintain and enhance existing software to modern engineering standards
• Take ownership of applications and contribute to the technical direction of the platform
• Collaborate across disciplines to deliver full lifecycle development
• Support field testing and live deployments where required
• Demonstrate curiosity, initiative, and a strong commitment to continuous learning
