Hawk-Eye Innovations (HEI) - Software Architect - Tracking

• The core of it is deep multi-camera computer vision. Camera calibration including intrinsics, extrinsics, distortion models, anti-wobble and bundle adjustment. Triangulation. 3D ball and pose estimation, skeletal tracking, continuous-time modelling, inverse kinematics. • On top of that: • Expert cross-platform C++ across Windows and Linux, x86 and ARM, with CMake and real performance profiling ability • Strong working knowledge of GPU inference (TensorRT, Triton) and ML pipelines (PyTorch, ONNX) • Proven experience running tracking at scale in AWS, on-premise and on edge devices • Hands-on use of AI coding agents and LLM orchestration to accelerate algorithm R&D and refactoring in large codebases • A working understanding of generative AI, synthetic data generation and where they genuinely help real-time CV • The parts that are harder to put in a bullet point. You can set architecture across many squads and sports and make pragmatic calls on reuse, cost and time to market. You write clearly: design documents, proposals with options, explanations a non-technical stakeholder can follow. You are comfortable in front of external engineering partners, which here means Sony, NVIDIA and AWS alongside sports leagues and federations. And you can size work honestly, state your confidence in it, and say what we should stop or delay. • WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT • Worth being direct about, because senior CV engineers are usually offered the other thing. • This is not a people management role. Nobody reports to you. Line management sits elsewhere and we are not planning to move it. • It is not project or delivery management either. Delivery Leads coordinate squad delivery across T&AO. You own technical direction and escalation, not sprint management. • You are not a Product Owner. Product sets the market and problem priorities, you work with them to define the solution. • You are not a Squad Tech Lead. Day-to-day technical leadership of squads sits with the Squad Tech Leads and Engineering Leads. You mentor them and step in on the complex and high-risk problems. • And you are not a gatekeeper for other value streams. You give them alignment and access to shared tracking IP. You do not own their roadmaps.
