What the job involves
Hi, I'm James Sharam, Head of Computer Vision at Hawk-Eye Innovations. I'm looking for a Principal Computer Vision Engineer to join our Cricket Solution Squad
This is a high-impact role focused on building a brand new cricket tracking system. You'll play a key role in shaping the architecture, technical direction and delivery of a next-generation tracking platform used in live sports environments
We're looking for someone who can operate at both a deep technical level and a system-wide level, bringing strong C++ expertise, computer vision knowledge and leadership capability to guide a small, high-performing team
A strong background in mathematics and modelling is encouraged. If you enjoy solving complex problems, influencing technical direction, and building scalable systems, I'd love to hear from you
We're looking for a Principal Computer Vision Engineer to take ownership of a new, production-grade cricket tracking system and help define how it is designed, built and scaled
This role goes beyond implementation. It's about setting technical standards, shaping architecture, guiding a small squad, and ensuring systems are robust, scalable and production-ready
The role is strongly algorithm-focused, with an emphasis on accuracy, performance and system-level thinking, spanning modern C++, multi-camera geometry and real-time tracking systems
Leading the design and development of a brand new cricket tracking system
Owning tracking pipelines across the full system
Defining and evolving system architecture
Driving robustness, accuracy and performance in live sports environments
Working closely with stakeholders, including senior leadership, to align technical delivery with product goals
Supporting integration into broader tracking, broadcast and platform systems
Exploring future capabilities including AR and broadcast enhancements
Lead the development of computer vision systems from concept through to production
Set technical direction and standards across algorithmic and engineering approaches
Own system architecture and ensure long-term scalability, maintainability and quality
Guide and support a small squad (approx. 5-8 engineers), helping unblock and mentor team members
Translate business and product requirements into technical roadmaps and delivery plans
Drive architectural discussions around performance, scalability and deployment
Act as a technical escalation point for complex challenges
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders
