About The Position

We’re hiring a hands-on Computer Vision Engineer to build and improve sports video intelligence models—detection, tracking, pose, event understanding, and multi-view reasoning. You’ll spend most of your time on CV research + applied modeling (experiments, architectures, training, evaluation), and partner with data/platform teammates to ensure your work can ship reliably. This role is CV-first. A bend toward scalable pipelines / MLOps is a plus, not a requirement. Level (mid vs senior) depends on scope ownership and how independently you can drive results.

Requirements

• Strong applied CV experience with hands-on model development (not just running existing repos).
• Solid PyTorch skills: training loops, debugging, data pipelines for vision workloads, DDP basics.
• Comfort with video CV fundamentals: occlusion, identity switches, temporal consistency, calibration, domain shift.
• Strong Python engineering and a bias toward measurable outcomes.

Nice To Haves

• Sports video CV or adjacent domains (multi-agent tracking, pose, crowded scenes).
• Experience with video tooling (FFmpeg), efficient dataset formats (WebDataset/shards), or streaming/batching to GPUs.
• MLOps/production experience: model packaging, CI for training/eval, serving (Triton/TorchServe), monitoring.

Responsibilities

• Build and train CV models for sports video: player/ball detection, multi-object tracking, pose/keypoints, event/action recognition, identity association (re-ID).
• Own the experimentation loop: hypotheses → ablations → error analysis → measurable improvements.
• Design and maintain evaluation: task-appropriate metrics (e.g., MOT metrics, keypoint accuracy, event precision/recall), dataset slices, and failure taxonomy.
• Improve data efficiency: augmentations, sampling strategies, handling label noise, weak/self-supervision where helpful.
• Prototype and iterate on modern architectures (e.g., transformer-based detection/tracking, temporal models, multi-task setups).
• Collaborate on dataset + labeling design: formats, schemas, tooling, versioning.
• Help productionize models: packaging, batch/stream inference patterns, throughput/latency tradeoffs, robustness checks.
• Add lightweight quality gates: reproducibility, automated eval, regression detection.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary and Bonus Plan
• Comprehensive health insurance plan
• Retirement savings plan (401k) with company match
• Generous paid holiday schedule - 13 in total including Monday after the Super Bowl
• Remote working environment
