THE COMPANY

Hawk-Eye Innovations develops, markets, and delivers the most sophisticated officiating tool in sport. Beginning with tennis and cricket in 2001, Hawk-Eye continues to diversify and grow into new sports and new applications through its commitment to new ideas and cutting edge technology. It is accurate, reliable, and practical, with fans around the globe now demanding it to be a part of serious sports events.

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Europe, and are a fundamental part of officiating and broadcasting in over 20 international sports across our ball tracking, video replay and skeletal tracking products.

If you like a challenge, innovating, and developing disruptive technology, you’ll love working here.


THE TEAM

This is a unique opportunity to work within our C++ Engineering team, developing software solutions that are at the cutting edge of sports technology and officiating. You will be joining a team specialising in a variety of disciplines including computer vision, algorithm development, computer graphics and real-time video streaming. We work alongside an excellent product team, which allows us to focus our efforts on writing code and not spending lots of time on requirements gathering and testing.

In the SMART (Synchronised Multi-Angle Replay Technology) team we create and support a wide range of products. These are all built on a common platform for ingesting video and audio from broadcast cameras at a stadium, serving up that data across a network and then playing it back, often in a location far from where the sport is taking place.

The most well known product that uses this system is VAR (Video Assistant Referee) in football. Our software has been successfully used across all of the top leagues to allow referees based in a single place to quickly analyse incidents from matches across a country.

We are also working on a product called Hawk-Eye Replay, which allows replay operators to view many cameras during a live sports broadcast, and then quickly get replay clips out to air. This is used across a variety of sports, most notably in the Emmy award winning coverage of the Masters golf tournament in 2019, where our software was used to power the back end of a website where users could view a video of every single shot hit during the tournament.


YOU

Your impact:

  • You will be responsible for shaping the design and implementation of a wide range of officiating and broadcast tools used at major sporting events worldwide;
  • You will be involved in the entire life cycle of projects, from the initial design up to testing in the field. This will sometimes include the option to travel to sporting events to experience our products working in the real world in person.

Other responsibilities include:

  • Mentoring junior developers;
  • Helping to ensure that we maintain high standards across the SMART Software Engineering team.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience of modern C++ (at least C++ 11);
  • Experience in making key design decisions on projects;
  • Experience writing multithreaded code.

Nice to haves (but not a deal-breaker):

  • TCP/UDP networking;
  • Qt;
  • ElasticSearch;
  • AWS;
  • OpenGL;
  • Audio processing;
  • FFmpeg;
  • ZeroMQ.

Benefits

In addition to being a part of a great team, working in a fun and creative environment and learning from the best technical minds in the sports industry, we offer:

  • Competitive salary, bonus scheme and stakeholder pension;
  • Paid maternity and paternity leave;
  • Access to the latest tools and technologies;
  • Attend global software developer conferences;
  • Regular hack days when you have the opportunity to spend time on side projects;
  • Stocked kitchen space amp; game lounge;
