The Role: Software Engineer

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with a strong interest in high-performance, real-time visual computing to help build the next generation of automated video technologies.

You’ll work on advanced systems that process and enhance live sports video from multiple cameras in real time. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing fast, reliable, and scalable software for production environments.

Key Responsibilities

Join our team developing intelligent video systems used worldwide:

• Design and implement components of real-time visual processing software using C++ or Rust.
• Contribute to video and image processing pipelines, including modules for calibration, segmentation, stitching, enhancement, and other core processes essential for automated video production.
• Optimize performance across CPU and GPU platforms to achieve low latency and high throughput.
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to turn new ideas into production-quality code.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable software, following best practices for large-scale, high-performance systems.

Our Stack

• Languages: C++, Rust
• Frameworks & Tools: OpenCV, FFmpeg, Vulkan/CUDA, Git (GitLab)
• Cloud: AWS (EC2, S3)
  
  

Required skills & experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Rust, with a solid understanding of performance-oriented software design.
• Experience with real-time systems, video/image processing, or similar computational workloads.
• Familiarity with software development best practices, modular design, testing, and CI/CD workflows.
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills in a multidisciplinary environment.
  
  

What Will Set You Apart:

• Experience with multi-camera systems, 3D geometry, or sensor integration.
• Knowledge of segmentation, visual tracking, or computational imaging.
• Exposure to GPU programming (CUDA, Vulkan, or Metal).
• Experience building or optimizing real-time or low-latency applications.
• Familiarity with data-driven perception, scene understanding, or automated video production pipelines.
