AI Software Engineer

🐍 Engineer | Real-Time Systems for Sports AI | UK Remote

We’ve partnered with a fast-growing sports tech company that’s building real-time, AI-powered analytics for live sports – video data streaming straight from the stadium to customers, as it happens.

They’re now looking for a Python Software Engineer to join their AI function. You’ll sit at the core of the product, re-architecting and optimising the infrastructure that powers real-time insights.

🚀 What You’ll Be Doing

• Rebuilding the backend of a real-time, video-driven stadium analytics platform
• Designing systems that stream video and data live to end users
• Collaborating with AI and data teams to feed video streams into ML pipelines
• Working with tools like FFmpeg and GPU acceleration for video processing
• Driving the shift from batch processing to low-latency infrastructure

You should have:

• Hands-on Python development in production
• Real experience building or optimizing real-time systems (bonus points for media, finance, surveillance, or video)
• Exposure to video tooling like FFmpeg, OpenCV, or GStreamer
• A solid grasp of how things work “under the hood” — data structures, memory, OOP
• Comfort working closely with product teams in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment

🧩 Where You’ll Sit

• Reporting to the Head of AI
• Supporting the AI team by building out infrastructure (not training models)
• Acting as a key technical interface between product and AI delivery
• Helping make live sports data truly live

If you\’re a Python engineer who thrives on building robust, real-time systems — and you want your work to be seen, used, and make a difference — hit apply. Let\’s get you in the game. 🏟️
