About

We’re partnering with a data-driven technology company that’s investing heavily in advanced video analytics. They’re looking for a Lead Computer Vision Engineer to join a growing data function and take ownership of how large-scale video data is transformed into structured, high-value insights. This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of computer vision, data engineering, and applied analytics. You’ll be the most senior CV specialist in the organisation, setting technical direction and helping move an existing semi-manual workflow towards a highly automated, reliable, production-grade pipeline. If you enjoy solving messy real-world problems, owning systems end to end, and seeing your work directly influence business outcomes, this role offers a lot of autonomy and responsibility. Tasks

Proven commercial experience building and deploying computer vision systems in production Strong hands-on experience in areas such as object detection, tracking, temporal event detection, pose estimation, or action recognition Excellent Python skills and experience with common CV/ML libraries such as OpenCV, PyTorch, or TensorFlow Experience owning technical and architectural decisions for data-intensive systems A pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset with the ability to balance experimentation and production reliability Nice to have Experience working with noisy, imperfect real-world video data (e.g. broadcast or user-generated footage) Exposure to MLOps practices and tooling for deploying and monitoring models at scale Familiarity with sports, media, or broadcast video analytics Benefits
Up to 30% bonus. Enhanced pension contributions Private health insurance and life assurance Sabbatical option after five years 33 days’ annual leave (including bank holidays) The opportunity to work on technically challenging, high-impact systems that directly influence business performance
