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
