Build the most accurate putting simulator for mobile.
We’re PuttOUT - a design-led brand known for inventive and beautifully made golf training products. Now, we’re bringing that same spirit of quality and innovation to software: a putting simulator for iPhone that pairs with our ‘AirBreak’ putting platform, using on-device machine learning to turn putting practice into interactive game modes and skills challenges.
What you’ll do:
* Lead development of our iOS putting simulator app – evolve a working MVP that already detects the playing surface, balls and putts into a stable, production-ready app.
* Refine computer vision - real-time object detection and tracking using Core ML / Vision (or similar frameworks such as OpenCV or PyTorch).
* Balance accuracy and performance - deliver fast, thermally efficient gameplay on iPhone.
* Collaborate directly with our CEO (a former developer) and Chief Product Officer, to make key architectural decisions.
* Own the codebase – build on our MVP or start from scratch to create well-structured and maintainable code.
What you’ll bring:
* Strong track record of shipping iOS apps in Swift using native frameworks.
* Experience integrating and optimising on-device machine-learning or computer-vision models.
* Engineer for accuracy and responsiveness - balancing performance and thermal limits while keeping the codebase simple to test and extend.
* Able to explain decisions and trade-offs clearly to non-technical colleagues.
Why join PuttOUT?
We’re a small, ambitious team that values flexibility and craft. You’ll see your work in the hands of real golfers worldwide, used in coaching sessions, home practice, and pro shops, and have real ownership of how the product evolves.
Hybrid working (ideally two days a week in London, flexible for the right UK-based candidate).
Salary £70 – £80k + benefits.
