Senior Computer Vision Scientist – Basketball Tracking
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 29, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 22, 2026.
Join SkillCorner, a global leader in sports data analytics. As a Senior Computer Vision Scientist, you will work on cutting-edge deep learning models for basketball tracking. You will design architectures, build training and evaluation pipelines, and push performance to production-grade quality. Your work will have a real impact on professional basketball teams worldwide.
Missions
- Conception, formation et optimisation de modèles d'apprentissage profond pour la détection, le suivi, la ré-identification, la reconnaissance et l'estimation de pose.
- Responsabilité des composants clés du pipeline de suivi du basketball de bout en bout, de la collecte de données et de la formation à l'évaluation et au déploiement.
- Intégration d'algorithmes de recherche dans notre pipeline de production AWS et maintien de la performance stable lors de la mise en ligne de nouveaux modèles.
Profil recherché
* A graduate degree or PhD in engineering, computer science, mathematics or a related field* 4+ years of hands-on experience in computer vision with deep learning, including production systems
* Strong deep learning expertise in areas such as people tracking, re-identification, people, face and object recognition, camera calibration, body pose estimation and action recognition
* Proven experience designing, training and shipping detection, tracking or recognition models to production, not only research prototypes
