Sports officiating, ball tracking, VAR and broadcast replay technology
Hawk-Eye Innovations builds computer-vision officiating, tracking and broadcast tools for live sport, part of Sony's sports group. Its stack splits in two: a C++/CUDA/TensorRT/OpenCV/PyTorch vision layer and a Java/Spring Boot cloud backend on AWS with Kafka, Pulsar and Kubernetes. Accelerating, engineering-heavy hiring alongside VAR rollout and an internal platform-as-a-service points to scaling live match operations without on-site support.
Hawk-Eye Innovations develops officiating, production, tracking and analytics technology for sports, starting with tennis and cricket in 2001 and expanding into further sports since.
