Your Role
The Applied Machine Learning (AML) team’s vision is to deliver the right data at the right time, straight into the hands of our coaches and athletes. The team is focusing on creating a competitive advantage via machine learning (ML) at Hudl, primarily focusing on computer vision and deep learning models, deploying them on the cloud and on the edge for our Focus cameras. We already have a number of ML models in production powering automation across Hudl and this is only the start of our journey.
We’re looking for an Engineering Director to coach our Applied Machine Learning team. Your responsibilities would include: aligning engineering activities and projects with company goals and objectives in a cost-effective manner; providing expert guidance and support; approving newly developed policies from various departments; and maintaining positive relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. You’ll lead, grow and mentor a team of 20+ ML researchers and MLops engineers across five squads, driving the technical strategy. You’ll also work together with other Engineering Directors to represent and support the engineering chapter in communication with other stakeholders, chapters and departments across the company.
