Summary

We are looking for an experienced Unity developer to help convert an existing Unity Editor-based sports analytics tool into a standalone desktop application. ## About the Project We have already built a working MVP inside the Unity Editor that allows annotators to create and refine 3D player poses from broadcast video frames. The tool combines computer vision outputs (2D keypoints, player tracking, homography, and initial 3D pose estimates) with a rigged humanoid character that users can adjust and validate. Our goal is to transform this internal research tool into a polished application that can be used by non-technical annotators at scale. ## What You'll Be Working On * Convert an existing Unity Editor tool into a standalone application * Build an intuitive runtime UI for annotation workflows * Create tools for interacting with and posing rigged humanoid characters * Support loading and saving annotation datasets * Implement multi-camera/view layouts for pose review * Improve usability, workflow efficiency, and overall user experience * Help test and refine the application with our team ## Requirements * Strong Unity development experience * Experience building standalone desktop applications * Experience with runtime UI (UI Toolkit or UGUI) * Experience working with rigged humanoid characters, animation systems, or IK * Comfortable working with JSON data and custom tooling ## Nice to Have * Annotation tool development * Sports analytics or motion capture experience * Camera projection, 3D geometry, or pose estimation knowledge ## To Apply Please send: * Examples of relevant Unity projects you've built * A brief description of your experience with runtime tooling and character interaction systems * Any experience with annotation projects * A short overview of how you would approach converting an Editor-based tool into a standalone application We'll provide selected candidates with a detailed technical specification and source code overview before moving forward.
