About the job

Join Longshot Systems, where we are at the forefront of developing sophisticated platforms for sports betting analytics and trading.

We are in search of talented Machine Learning Researchers to join our quantitative modeling team. This team’s primary objective is to enhance the predictive capabilities of our models using historical event and market data. The quality of our models is paramount, as improvements directly influence our company’s success.

In this role, you will design, test, and implement innovative machine learning models using Python, continuously enhancing our existing state-of-the-art solutions. As a small, focused company, we offer you the chance to be involved in every aspect of the R&D process, from high-level design to production implementation.

The ideal candidate will possess high creativity and enjoy developing new, innovative approaches to problem-solving, and will have the autonomy to explore the most suitable methods for the challenges at hand. A strong mathematical foundation in machine learning and core statistics is essential. While knowledge of sports betting is not required, experience with modeling sports — particularly in-play football, basketball, or tennis — is advantageous.

We embrace a hybrid working model, requiring in-office presence on Thursdays at our London (Farringdon) office, while allowing flexibility for the remainder of the week. Our standard working hours are from 10 am to 6 pm UK time, Monday to Friday, with support for flexible schedules to help our team achieve their goals.

Our interview process includes:

  • Introductory call (30 mins) - discussing your background and interests
  • Technical interview (60 mins) - focusing on modeling questions and a coding exercise
  • Full assessment day (10:30 am – 5 pm) - encompassing a comprehensive modeling exercise and team interactions
