At Longshot Systems we're building advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading.
We're hiring for Machine Learning Researcher roles within our horse racing team, although prior knowledge of horse racing isn't required. The primary goal of this team is to improve the predictive power of our models based on fundamental data about horse races. The quality of our models is incredibly important to us and this team has a high impact on the overall success of the company.
You will work closely with the CEO, CTO, and Team Lead to design, test, and implement new machine learning models in Python, continually improving our existing state-of-the-art solutions. Due to us being a small startup the role suits someone who wants to be involved in all aspects of the R&D process, from high-level design through to production implementation.
The ideal candidate will be highly creative and enjoy generating new, innovate ways to tackle problems and suggesting improvements to existing methodologies; you'll have a high level of autonomy to research whichever methods you felt would be best suited to the problem at hand. A strong mathematical understanding of the fundamentals of Machine Learning and core Statistics is very important for this role and ideally you'll have experience in doing research on cutting-edge models either in industry or academia.
We are a remote-first company, and for this role, we are open to both hybrid candidates-working one day a week in our Farringdon, London office-and fully remote candidates, though we prefer hybrid when possible. Our typical working hours are 10 am to 6 pm UK time, Monday to Friday, but we support flexible working and trust our team to manage their own schedules to meet their goals.
We're open to applicants across a range of experience levels applying to this role with a preference for more experienced / senior hires.
