Machine learning engineer in sports betting

At Longshot Systems we build advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading. We're hiring Machine Learning Engineers across our core ML engineering and horse racing teams. You'd be designing, building and productionising ML pipelines, tooling, visualisation, frameworks and data engineering workflows to support strategy research, analysis and development, working closely with our quantitative research teams to turn prototype trading models into production-ready systems.

• designing, building and productionising ML pipelines, tooling, visualisation, frameworks and data engineering workflows to support strategy research, analysis and development, working closely with our quantitative research teams to turn prototype trading models into production-ready systems.
• help shape the high-level architecture of our strategy software so it scales effectively and keeps trading latency low.

• A degree in a quantitative, technical subject (e.g. Machine Learning, Maths, Physics, Computer Science etc) from a top university
• Strong software engineering background in Python alongside solid expertise in modern C++ (C++23)
• Experience building, optimizing, and integrating low-latency performance-critical components in a hybrid Python/C++ environment
