Are you looking for your next challenge combining maths and software engineering? If you’re recently graduated or graduating this year with qualifications covering maths or a maths-related discipline as well as software engineering, value personal well-being, thrive on problem solving, and want to continue learning, we have a fantastic opportunity for you.
About The Role
You would be joining our team of eleven in-house developers. Day to day work will involve working with our teams of statistical researchers and product owners to create, maintain and optimise code written mostly in R and C++, but also in C#, that runs as part of our mathematical models. You’ll initially be working under the guidance of more senior developers and will continually be encouraged to take ownership of your work as your skills progress.
As you'll be working with sports data, an interest in this field is beneficial, however you don't have to be a football fanatic or a cricket specialist to join our team. There's also so much more to us than sport; as a company we're passionate about social responsibility, sustainability, and employee well-being.
