• Work cross-functionally with trading and software teams
• Deploy models that directly inform trading decisions globally

• 5–10 years’ experience in data/quant-focused roles
• Strong coding in Python (R and MATLAB welcome; C# desirable)
• Solid understanding of statistics and probability
• Professional experience working with messy, real-world datasets
• Interest in sports (trading background not required)

Key Details

• Salary: £100,000 – £150,000 + bonus (10–20%, paid twice yearly)
• Location: Central London – 5 days onsite
