Longshot Systems | Multiple Roles | Marylebone, London, UK | ONSITE | Full time At Longshot Systems Ltd we're a small startup building advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading. Having developed a lot of our core platform infrastructure we are looking to begin expanding our trading strategy development activity. 1) Senior Machine Learning Engineer | £80k+ (https://longshot-systems-ltd.workable.com/j/529141E6D2). You'd be turning prototype trading models into production-ready systems, designing and building the tooling & frameworks to support strategy research and development as well as architecting the high-level design of the strategy software to minimise trading latency and scale effectively. Our ML stack is Numpy/Scipy based and communicates with our core infrastructure, written in Golang, by RPC. The ideal candidate will have a strong software engineering background, with broad experience across a range of topics related to general high performance computing such as multi-threading, networking, profiling and optimisation. 2) Senior Machine Learning Researcher | £80k+ (https://longshot-systems-ltd.workable.com/j/23F31D6A82) You'd be designing, testing and implementing new high frequency sports betting strategies based on machine learning models. If you're the kind of person who enjoys knocking up a prototype model based on something you read the other day in a research paper you'll enjoy our working environment; 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 is very important for this role and ideally you'll have experience in doing research on cutting-edge models either in industry or academia.
