About the role :

This is a model-building role, not an ML platform or MLOps role. You will design, build, and productionize the statistical and machine learning models that sit at the core of Sportz Interactive’s sports intelligence products. This includes predictive models built on live and historical match data, as well as player and team performance metrics that are published, commercialized, and used by sports stakeholders. The role sits at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, sports data, and product. You will be expected to own modelling decisions end-to-end from defining the problem and engineering features to validating the approach, taking models into production and continuously improving their accuracy and robustness.

Key Requirement:

Model Development & Validation
- Design, build, and validate predictive and descriptive models using live and historical sports data.
- Develop models for player performance, team performance, match outcomes, and other sports intelligence use cases.
- Define appropriate modelling methodologies, performance metrics,



and rating systems.
- Establish rigorous validation, backtesting, and evaluation frameworks for models whose outputs may be published or consumed in real time.
- Investigate model failures, performance degradation, and drift, and continuously improve model accuracy and robustness.

Feature Engineering & Data
- Own feature engineering and the analytical datasets required for modelling.
- Work with large, complex, and messy event-level sports data to identify meaningful patterns and predictive signals.
- Collaborate with Data Engineers to ensure modelling datasets are reliable, scalable, and fit for purpose.
- Make informed decisions around model complexity, prioritising explainability and robustness where appropriate.

Production & Integration
- Take models from prototype through to production.
- Work closely with Data and Backend Engineers to integrate models into production systems and serving laye
