Job Title: Quantitative Developer (Hybrid Quant & Data Focus)

Overview
We are a sports betting firm with a strong team of quantitative analysts and deep mathematical expertise driving model design. Where we are weaker is on the deployment and development side, which has meant leaning heavily on our DevOps team. We are now looking for someone who can bridge this gap — sitting halfway between a Quant Developer and a Quant Analyst.

This role is not about building models from scratch. Instead, you will bring a high-level understanding of quant research and apply your skills to implement, deploy, and optimise models in production betting environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with quant analysts to understand betting models and ensure they can be effectively implemented and deployed.

  • Strengthen data pipelines and support the transition from research to production.

  • Act as a bridge between the quant team and DevOps, reducing reliance on external development support.

  • Contribute to development and deployment best practices for quantitative betting strategies.

  • Support the scaling of models into live sports betting markets.

Requirements

  • Strong experience in software development and/or data science, with exposure to quantitative methods.

  • High-level understanding of mathematical models, with the ability to implement rather than design from scratch.

  • A background that may include moving from computer science into sports betting or quantitative finance, or starting as a developer/data scientist and building up towards the quant side.

  • Substantial exposure to both development and data science, ideally in trading, betting, or high-performance environments.

  • Interest in progressing further into the quantitative space, operating in a hybrid role.
