  4. Excellent programming skills and experience implementing efficient algorithms for high-dimensional problems (ideally with TensorFlow, Julia, Google JAX).
  5. Any prior exposure to sports modelling would be a major advantage, but we will consider candidates with limited work experience.

Why Join Us:

  1. Be part of a leading company in the gaming and gambling industry.
  2. Work on cutting-edge technology and innovative projects.
  3. Collaborate with a team of passionate and skilled professionals.
  4. Enjoy a dynamic and supportive work environment with opportunities for career growth.
