At Longshot Systems we build advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading.
We're looking for a Sports Betting Trading Analyst to come and join our modelling team where you will be one of our sports & betting market experts. You'd be joining a small team and working closely alongside software engineers and machine learning experts to provide the domain expert insight in improving the trading strategies we develop for our clients. Your role is to identify trading strategy improvements and value leaks in existing and new strategies through a combination of watching our client's trading activity from our internal tools, data analysis on historical trading and intuition from your sport and betting market knowledge.
You should have a deep interest in sports and sports betting, especially from the professional sports bettor perspective. Ideally you have strong working knowledge of betting exchanges, prediction markets, sharp bookmakers (including the US and Asian markets) and general betting market dynamics. You're a general sports fanatic and enjoy following a wide variety of sports, especially thinking about them from a sports betting angle. You're comfortable with Jupyter notebooks and data analysis in Python. You're numerate and good with numbers, ideally with a degree of core statistical knowledge and understanding.
We are a hybrid working company, working Thursdays in our London (Farringdon) office and flexible the rest of the week. Our typical working hours are 10 am to 6 pm UK time, Monday to Friday, but we support flexible working and trust our team to manage their own schedules to meet their goals. This role especially benefits from working during sporting events, although ultimately it's up to you to decide what's the most valuable use of time and we have excellent tools to re-look at games in normal hours.
