Junior Software Engineer

Football Radar

For over a decade, Football Radar has excelled in developing statistical models and analytical frameworks for football. Our expertise extends to providing advisory services to football clubs and offering leading-edge betting advice that has consistently delivered outstanding returns for our clients. We define ourselves as a unique blend of start-up dynamism and established business security, combining the flexibility of the former with the stability of the latter.

At Football Radar, we analyse and predict football matches. In the role of a Graduate Software Engineer, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the software that makes that possible - everything from modern web applications to real time data platforms and cloud infrastructure.

This role is based at our London office, at 106 Kensington High Street, London, W8 4SG
. While we are open to flexible working hours to help you avoid rush hour, we believe in the value of in-person collaboration and learning opportunities, so we require at least 4 days a week in the office.

We are first and foremost a football company, and to have a big impact here, it will help if you have domain expertise – you will probably be a big football fan, and ideally someone who is comfortable with the mathematical and statistical approaches we are applying to the game. If you have any experience with sports betting or football analytics that is a bonus.

We are looking for smart, ambitious people who are naturally curious, eager to learn, and enjoy solving challenging problems in a dynamic environment.
