About SkillCorner
SkillCorner is a sports-technology company using artificial intelligence and computer vision to turn broadcast, tactical and wide-angle video into automated player and ball-tracking data. Our technology helps professional clubs and organisations make better-informed decisions across recruitment, scouting, performance analysis and football strategy.
The Prediction Team combines tracking and event data to develop advanced game-intelligence and physical-performance metrics. We use machine learning and deep learning to understand player and team behaviour, and to turn complex football data into insights that support real-world decision-making.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will develop the models behind SkillCorner's game-intelligence and physical-performance metrics. The problems are often challenging and open-ended, so you will need to make defensible modelling decisions, assess uncertainty and build solutions that can be trusted in real football environments.
Key responsibilities
Lead modelling projects end to end, from problem definition and data exploration through development, evaluation, deployment and ongoing improvement.
Develop and improve machine-learning and deep-learning models for player evaluation, tactical analysis, predictive metrics and other applications involving player and team behaviour.
Work with high-volume, high-frequency and spatiotemporal data, addressing issues such as missing data, noise, bias and model reliability.
Navigate ambiguous problems, balancing research ambition with pragmatic solutions that meet genuine client needs.
Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, analysts, football specialists, business stakeholders and professional clubs to turn football questions and client requirements into robust solutions.
Help shape the team's technical direction and standards, communicate modelling choices and limitations clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, and support less experienced colleagues.
