Overview
Senior Data Scientist. We believe in better. And we make it happen. Working in Tech, Product or Data at Sky is about building the next and the new. From broadband to broadcast, streaming to mobile, SkyQ to Sky Glass, we never stand still. We optimise and innovate. We turn big ideas into the products, content and services millions of people love, and we do it all right here at Sky.
Join us to rethink how sports are experienced. Backed by our AI-driven platform, we will be building live sports experiences to be more immersive and personalised — giving fans a chance to take control, watch the game from new angles, even participate in the action, on any device. As a Senior Data Scientist, you\'ll work within a specialised machine learning team to build cutting-edge capabilities of the AI-driven platform.
We work in a fast-paced, exploratory environment where ideas are rapidly prototyped, tested, and refined. It rewards creativity, flexibility, and a hands-on approach. If you enjoy working iteratively, experimenting with new techniques, and solving open-ended problems, you\'ll feel right at home.
We are a Disability Confident Employer and welcome applications from all candidates. We will make reasonable adjustments to support you where appropriate. Please flag any adjustments you need to your recruiter as early as you can.
Hybrid working: split time between unique office spaces and the convenience of working from home. Later in the process you\'ll learn more about what hybrid looks like for your role.
Note: if your application is successful, we may require a criminal record check. Depending on the role and any relevant convictions, we might need to withdraw the offer.
