Overview
Senior Data Scientist role at Sky within a specialised machine learning team to build cutting-edge capabilities of an AI-driven platform for immersive, personalised live sports experiences. You will work in a fast-paced, exploratory environment that rewards creativity, flexibility, and a hands-on approach.
Join us to rethink how sports are experienced. Backed by our AI-driven platform, we will be building live sports experiences that are more immersive and personalised—giving fans control, new viewing angles, and participation across devices. If you enjoy iterative experimentation and solving open-ended problems, you’ll feel at home.
What you’ll do
The Senior Data Scientist will develop and implement data-driven solutions to deliver new innovative sports-focused products to our large customer base of sports fans. You will identify trends in large datasets and develop models that predict outcomes, while communicating insights effectively with stakeholders across the organisation.
Responsibilities
* Develop predictive models using advanced statistical techniques (e.g., regression, classification, clustering).
* Analyse large datasets to uncover patterns and relationships between variables.
* Collaborate with stakeholders to understand needs and develop data-driven solutions.
* Own the full lifecycle of ML solutions—designing, deploying, and maintaining models in production.
* Monitor model performance over time and adjust parameters for optimal results.
* Stay up-to-date on industry trends and recommend new approaches when appropriate.
* Build and integrate cloud-native components to expose models as scalable endpoints and publish inference results as events for downstream systems.
* Establish robust MLOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, retraining strategies, and automated testing.
* Mentor junior data scientists and engineers on productionising machine learning.
What you’ll bring
* Strong collaborative mindset with the ability to work across disciplines and contribute creatively.
* Good understanding of large language and multi-modal models.
* Experience in Python, Docker, and cloud-based development (ideally AWS).
* Strong background in data analysis and machine learning, with proven end-to-end ML system experience (ideally 3+ years).
* AWS Machine Learning Certification desirable.
* Experience using Infrastructure-as-Code to deploy ML solutions on AWS.
The rewards
* Sky Q and Sky Glass access at attractive rates.
* Generous pension, private healthcare, and discounted mobile/broadband.
