End-to-end MLOps experience, including CI/CD for ML, experiment tracking, model registries, drift detection, automated retraining, and infrastructure as code practices. Proven technical leadership experience including mentoring and guiding Senior and Mid-Level Data Scientists both in their day-to-day work and career development. Experience of working in a fast-changing environment is vital demonstrating adaptability and ability to support the team through times of uncertainty, pivoting as necessary. Experience designing scalable, low l atency architectures, including real time or near real time data processing (e.g., streaming systems) suitable for live or rapidly evolving sports use cases. Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire, guide, and clearly articulate complex strategies to executives, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders. The rewards There's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to : the perks. Here's a taster: Sky Q, for the TV you love all in one place The magic of Sky Glass at an exclusive rate A generous pension package Private healthcare Discounted mobile and broadband A wide range of Sky VIP rewards and experiences Inclusion & how you'll work We are a Disability Confident Employer, and welcome and encourage applications from all candidates.

Your office space Osterley Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway and South Ealing tube stations. There are also plenty of bike shelters and showers. On campus, you'll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car washed, and even get pampered at our beauty salon. We'd love to hear from you Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky. It's a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next. But better doesn't stop at what we do, it's how we do it, too. We embrace each other's differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our business and the planet. If you believe in better, we'll back you all the way. Just so you know: if your application is successful, we'll ask you to complete a criminal record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.

Advanced Python expertise with strong hands-on use of ML/DL frameworks (e.g., PyTorch , TensorFlow), including taking models from experimentation into production model serving. End-to-end MLOps experience, including CI/CD for ML, experiment tracking, model registries, drift detection, automated retraining, and infrastructure as code practices. Proven technical leadership experience including mentoring and guiding Senior and Mid-Level Data Scientists both in their day-to-day work and career development. Experience of working in a fast-changing environment is vital demonstrating adaptability and ability to support the team through times of uncertainty, pivoting as necessary. Experience designing scalable, low l atency architectures, including real time or near real time data processing (e.g., streaming systems) suitable for live or rapidly evolving sports use cases. Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire, guide, and clearly articulate complex strategies to executives, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders. The rewards There's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to : the perks.

As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer , you'll shape the technical strategy and delivery of production ML systems that transform raw sports data and live video into real-time insights and personalised experiences for millions of fans. What you'll do: You'll be the technical lead for a critical ML domain (e.g., live sports insights and personalisation , real-time ranking, computer vision for multi-angle video, or streaming inference). Expect to influence roadmaps, architecture, and platform evolution-not just single models-while mentoring engineers and data scientists and raising the bar across teams. Lead the end-to-end development of AI solutions using Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Generative AI, and data science to enable capabilities such as automated sports metadata generation and detection of key events in live content and data streams. Generate actionable insights for player performance, contextual statistics, and injury risk by designing models with embedded responsible and ethical AI principles from design through deployment. Integrate model driven insights into personalisation engines, tailoring recommendations based on favourite teams, players, match context, and other signals while ensuring transparency, fairness, and appropriate use of data. Define advanced experimental designs, lead A/B testing, develop and maintain metrics and dashboards, establish robust MLOps practices, and own end-to-end productionisation from data ingestion through deployment and ongoing model monitoring. Design, architect, and operate low l atency , highly reliable cloud b ased AI systems for live sports scenarios, ensuring resilient performance during peak traffic, responsible model behaviour in real time, and an optimal balance between cost, latency, and production scale performance. What you'll bring Proven extensive lead level engineering experience delivering sports insights or sports data-driven ML systems, with clear ownership of technical direction, mentoring, and delivery. Deep understanding of sports data, including hands-on experience working with event data, tracking data, or other high-volume sports datasets, and converting these into actionable analytical or predictive insights. Working knowledge of modern ML techniques, including Generative AI, and how emergent models can extract insights from multi modal sports data (e.g., numerical, spatial, video, or metadata). Advanced Python expertise with strong hands-on use of ML/DL frameworks (e.g., PyTorch , TensorFlow), including taking models from experimentation into production model serving. End-to-end MLOps experience, including CI/CD for ML, experiment tracking, model registries, drift detection, automated retraining, and infrastructure as code practices. Proven technical leadership experience including mentoring and guiding Senior and Mid-Level Data Scientists both in their day-to-day work and career development. Experience of working in a fast-changing environment is vital demonstrating adaptability and ability to support the team through times of uncertainty, pivoting as necessary. Experience designing scalable, low l atency architectures, including real time or near real time data processing (e.g., streaming systems) suitable for live or rapidly evolving sports use cases. Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire, guide, and clearly articulate complex strategies to executives, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders. The rewards There's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to : the perks. Here's a taster: Sky Q, for the TV you love all in one place The magic of Sky Glass at an exclusive rate A generous pension package Private healthcare Discounted mobile and broadband A wide range of Sky VIP rewards and experiences Inclusion & how you'll work We are a Disability Confident Employer, and welcome and encourage applications from all candidates. We will look to ensure a fair and consistent experience for all, and will make reasonable adjustments to support you where appropriate. Please flag any adjustments you need to your recruiter as early as you can. We've embraced hybrid working and split our time between unique office spaces and the convenience of working from home. You'll find out more about what hybrid working looks like for your role later on in the recruitment process. Your office space Osterley Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway and South Ealing tube stations. There are also plenty of bike shelters and showers. On campus, you'll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car washed, and even get pampered at our beauty salon. We'd love to hear from you Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky. It's a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next. But better doesn't stop at what we do, it's how we do it, too. We embrace each other's differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our business and the planet. If you believe in better, we'll back you all the way. Just so you know: if your application is successful, we'll ask you to complete a criminal record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.

Generate actionable insights for player performance, contextual statistics, and injury risk by designing models with embedded responsible and ethical AI principles from design through deployment. Integrate model driven insights into personalisation engines, tailoring recommendations based on favourite teams, players, match context, and other signals while ensuring transparency, fairness, and appropriate use of data. Define advanced experimental designs, lead A/B testing, develop and maintain metrics and dashboards, establish robust MLOps practices, and own end-to-end productionisation from data ingestion through deployment and ongoing model monitoring. Design, architect, and operate low l atency , highly reliable cloud b ased AI systems for live sports scenarios, ensuring resilient performance during peak traffic, responsible model behaviour in real time, and an optimal balance between cost, latency, and production scale performance. What you'll bring Proven extensive lead level engineering experience delivering sports insights or sports data-driven ML systems, with clear ownership of technical direction, mentoring, and delivery. Deep understanding of sports data, including hands-on experience working with event data, tracking data, or other high-volume sports datasets, and converting these into actionable analytical or predictive insights. Working knowledge of modern ML techniques, including Generative AI, and how emergent models can extract insights from multi modal sports data (e.g., numerical, spatial, video, or metadata). Advanced Python expertise with strong hands-on use of ML/DL frameworks (e.g., PyTorch , TensorFlow), including taking models from experimentation into production model serving. End-to-end MLOps experience, including CI/CD for ML, experiment tracking, model registries, drift detection, automated retraining, and infrastructure as code practices. Proven technical leadership experience including mentoring and guiding Senior and Mid-Level Data Scientists both in their day-to-day work and career development. Experience of working in a fast-changing environment is vital demonstrating adaptability and ability to support the team through times of uncertainty, pivoting as necessary. Experience designing scalable, low l atency architectures, including real time or near real time data processing (e.g., streaming systems) suitable for live or rapidly evolving sports use cases. Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire, guide, and clearly articulate complex strategies to executives, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders. The rewards There's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to : the perks.

As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer , you'll shape the technical strategy and delivery of production ML systems that transform raw sports data and live video into real-time insights and personalised experiences for millions of fans. What you'll do: You'll be the technical lead for a critical ML domain (e.g., live sports insights and personalisation , real-time ranking, computer vision for multi-angle video, or streaming inference). Expect to influence roadmaps, architecture, and platform evolution-not just single models-while mentoring engineers and data scientists and raising the bar across teams. Lead the end-to-end development of AI solutions using Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Generative AI, and data science to enable capabilities such as automated sports metadata generation and detection of key events in live content and data streams. Generate actionable insights for player performance, contextual statistics, and injury risk by designing models with embedded responsible and ethical AI principles from design through deployment. Integrate model driven insights into personalisation engines, tailoring recommendations based on favourite teams, players, match context, and other signals while ensuring transparency, fairness, and appropriate use of data. Define advanced experimental designs, lead A/B testing, develop and maintain metrics and dashboards, establish robust MLOps practices, and own end-to-end productionisation from data ingestion through deployment and ongoing model monitoring. Design, architect, and operate low l atency , highly reliable cloud b ased AI systems for live sports scenarios, ensuring resilient performance during peak traffic, responsible model behaviour in real time, and an optimal balance between cost, latency, and production scale performance. What you'll bring Proven extensive lead level engineering experience delivering sports insights or sports data-driven ML systems, with clear ownership of technical direction, mentoring, and delivery. Deep understanding of sports data, including hands-on experience working with event data, tracking data, or other high-volume sports datasets, and converting these into actionable analytical or predictive insights. Working knowledge of modern ML techniques, including Generative AI, and how emergent models can extract insights from multi modal sports data (e.g., numerical, spatial, video, or metadata). Advanced Python expertise with strong hands-on use of ML/DL frameworks (e.g., PyTorch , TensorFlow), including taking models from experimentation into production model serving. End-to-end MLOps experience, including CI/CD for ML, experiment tracking, model registries, drift detection, automated retraining, and infrastructure as code practices. Proven technical leadership experience including mentoring and guiding Senior and Mid-Level Data Scientists both in their day-to-day work and career development. Experience of working in a fast-changing environment is vital demonstrating adaptability and ability to support the team through times of uncertainty, pivoting as necessary. Experience designing scalable, low l atency architectures, including real time or near real time data processing (e.g., streaming systems) suitable for live or rapidly evolving sports use cases. Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire, guide, and clearly articulate complex strategies to executives, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders. The rewards There's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to : the perks. Here's a taster: Sky Q, for the TV you love all in one place The magic of Sky Glass at an exclusive rate A generous pension package Private healthcare Discounted mobile and broadband A wide range of Sky VIP rewards and experiences Inclusion & how you'll work We are a Disability Confident Employer, and welcome and encourage applications from all candidates. We will look to ensure a fair and consistent experience for all, and will make reasonable adjustments to support you where appropriate. Please flag any adjustments you need to your recruiter as early as you can. We've embraced hybrid working and split our time between unique office spaces and the convenience of working from home. You'll find out more about what hybrid working looks like for your role later on in the recruitment process. Your office space Osterley Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway and South Ealing tube stations. There are also plenty of bike shelters and showers. On campus, you'll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car washed, and even get pampered at our beauty salon. We'd love to hear from you Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky. It's a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next. But better doesn't stop at what we do, it's how we do it, too. We embrace each other's differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our business and the planet. If you believe in better, we'll back you all the way. Just so you know: if your application is successful, we'll ask you to complete a criminal record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.
