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.
About the Role
At Football Radar, we analyse and predict football matches. In the role of a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for helping build and maintain the software that makes that possible - everything from modern web applications to statistical models, real time data platforms to cloud infrastructure.
This role is based at our London office, at 1 Craven Hill, London, W2 3EN. You will have flexibility to work from home one day a week. Please note we are not considering remote candidates at the moment.
Role Requirements
We are looking for engineers with at least 2 years of experience in Scala. Given that the majority of our backend codebase is written in Scala, the ideal candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our backend infrastructure.
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’d love to hear from you if this sounds like you:
Well-versed in working with distributed systems in the cloud (our software runs in AWS, deployed via Docker and Kubernetes)

Full time
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.
About the Role
At Football Radar, we analyse and predict football matches. In the role of a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for helping build and maintain the software that makes that possible - everything from modern web applications to statistical models, real time data platforms to cloud infrastructure.
This role is based at our London office, at 1 Craven Hill, London, W2 3EN. You will have flexibility to work from home one day a week. Please note we are not considering remote candidates at the moment.
Role Requirements
We are looking for engineers with at least 2 years of experience in Scala. Given that the majority of our backend codebase is written in Scala, the ideal candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our backend infrastructure.
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.
