Company mission
To grow the world's leading sports ecosystem.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years building production software, data pipelines or process automations
- Hands‑on expertise with at least one major cloud platform (Google Cloud, AWS or Azure) and a scripting language such as Python or TypeScript/Node.js
- Practical experience delivering solutions that call GenAI or machine‑learning services
- Solid grounding in RESTful APIs, webhooks, auth (OAuth2, service accounts) and event‑driven design
- Comfort with Git, CI/CD and IaC (Terraform, Cloud Deploy, DevOps pipelines, etc.)
- Security‑first mindset and appreciation of regulated environments
Desirable
- Experience in gambling, fintech or similarly regulated domains
- Exposure to RPA / low‑code suites (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Platform, App Script, etc.)
- Process‑mining, Lean Six Sigma or other continuous‑improvement tooling
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, data warehouses or business‑intelligence platforms
What the job involves
- This new 4-day work week is a 6-month trial, starting 19th May 2025
- We’re on a mission to embed AI‑driven, intelligent automation across our gambling‑tech business. As the first dedicated AI Specialist, you will identify opportunities and deliver production‑ready automations that free people up, reduce risk, and set strong foundations for a future AI team
- Find the wins – analyse manual workflows, size the prize, and build a prioritised AI backlog
- Design & ship – develop, test and launch GenAI‑powered or rules‑based automations in a modern cloud environment. You pick the best tools (e.g. serverless functions, workflow engines, RPA or low‑code platforms) and own the build
- Integrate systems – connect SaaS, internal APIs, data stores and messaging queues; enforce secure auth and robust error handling
- Build for production – set up CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code and observability so automations stay reliable and auditable
- Craft great prompts – author, version and refine prompt templates for large‑language‑model calls; experiment with prompt frameworks and retrieval‑augmented techniques
- (Optional) fine‑tune – explore training or fine‑tuning domain‑specific models where prompt‑only approaches fall short
- Bake in compliance – design with UK Gambling Commission rules, ISO 27001 and GDPR in mind, partnering with Compliance from day one
- Enable others – document run‑books, run demos, and mentor colleagues to foster an automation‑first culture
- Prove value – capture qualitative feedback and simple metrics that demonstrate meaningful progress on AI adoption
- 90 days: At least one live automation reducing manual effort for a business team
- 6 months: A reusable automation framework adopted by multiple teams; positive stakeholder feedback
- 12 months: A clear roadmap and tool‑kit for a scaled IA Centre of Excellence; visible shift in culture toward automation
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Livescore Group is a union of sports streaming, digital media, and online betting companies that includes Livescore (founded in 1997), Livescore Bet, and Virgin Bet. With streaming services predicted to spend over $10B on sports rights in 2024 alone, the Livescore Group is located in the heart of a lucrative industry, and that’s before the gambling side of their group is even considered.
Livescore Group makes considerable revenue from selling its advertising space, and with streaming becoming an increasingly popular way to engage with sports, it’s unsurprising that in 2022 the company received large sums of venture capital.
Livescore Group is using this funding to accelerate growth in Central and Eastern Europe, further bolstering its 35 million worldwide active monthly users.
