- Rapidly build functional prototypes across a wide range of technology domains, from machine learning systems to API integrations
- Leverage generative AI coding assistants and productivity tools to maximise development velocity
- Develop proof‑of‑concept applications that demonstrate the potential of emerging technologies for betting and gaming
- Build automated pipelines and workflows for content generation, data processing, and system integration
- Integrate with third‑party APIs and services to create novel product experiences
- Implement machine learning models and neural network architectures for experimental applications
- Deploy prototypes to internal demonstration environments and hubs for stakeholder evaluation
- Collaborate with the Research Graduate on technical feasibility assessments
- Contribute to technical presentations and documentation of prototype capabilities
What you’ll need
- Strong software development skills with proficiency in multiple programming languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc.)
- Hands‑on experience with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar)
