About White Swan Data

Technology is at the heart of our business and has produced consistent and significant results. We are a small but rapidly growing team of mathematicians, data scientists and software engineers constantly striving to refine our world class betting models while also researching and deploying new ones.

Our work bridges three domains, each challenging in its own right - betting and gambling, quantitative research and software development. However, finding people with the necessary skill and versatility to tackle these projects can be challenging. We are always looking for graduates or working practitioners in any technical discipline with an aptitude for analysing betting markets or for writing software to bet into those markets. Our very best people combine those skills with the capacity to see projects through from start to finish, and much else besides.
