Senior ML/AI Engineer

About this role

About PlayerProps.ai

PlayerProps.ai is an AI-powered sports betting research and analytics platform built for the everyday bettor. We cover player props, moneylines, spreads, totals, trends, and sharp money tools across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, and college sports. We are an education-first research platform, never a picks service, and that positioning has earned us the 2025 FSGA Sports Betting Business of the Year award, making us the first company outside FanDuel and DraftKings to receive it.

We bootstrapped to seven figures in ARR from a founder-built community of over 200,000 sports bettors before ever spending a dollar on paid acquisition. Now, with strong unit economics and a fresh seed round behind us, we are growing the engineering team that powers the intelligence behind the product.

The Role

You will be the senior modeling and AI engineer at PlayerProps.ai, working directly with our technical lead and founder. This role spans the full intelligence layer of the platform: building new predictive and analytical models from the ground up, integrating and taming new data sources, and advancing the LLM-powered systems already serving our members.

Our roadmap includes significant expansion of what we model and for whom, and this hire will lead that work. We keep the specifics off public listings, but strong candidates will hear exactly where we are headed early in the interview process.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will ship to production, own systems end to end, and see your work in front of paying subscribers within days, not quarters.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and ship new predictive and analytical models from raw data to production
• Evaluate, integrate, and maintain new third-party data sources, and build the pipelines that make them production reliable
• Own and advance our LLM-powered analyst: prompt architecture, retrieval, tool use, and response quality across every sport we cover
• Expand our evaluation infras...
