Arsenal FC AI Research Engineer job posting

Whew didn’t expect this to get posted here but I’m not complaining!<p>I’m Chris, Head of Analytics at Arsenal and hiring manager for this role (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;chris-dove-43b7a85" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;chris-dove-43b7a85</a>)<p>I’m happy to answer any questions about the role, our department, football analytics, working at Arsenal, etc.

The thing about arsenal is, they always try and walk it in!

The slider only goes to £150,000 per annum.<p>Good luck with your search!

I have a few reasons I want to go to the UK, and seeing an Arsenal game at their home stadium is one of them. It&#x27;s not so much that it&#x27;s my favorite team as that I (1) want to see a Premier League game, (2) their stadium looks beautiful and (3) I enjoy watching games from there because they are better equipped than average for telecasts.

Arsenal are doing very innovative things in AI and I believe have Karun Singh on their team who is extremely influential in the football analytics revolution that has occurred over the last decade. Exciting role (that due to other interests I cannot go for!)

I’m an Arsenal fan living in Australia, so I often watch the games the next day because they’re on very late at night our time. Until I’ve watched the game I keep off social media to avoid spoilers, and HN is one of the few things I’m very confident in reading knowing that nothing related to Arsenal FC would ever ever get posted here. Go figure.

There’s a typo on your page: “you’ll partner with with coaches”<p>Other than that, pretty cool to see. I’ll have to pass :)

I live 500m from Arsenal stadium. Unfortunately not only do I know nothing about football, I&#x27;m just a lowly data person and would never purport to be an AI specialist.

The burning question: will Brad Pitt star in the move that gets made about this.

Apparently knowledge about football&#x2F;soccer is not a prerequisite.
