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 statistical models while also researching and deploying new ones.

This convergence demands a rare blend of skills and creativity to identify and capitalise on inefficiencies across the iGaming landscape. The opportunities are vast, but we are only as good as the people we bring on board.

As a startup, we offer a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment where you'll work on impactful projects and have the autonomy to explore new ideas.
