DAZN

Hiring quality verdict.

DAZN's Leeds technology office has been operational since 2017 — three years before the pandemic accelerated Northern England's tech hiring surge — giving it operational depth that newer arrivals are still building. The team of approximately 180 AI and streaming engineers works on video processing AI, live sports data infrastructure, and recommendation algorithms for a platform holding Premier League and Serie A rights across multiple markets. Senior ML Engineers in Leeds earn £75,000–£115,000 base; the $7 billion-plus Access Industries backing makes this one of the best-capitalised engineering hubs outside London in the North.
