Analyze historical data, trends, and live odds to identify trading opportunities.
• Risk Management: Monitor overall portfolio risk, position limits, and exposure caps to stay within risk tolerance. Adjust strategies based on variance, probability shifts, and new information.
• Trading Operations (BAU): Test and provide liquidity for new sports contracts when listed.
• Trading Development: Collaborate with developers and risk managers to improve the trading infrastructure, including connectivity, pricing, execution, and booking logic.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Finance, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Advanced degrees are an asset.
• 5+ years of profitable sports prediction trading experience on a leading trading desk in a bank, proprietary trading firm, or market-making shop.
• Demonstrated experience in successfully building and managing trades.
• Familiarity with Python and a keen interest in expanding your technical skillset.
• Strong critical thinking skills and a commitment to continuous improvement.
• Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Adaptive, self-motivated, enjoy challenges and responsibility, and thrive in fast-paced, competitive environments.
• Experience with prediction market platforms, sports betting exchanges, or similar financial environments.
• Ability to work effectively under pressure and in dynamic, fast-paced environments.

• Monitor 24/7 market activity and update trading models with the latest data in collaboration with the team.
• Conduct pre-market and post-market analyses of upcoming sporting events, identifying key opportunities and risks.
• Place trades across multiple markets, responding to changes in live odds, news reports, and betting flows.
• Communicate with team members to discuss strategies, notable events, and market shifts.
• Monitor active positions, adjust orders, and hedge exposures throughout the day.
• Analyze trade outcomes and refine predictive models for future events.
• Prepare end-of-day summaries, performance reviews, and compliance reports.
