Software Engineer - Prediction Markets (Python)

Software Engineers on the Prediction Markets Desk will build systems that take the desk from idea to production trading, including real-time pricing input pipelines, middle office, cross-venue reconciliation, and risk.

• During a build phase, you will be directly embedded with the desk lead and quantitative researchers, navigating ambiguity in requirements, making trade-offs, and delivering systems that the desk depends on to know what it owns, what it paid, and whether its books are clean.
• As the desk matures, you will harden and extend these systems — extracting reusable patterns, improving reliability, and scaling infrastructure to support new venues and market categories.

• Grow research tooling and infrastructure to support the business
• Implement trading signals and strategies
• Create infrastructure that allows the desk to efficiently capture market opportunity
• Take full ownership of the products you create, from prototype to stable production
• Work with both greenfield and legacy systems, primarily in Python
• Provide on-call support as needed

• A minimum of 2+ years' experience in Python, with the ability to work comfortably across multiple programming languages
• A track record of working directly with end customers, scoping and delivering production systems in fast-moving and ambiguous environments
• Experience building trade capture, position management, middle-office, or reconciliation systems
• Familiarity with real-time data processing and multi-venue environments
• Familiarity interacting with on-chain data
• Understanding of trading operations (order lifecycle, break resolution, audit trails, PnL calculation)
• Ability to dive deep into complex problems, develop intuitive understandings, spot risks early, and minimize complexity
• Exceptional interpersonal skills — you communicate clearly with traders, researchers, and other engineers, fostering a collaborative, supportive working environment
• Experience in the financial markets, crypto, or prediction markets is a plus
• Experience with linux-based, concurrent, high-throughput software systems
• Have a Bachelors or advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or equivalent work experience
