Have you independently live traded CS2 matches using in-house models, adjusting pricing in real time without external odds references?
Do you have hands-on experience identifying underperforming live pricing models and manually correcting markets to maintain high uptime (95%+ for top-tier events)?
Have you actively traded multiple FPS esports titles (CS2, Valorant, Rainbow Six, or similar) and used game-specific knowledge to inform live pricing decisions?
If the answers to the above questions are yes, then this role could be ideal for you!
We’re looking for a skilled and experienced Live Trader to trade CS2 matches while also understanding other key shooter titles like Valorant, Rainbow Six, and more.
This is a hands-on and dynamic role where you will trade matches using in-house mathematical models, making real-time adjustments to ensure markets stay balanced and competitive.

For top-tier events, you’ll be expected to trade with 95%+ uptime, setting the pricing independently, without relying on external reference sources. In addition to managing live trading, you’ll provide critical feedback on model performance, fine-tuning strategies to optimize market efficiency.
