Develop and manage systematic strategies for odds dislocations, cross-venue arbitrage, and event lifecycle pricing.
Build pre-event, in-play, and post-settlement trading playbooks with clear risk controls.
Monitor order books, liquidity shifts, oracle behavior, and settlement mechanics to capture edge while minimizing tail risk.
Partner with engineers to improve low-latency execution, quoting systems, and monitoring dashboards.

Deep understanding of market microstructure, probability/odds modeling, and risk management.
Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python preferred; Rust/C++/Java acceptable) for rapid prototyping and production collaboration.
Experience with onchain execution constraints (gas, mempool dynamics, slippage, bridge/settlement risk, smart contract risk).
Strong communication and collaboration skills with quant, engineering, risk teams and business stakeholders.

Nice to Have

Sports modeling experience (team/player priors, injury/news impact, implied probability calibration).
Familiarity with CEX/DEX hedging workflows and delta-neutral risk frameworks.
