Full Job Description
What will you work on

You will be responsible for monitoring and trading prediction markets in real time across Kalshi, Polymarket and other venues; implementing strategies across categories such as sports, upDown markets, elections and weather. You will be hands-on, improving the whole stack. Predictions is a greenfield project within Wintermute and you will have lots of freedom to build the system you want. You'll have to wear many hats and provide coverage for key events, for example major sports games where market activity is heightened, and can fall on evenings or weekends.

Hard Skills Requirements:

  • Strong Python skills - you have 1-3 years of experience coding in Python, be that through work, study or personal project experience - we will test!
  • Excellent quantitative and analytical skills - we will test!
  • Demonstrated interest in prediction markets - you are engaged in the space (personal trading, following major developments, contributing to discussions, etc.)
  • Have an owner mentality - you focus on the ultimate result - P&L for the company and strategically growing the business and Wintermute partnerships.
  • Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work; you do whatever it takes to do what's needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating).
  • Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way.
  • Like meritocracy and being judged by what you deliver.
  • Like working in a collaborative environment.


Here is why you should join our dynamic team:

  • Opportunity to work at the world's leading algorithmic trading firm in digital assets.
  • Engaging projects offering accelerated responsibilities and ownership growth compared to traditional finance environments.
  • A vibrant working culture with team events, celebrations and company wide team building events.
  • A cool office in the heart of New York City which often hosts some of the leading industry events.
  • For those based in Hong Kong, the role will be remote, but we would like some flexibility for occasional travel to Wintermute offices.
  • Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional yet with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial.
  • A performance-based compensation with a significant earning upside alongside standard perks like private medical insurance.


The Base Salary range for the role is included. Base salary is only one component of total compensation; all full-time, permanent positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and benefits, including paid leave and insurance.
