Overview
We are seeking a highly analytical and technically strong Trader with deep expertise in prediction markets and real-time modeling. The ideal candidate combines strong trading intuition, robust statistical and programming skills, and the ability to translate ambiguous problems into structured, high-quality models that drive profitable decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop complex models to generate real-time fair values for intricate, uncertain domains (e.g., weather, event-driven outcomes, or probabilistic systems)
- Identify edge cases, structural pitfalls, and modeling risks, proactively addressing them to ensure robustness and operational stability
- Assess data needs and sourcing strategies, determining what inputs are required for accurate forecasting and collaborating with relevant teams to acquire them
- Build initial model prototypes in Python, using libraries such as pandas and numpy, and partner closely with developers to productionize these models for real-world trading
- Monitor, validate, and iterate on production models, ensuring strong performance and continuously improving predictive accuracy and trading outcomes
- Identify, evaluate, and execute market-take opportunities arising from model insights and prediction-market dynamics
- Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize trading strategies, enhance infrastructure, and scale automated decision-making
What we’re looking for
- Strong understanding of trading concepts, decision science, and probabilistic reasoning
- Extensive experience with prediction markets, including market structure, pricing mechanics, and liquidity dynamics
- Proficiency in Python, with deep working knowledge of pandas and numpy
- Ability to think critically about uncertainty, model assumptions, and real-world edge cases
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with traders, developers, and data teams
What’s In It For You
- Relaxed dress code (jeans and sneakers are the norm and team jerseys every Friday)
- Fully stocked kitchens for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages
- A 40,000 square-foot state of the art fitness facility with brand-new equipment, multi-purpose courts, group exercise classes, and locker room spaces
- Discounts for dining, entertainment, shopping, travel, and attractions
- Social events such as a poker tournament, holiday party, company outings, and more
- On-site Wellness Center
- On-site services such as a mailroom, barber, dry cleaning, and car maintenance
- Opportunities to give back to the community through Susquehanna sponsored events and donation drives
