Data Scientist, Market Making

THE POSITION Our roster has an opening with your name on it

From research and data collection through production deployment and monitoring, you will build and improve the predictive models and algorithmic decision systems that power automated pricing and trading. Working closely with algorithmic traders, quant engineers, and product teams, you will translate sports, market, and operational data into models that improve price quality, execution quality, market competitiveness, and risk management. This role requires flexibility around the sporting calendar, including occasional evenings, weekends, and holidays tied to major live events.

In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.
