Do you want to build models that get used in the real world? Have you ever applied your maths to beat complex, high-stakes prediction problems? Are you ready to join a high-performing team trading in global sports markets?

With a lean team and flat structure, you’ll own your work end-to-end — from research through to production — in an environment that values rigour, creativity, and impact. This is a chance to work directly with traders and researchers in a collaborative, non-corporate setup where your code and ideas will shape the future of their trading strategies.
