Careers

Be wrong in private. Be right in public.

We are a small, research-led trading firm working on one of the most interesting problems in markets: pricing the future of the real world, contract by contract.

Why event markets, why now

For most of financial history, the only things you could trade were claims on companies, commodities and currencies. Event contracts let markets price almost any well-defined question: an inflation print, an election, a heatwave, a final score. The category is young, growing quickly and still under-researched. Problems that were solved decades ago in equities are open questions here.

That makes it an unusually good place to do original work. Every model you build is tested against reality within days or weeks, not years. Every contract resolves, so there is nowhere to hide and nothing to argue about.

How we work

  • Small teams, real ownership. Researchers own categories end to end, from data to live P&L.
  • One codebase, one data layer. No walls between research and production.
  • Calibration over conviction. Strong opinions, scored honestly.
  • Integrity first. Strict information barriers; we would rather not trade than trade on an edge we should not have.

Questions

About working here.

Do I need finance experience to work at a prediction market trading firm?

No. Many of our best researchers came from physics, computer science, meteorology, political science or sports analytics. We teach markets; we hire for reasoning.

What is the interview process for quantitative researcher roles?

A short recruiter call, a probability and estimation screen, a take-home or live modelling exercise, and an on-site day of technical and market-intuition interviews. The whole process usually takes three to four weeks.

How are traders and researchers compensated?

Competitive base salary plus a discretionary bonus tied to individual and firm performance. We do not publish figures, but we benchmark against top-tier quantitative trading firms.

Can I work remotely?

Engineering roles in Prague are open to remote candidates within the EU. Trading and research roles are office-based with flexibility.

Do you sponsor visas?

Yes, for most roles in London and New York.
