Working at Wintermute

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.
