Applicants need analytical ability, betting-market knowledge, precise execution, and willingness to work day, evening, weekend, and overnight shifts.
About the Role
Markets never sleep and at White Swan Data we analyse markets 24/7, 365 days a year. As we continue to expand our execution capability across exchange platforms and prediction markets, we are hiring for multiple roles within our trading team, spanning both entry-level and experienced profiles.
We are looking for high-energy, curious individuals with an interest in betting markets and data-driven decision making. Prior trading or betting market experience is a strong advantage, particularly for more senior positions. However, we also welcome applications from high-potential candidates at an earlier stage in their career who demonstrate strong analytical thinking, commercial awareness and a proactive mindset.
These roles sit within our in-house trading team. Successful applicants will contribute to live market execution, performance monitoring and process development. Availability for day, evening and weekend shifts is required, with a particular focus on the US sporting schedule. We are an ambitious company, meaning there is considerable opportunity for you to make a niche for yourself and to progress within the business.
