About Our Client

A newly set up prediction market platform in Asia. HQ in the US, Hong Kong is Asian hub to develop their APAC makret.

Job Description
  • Develop and refine our market-making and liquidity strategies using a proven foundational framework.
  • Build probabilistic pricing models and forecasting systems for diverse event markets.
  • Monitor real-time news, data, and market dynamics to update pricing and quoting logic.
  • Diagnose anomalies, intervene when needed, and feed insights back into systematic improvements.
  • Own the pipeline from research prototype to production deployment.
  • Scale into a leadership role as you build a world-class quant research and engineering team.
The Successful Applicant

Must-Have
  • Experience in prediction markets, sports betting, event derivatives, or similar event-driven markets.
  • Strong foundations in probability, statistics, and model calibration.
  • Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries.
  • Full-stack quant strategy experience (data → modeling → backtesting → live trading).
  • Comfort operating independently in a fast-moving startup environment.
  • Fluent in Mandarin and English
Nice to Have
  • Experience with market-making, HFT, or automated trading systems.
  • Familiarity with market microstructure or order-flow analysis.
  • Exposure to Hong Kong or APAC market environments.
  • Prior leadership experience in quant or research teams.
How to be a successful candidate:
  • You care about models that work in production, not just models that look elegant.
  • You have real market intuition - you know when a discrepancy is noise or signal.
  • You thrive in ambiguity and make sound decisions without perfect data.
  • You embrace full-stack ownership, from data to deployment.
What's on Offer

You'll shape the core engine of a platform from the ground up, influence product direction, and grow into a leadership position as the company scales. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to build, innovate, and lead in a frontier market space.
