We are looking for an Automation Engineer to sit within our Exchange Operations (ExOps) team and own the technical infrastructure that powers our prediction market lifecycle. This is a builder’s role: you will identify manual workflows, design automated solutions, and ship tools that make our operations faster, more accurate, and more resilient.

You understand prediction market mechanics and have a strong enough domain sense to know what needs to be automated and why—not just how. You will work closely with the broader ExOps team to translate operational pain points into robust pipelines and tooling.

Develop AI-assisted tooling for outcome verification, edge case detection, and settlement rule drafting—leveraging LLM APIs and prompt engineering where appropriate.

Manage cron jobs and scheduled tasks; monitor pipeline health and respond to failures in production.

Instrument observability: logging, alerting, and audit trails that meet CFTC regulatory standards.

Partner with ExOps team members to identify manual processes and systematically eliminate them.

Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving environment with live production stakes.

Preferred Background

Experience at a sportsbook, DFS platform, sports data company, or CFTC-regulated exchange.

Hands-on experience with AI tooling—LLM API integration, prompt engineering, or building AI-assisted decision workflows.

Familiarity with sports data providers such as Sportradar or Genius Sports.

Knowledge of CFTC regulatory requirements or market surveillance practices.

Experience with FIX protocol or financial exchange infrastructure.

Background in political forecasting data, macroeconomic data sources (BLS, Fed, ECB), or event-driven settlement systems.
