About the Team

Fanatics Markets is the real-money prediction and trading app where you can invest in moments you care about. Built on a secure platform, it lets users predict real-world outcomes and trade on events they actually follow - from sports and entertainment to political elections and beyond. Its mission is to redefine how fans engage with the moments and markets that matter most. We're looking for the right people to help us build the future of prediction markets.

We’re hiring for our Market Making team that sits outside the Fanatics Markets application’s operation, working independently with a third-party exchange and clearinghouse. The Market Maker provides liquidity across prediction markets — making every market feel deep, competitive, and tradeable — while managing its own P&L as an independent business line within the org. The Market Maker controls its data ingestion, pricing engine, order management, PnL and risk monitoring, and the internal Trading UI its traders rely on around the clock.

The market making team is small, moves fast, and deploys to production daily. We're expanding coverage across every major sport, market type, and event available to trade. World Cup 2026 is our next major milestone, and the NFL season follows close behind.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to be the technical anchor of the Market Making platform — the person who goes deepest on the hardest problems, sets the bar for how we build, and ensures our architecture can scale as we expand to new sports, market types, and exchange venues. This is a high-ownership IC role at the intersection of distributed systems and quantitative finance, where the output of your work shows up directly in daily P&L.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and technical integrity of the market making platform — pricing engine, order management, data pipelines, PnL infrastructure — ensuring every critical component is reliable, performant, and extensible.
• Drive the hardest cross-domain technical initiatives end-to-end: from design through production, including the exchange abstraction layer being built for our in-house exchange and the pricing infrastructure needed to move beyond OddsFactory toward independent market making.
