Prediction Markets Trader

About Wintermute

Wintermute is one of the largest algorithmic trading companies in digital assets. We provide algorithmic liquidity across all major cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, offer a broad range of OTC trading solutions, and support high-profile blockchain projects and traditional financial institutions moving into crypto. We are connected and partner with major players in the industry, actively participate in the development of the blockchain ecosystem through investments, partnerships, and incubation of projects.

What You Will Work On

You will be responsible for monitoring and trading prediction markets in real time across Kalshi, Polymarket, and other venues. You will implement strategies across categories such as sports, upDown markets, elections, and weather.

Predictions is a greenfield project within Wintermute, giving you significant freedom to build the system you want. You will need 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.
