About the role

Company Overview: Swish Analytics is a sports analytics, betting and fantasy startup building the next generation of predictive sports analytics data products. We believe that oddsmaking is a challenge rooted in engineering, mathematics, and sports betting expertise; not intuition. We're looking for team-oriented individuals with an authentic passion for accurate and predictive real-time data who can execute in a fast-paced, creative, and continually-evolving environment without sacrificing technical excellence. Our challenges are unique, so we hope you are comfortable in uncharted territory and passionate about building systems to support products across a variety of industries and consumer/enterprise clients.

Strategically research & track verified news sources, being the first to uncover important news and understand the overall impact on betting markets
Independently analyze betting trends in a scientific process, turning data into quantifiable trading actions

Requirements:

Minimum of 3 years demonstrated sports trading or betting experience - this can come from time at an exchange, prediction market, independent/proprietary trading, or a documented track record of +EV, model-driven betting
Deep understanding of sports betting, odds origination, and live in-play pricing dynamics
High degree of expertise in NHL trading plus a broad sports market knowledge of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA Football/Basketball, soccer, and tennis
Strong mathematical, statistical, and/or analytical skills - ability to build and test betting models, calculate and convert odds/EV on the fly

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
