Quantitative Research & Development Working Student
Part-timeRemote or on siteDuring your studies
Own a bounded prediction market research or engineering project alongside your studies.
The work
Turn a trading idea into a clear hypothesis and decide what evidence would support or reject it.
Work with our proprietary research package, which provides convenient access to real historical prediction market data.
Iterate quickly in a backtesting environment designed for fast research under realistic assumptions.
Once the evidence for an edge is convincing, test the strategy in a live environment and learn from real market behavior.
Projects are scoped to finish within a semester.
What we look for
Currently enrolled at a university.
Comfortable in Python and with messy time-series data.
Hands-on, intrinsically motivated and comfortable owning an open-ended problem.
Enough weekly hours to hold context; two focused days are better than scattered evenings.
How we work
You will have room to own the problem and decide how to solve it. We expect you to tell us when you disagree, and we will do the same. Feedback is ongoing, with a proper two-way conversation every two weeks. If you want to move beyond what you already know, we will find work that stretches you and give you the context and support to do it well.
