About the Team

The Suspensions team is responsible for the framework, monitoring, and analysis behind how markets are suspended and resumed — from the moment a market opens pregame through live gameplay to close. A few examples of what the team owns: real-time event processing that triggers suspensions off live game state, monitoring and alerting on suspension/resumption latency and failures, tooling that reconstructs and audits what happened during a specific suspension event, and rate/downtime metrics that describe how well suspension coverage is performing across sports and markets. The team works directly in Python and Rust across this stack, and partners closely with data science, trading, and engineering teams whose systems intersect with suspension logic.

Responsibilities

• Investigate individual incidents and requests end-to-end, working directly with raw production data and systems to determine root cause and recommend resolution

• Build and maintain metrics that measure system health and performance over time, using statistical methods as the core analytical approach, while also producing clear descriptive reporting for stakeholders

• Contribute directly to the team's core framework and tooling, making investigation and measurement work more repeatable and less bespoke over time

• Operate independently on ambiguous, partially-scoped problems, identifying the right cross-functional partners (data science, engineering, trading) when a problem crosses team boundaries

• Work with real-time, event-driven data to reconstruct and explain system behavior during live events

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Data Science, or similar major

• Minimum of 4 years of professional software engineering experience, including production systems

• Minimum of 2 years of experience with Python, including data extraction, wrangling, and analysis

• Minimum of 1 year of experience with Rust in a production environment

• Experience building and maintaining software that runs in production against real-world data — not just prototypes, one-off scripts, or notebook-based analysis

• Strong SQL skills and direct experience working with raw/source data (logs, event streams, production tables)

• Experience taking on open-ended problems with limited upfront direction — figuring out the right questions to ask, who else needs to be involved, and driving the work to a conclusion without needing the problem pre-scoped for you

• Genuine statistical/quantitative reasoning skills — comfortable building rigorous, defensible measures of system behavior

Preferred

Experience with event-driven or real-time data systems (e.g., Kafka or comparable)

Background in analytics engineering, applied statistics, or a hybrid data/software role

Exposure to sports, sports betting, or trading concepts (helpful, not required)

Base salary: Starting at $150,000 base to DOE
