- Build frameworks for backtesting, simulation, and model validation
- Create tools to monitor model performance, calibration, P&L attribution, and live trading outcomes
- Help define the tooling, workflow, and research standards for a new team
Requirements:
- Strong quantitative background in statistics, math, ML, economics, or a related field
- Experience building models in trading, sports, betting, prediction markets, or similar domains
- Strong Python/data skills and comfort owning data pipelines as well as modeling

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
