About the Role

We’re looking for a skilled and experienced Live Trader to trade CS2 matches while also understanding other key shooter titles like Valorant, Rainbow Six, and more.

This is a hands-on and dynamic role where you will trade matches using in-house mathematical models, making real-time adjustments to ensure markets stay balanced and competitive. You will need to quickly identify when the model isn’t performing optimally and adjust the pricing to maintain 100% uptime for general trading activities.

For top-tier events, you’ll be expected to trade with 95%+ uptime, setting the pricing independently, without relying on external reference sources. In addition to managing live trading, you’ll provide critical feedback on model performance, fine-tuning strategies to optimize market efficiency.

What you will do 

  • Live trade CS2 and other FPS matches using in-house pricing models across all tiers

  • Monitor the model’s performance, identifying issues and adjusting pricing to ensure competitive and balanced markets

    Feedback on models, pricing and industry trends to relevant stakeholders

  • Mentor junior traders and contribute to trading best practices

    Conduct post-match reviews to refine predictive models and future forecasts

  • Offering insights on FPS titles based on deep knowledge and interest in specific areas

  • Support continuous improvement in trading processes, tools, and automation

Your skills will include

  • 3+ years experience in esports trading, preferably with a strong focus on CS

  • Deep understanding of FPS esports titles, including game mechanics, tournament formats, teams, meta, and results

  • Proven track record in live trading and risk management

  • Strong mathematical understanding of probabilities and expected value

  • Analytical mindset and strong attention to detail

  • Ability to make quick, accurate judgments based on live match data

  • Flexible availability to match global esports schedules

Nice to Have
