Early-career backend engineer to own infrastructure pipelines for live markets in a prediction market platform.
Обязанности
- The Markets Engineering team owns the infrastructure that keeps thousands of live markets accurate, up-to-date, and resolving correctly in real time — automation pipelines, external data integrations, and lifecycle systems that run continuously across a catalog spanning politics, sports, economics, and breaking news. When this layer works well, traders trust the platform. When it doesn't, markets go stale, resolution breaks, and confidence erodes fast.
- We're hiring an early-career backend engineer to join the Markets automation team and own meaningful pieces of this infrastructure from day one. You'll work alongside senior engineers, but this is not a support role — you'll own well-scoped pipelines end-to-end, ship to production within your first few weeks, and take on broader ownership as you grow. The problems are concrete, the feedback loops are short, and the stakes are real.
- Build and maintain automation pipelines that handle market creation, parameter configuration, and lifecycle updates across thousands of concurrent markets
- Integrate sports APIs, news feeds, and other external data sources that drive market creation and resolution, including handling the messy, inconsistent data that comes with real vendors
- Design pipelines for reliability, idempotency, safe re-runs, and fast failure detection through monitoring and alerting
- Contribute to the data-driven systems that resolve markets accurately and on time
- Debug production failures across markets infrastructure, often under time pressure, with senior support available
- Review code and participate in design discussions as a full member of the engineering team
Требования
- 1–4 years of professional backend engineering experience, or equivalent evidence such as strong internships combined with serious personal projects
- Proficiency in TypeScript, Python, or Go — genuinely strong in at least one and able to move in the others
- Hands-on experience integrating third-party APIs and working with real-world data that is inconsistent, delayed, or poorly documented
- Evidence that you ship: a production job, public repositories with real code, or personal projects that are actually running
- Comfort with AI-native development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor — this is part of how we work, not optional
- Ownership mindset — you want to run what you build and you care when things break
- Comfort on Linux and with cloud tooling, or a clear track record of picking up new infrastructure quickly
- (Plus) Personal projects built on , Kalshi, or other prediction market APIs
- (Plus) Exposure to queues, streaming systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ), or workflow engines
- (Plus) Genuine interest in prediction markets, sports, or trading
