Job description

Company Overview
Swish Analytics is a sports analytics, betting, and fantasy startup building the next generation of predictive sports data products. We believe that oddsmaking is a challenge rooted in engineering, mathematics, and sports expertise, not intuition. We are looking for team-oriented individuals with an authentic passion for accurate, predictive, real-time data who can execute in a fast-paced, creative, and continually evolving environment without sacrificing technical excellence.
Our challenges are unique, so we hope you are comfortable in uncharted territory and passionate about building high-performance pricing and trading systems.
Job Description
Swish is looking for a highly analytical Sports Trading Analyst to help strengthen and scale our sports pricing and trading operation.
In this role, you will work at the intersection of sports intelligence, pricing strategy, and live market behaviour. You will help manage and improve real-time pricing across a range of sports and market types, with a particular focus on market aware price discovery, risk management and the identification of actionable trading signals from market activity.
This role is suited to someone with strong quantitative reasoning, excellent decision-making under pressure, and a deep interest in how markets are formed, odds move, and how to engineer accurate pricing in the competitive sports betting environment.
You will work in a geographically dispersed team alongside experienced traders, quants, data scientists, and engineers, with colleagues based across Europe and the US.
Duties
  • Monitor live sports markets and market activity in real time across a range of sports and market types
  • Support the calibration and refinement of prices using market signals, statistical models, competitor benchmarking, and event-driven information
  • Help improve pricing quality through the analysis of market behaviour, price sensitivity, liquidity patterns, and reaction speed to new information
  • Contribute to the development, testing, and refinement of quantitative models by applying your understanding of live market dynamics and pricing behaviour
  • Own and manage real-time trading risk, including exposure monitoring, liability controls, and disciplined decision-making across concurrent events
  • Collaborate with engineering on trading and pricing infrastructure, including API integrations, automated monitoring, alerting, anomaly detection, and execution tooling
  • Work closely with Sports Trading teams to interpret breaking news, lineups, injuries, team news, and other event-specific developments to ensure timely and accurate price updates
  • Identify model discrepancies, edge cases, and structural inefficiencies in pricing workflows, escalating and documenting findings for Data Science and Data Engineering teams
  • Help evaluate market opportunities, prioritise resources across sports and competitions, and improve operational processes as the trading function scales
  • Detect sharp or informative market activity and ensure useful signals are fed back into Swish's proprietary models and pricing systems
  • Communicate effectively with internal Sports Trading teams responsible for maintaining and improving our core sportsbook pricing models
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a quantitative or analytical discipline (Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Quantitative Finance, or similar), or equivalent practical experience
  • Must have demonstrated professional experience in exchange-style environments, sports trading, sports betting, market-making, quantitative trading, or other closely related domains where fast price formation and disciplined execution matter
  • Strong grounding in probability, statistics, and expected value, with the ability to reason clearly about fair price, uncertainty, and risk
  • Strong understanding of sports betting fundamentals, including odds formats (decimal, fractional, American), implied probability conversion, expected value, and closing line value
  • Demonstrated ability to make high-quality decisions under time pressure with incomplete information during live events
  • Comfortable working autonomously across global event schedules, including weekends and major tournament periods
  • Fluent in English, written and spoken, with clear communication skills in a distributed and asynchronous team environment
Preferred (but not essential)
  • Track record of building and backtesting quantitative models using real historical data; GitHub, notebooks, or demonstrable analytical work is highly valued
  • Deep domain knowledge across high-turnover sporting verticals such as NBA, NFL, and Soccer
  • Understanding of relational database systems (MySQL or equivalent) for analysis of prices, outcomes, and trading decisions
  • Familiarity with market microstructure concepts such as adverse selection, inventory risk, liquidity dynamics, queue positioning, or execution quality
  • Experience using Python for quantitative research, exploratory data analysis, prototyping, or model improvement
  • Experience using modern AI tools to accelerate analysis, research, and modelling workflows
Why Join
This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in a growing and well-resourced sports trading operation. The successful candidate will help shape process, tooling, and decision-making within a team focused on high-quality pricing, efficient execution, and long-term product excellence across multiple sports verticals.
