  • 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

  • Proven track record in live trading and risk management

  • Strong mathematical understanding of probabilities and expected value
