Software Engineer, Prediction Markets Platform

Crypto.com • New York, NY

9d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Software Engineer will help build the platform that lists and settles event contracts on Crypto.com’s CFTC-regulated exchange, covering sports, crypto, and other real-world events. The platform ingests data from sports and market providers, converts events into tradeable contracts, and settles them after events conclude. Since settlement moves real money, correctness and auditability are important alongside speed. The team is moving the platform from Python and Airflow to Go services built around Postgres.

The role involves building and operating Go backend services for listing and settling event contracts, migrating existing workflows to Go and durable job processing, developing data-provider integrations, and implementing settlement rules and edge cases. The engineer will contribute to design documents and code reviews, own features through production, build React/TypeScript operator tools, and participate in on-call and production debugging.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years building production backend services.
• Proficiency in Go, or strong experience in another backend language and a clear willingness to work primarily in Go.
• Hands-on Postgres experience, including schema design, writing efficient queries, transactions, and migrations.
• Understanding of concurrency, idempotency, and failure handling in distributed systems.
• A record of shipping and running services independently.
• Clear communication and an interest in growing into technical leadership.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with prediction markets, sportsbooks, exchanges, or sports data feeds.
• Experience with payments, ledgers, or other money-related systems.
• Experience with Redis, Kafka, or Postgres-backed job queues such as River or similar.
• Experience with Python and Airflow.
• Experience with React/TypeScript.
• Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD.
• Startup experience.

Responsibilities

• Build and run Go backend services that list and settle event contracts around the clock.
• Move existing workflows from Python/Airflow to Go services and durable job processing.
• Build integrations with sports and market providers, carefully handling retries, duplicates, and late data.
• Implement settlement rules and edge cases, including corrections, cancellations, and voided markets, with thorough test coverage.
• Contribute to design documents and code reviews, and own features from design through production.
• Build React/TypeScript operator tools for manual listing, settlement, and approvals.
• Participate in on-call and help debug production issues end to end.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Attractive annual leave entitlement, including birthday and work anniversary leave.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Eligible for company-sponsored group health, dental, vision, and life/disability insurance.
• Flexible work hours and hybrid setup.
• Internal mobility program offering employees a diverse scope and career alternatives.
