Senior Software Engineer, Prediction Markets Platform

As a Senior Software Engineer on Crypto.com's Prediction Markets Platform team, you own the design and operation of backend services that list and settle event contracts on a CFTC-regulated exchange. You'll lead the migration of business-critical workflows from Python and Airflow to Go services built around Postgres, handling sports, crypto, and real-world events. Since settlement moves real money, correctness and auditability matter as much as speed.

What you'll do

• Own the design of Go backend services that list and settle event contracts around the clock
• Lead the move of business-critical workflows from Python/Airflow to Go services and durable job processing without breaking live markets
• Design pipelines that take in data from multiple providers, match the same event across them, and reconcile differences accurately and idempotently
• Build settlement logic that holds up when things go wrong, including late or corrected results, cancellations, voided markets, provider outages, and race conditions
• Write and review design docs, set engineering standards, and lead technical decisions across teams
• Mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and design feedback
• Take part in on-call, lead incident response, and remove the causes of recurring incidents
• Work with trading, operations, compliance, and product teams across time zones

What you bring

• 5+ years building and running production backend systems, with ownership from design through on-call
• Strong skills in Go, or deep experience in another backend language plus a clear willingness to work primarily in Go
• Deep Postgres knowledge, including schema design, migrations, query performance, transactions, and isolation levels
• Experience designing distributed systems, including concurrency, idempotency, retries, at-least-once processing, and failure handling
• A record of leading projects that span teams and making sound architecture trade-offs
• Clear writing, good judgment, and comfort when requirements are unclear

Nice to have

• Experience with prediction markets, sportsbooks, exchanges, or sports data feeds such as OpticOdds, LSports, StatsPerform, or Sportradar
• Experience with ledgers, payments, settlement, or other systems where money is on the line
• Redis, Kafka, or Postgres-backed job queues such as River
• Python and Airflow experience, which would help with the migration
• React and TypeScript
• AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD
• Experience in regulated environments, such as CFTC/DCM or FINRA
• Startup or zero-to-one experience

What we offer

• Competitive salary
• Attractive annual leave entitlement, including birthday and work anniversary
• 401(k) plan with employer match
• Company-sponsored group health, dental, vision, and life/disability insurance
• Flexible work hours and hybrid work setup
• Internal mobility program for career development
