Junior Events Trader

🚀 Helping Quants & PMs elevate their career | Find the Future

Junior Events Trader | CME Event Markets | Ground Floor Opportunity

The Opportunity

A successful US-based market making firm is launching a pioneering desk focused on event markets trading via CME—one of only a handful of firms with access to 7-day Event Markets (similar to Kalshi and Polymarket, but through regulated exchanges).

They're building a team of 5 junior traders to establish a first‑mover advantage in this emerging space.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't your standard trading position. You're joining at the absolute ground floor of what could become a significant new market, or you're part of an experiment that doesn't pan out. Either way, you'll know within 12 months.

If you're someone who:

• Gets energized by prediction markets and event‑driven trading
• Wants equity‑like upside without waiting years to prove yourself
• Prefers being a pioneer over joining an established desk
• Can handle uncertainty in exchange for asymmetric opportunity

...this could be the role you've been looking for.

Compensation

Year 1: $60-120K USD guaranteed base

Year 2+:
If the desk succeeds, expect multiples of your base as the market scales

What We're Looking For

• Interest in event markets, prediction markets, or unique trading opportunities
• Willingness to take calculated career risk for outsized reward
• Work authorization in one of the listed locations
• Analytical mindset and quick learner mentality
