Cricket Trader, Greater London

Mustard Systems is a company that specializes in statistical modeling of sports events. Using proprietary datasets, statistical models, and in-house software, we aim to predict sports results as accurately as possible.

We are searching for an individual to join our team who is numerically adept, willing to learn, and has a genuine passion for cricket. You will receive on-the-job training in the art of trading, with a view to having a very hands-on management of our strategies across domestic, franchise, and international cricket.

If questions such as “How many runs does Jos Buttler add to the England T20 team? How does this change if he opens or bats at 5?” intrigue you, this may well be the job for you.

We offer the successful candidate a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, providing fresh challenges that are both rewarding and enjoyable. Our ambitions are high, aiming to create best-in-class offerings in a highly competitive field.

The role will entail:

• Making fast, accurate interpretations of live cricket, including both factual and opinion-based readings.
• Working with our mathematicians and software developers to improve our trading systems.
• Working variable hours (including evenings, nights, and weekends) in accordance with the global cricket calendar.

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

• Strong mental calculation and an instinct for the probability of given outcomes.
• A deep understanding of cricket and the factors that affect the outcome of events, developed through close following of the sport over the last few years.
• Professional/personal experience of value-based betting (preferred).
• Collaborate with a smart, driven team, where your contributions directly impact business performance.
• Opportunity to drive the company’s technical direction and double its revenue in the next three years.
• Competitive salary and significant bonus potential (up to 30%).
• Enhanced pension match with salary sacrifice option.
• Health insurance and life assurance.
• Sabbatical leave after five years.
• 33 days of annual leave (including bank holidays).
