Software Engineer - Prediction Markets
About the Company
4C Software is a prediction markets company powering high-volume sports trading infrastructure through our platforms 4casters and 4cx. Over the last 12 months, more than $1B has been traded across our systems. We’re a profitable team of fewer than 10 people who have been building in prediction markets since 2017, and we’re on pace for $2M–$3M in revenue this year. We ship quickly, work with minimal bureaucracy, and expect engineers to operate with autonomy and take ownership of the features they build.
We are looking for an engineer who has personal experience using sportsbooks or prediction markets and is based in, or willing to relocate to, Chicago.

- Experience working with 3rd party APIs and data feeds
- Ability to pick up new technologies and learn on the fly

- Strong instincts diagnosing problems in real time
What you’ll do
- Learn directly from the person who built much of the exchange
- Expand what users can trade and improve how markets behave
- Build infrastructure for new market types like esports, futures, and props
- Improve live betting systems and real time market behavior
- Work on market creation, start times, suspensions, and life cycle rules.
- Take ownership over your work, including monitoring, deployment, debugging, and paths for future improvements
