    Turn real-world outcomes into decisions that are fast, consistent and defensible.

    The opportunity

    You will own the rules, data sources and operating systems used to resolve markets. The role sits at the intersection of product, data, operations, legal and risk: every resolution must be timely, auditable and consistent with the market’s published terms.

    What you will own

    • Design the resolution framework, source hierarchy, decision rights, service levels and exception process. • Create clear, testable resolution criteria before markets launch, reducing ambiguity and dispute risk. • Select and govern authoritative data providers, official sources and oracle mechanisms. • Build fallback procedures for delayed, corrected, conflicting or unavailable source data. • Automate high-confidence resolutions with product and engineering while preserving human oversight. • Lead disputed resolutions and maintain complete evidence and decision trails.

  • Head of Market Risk

    See position

    Design the controls that let ambitious markets grow safely.

    The opportunity

    You will build and lead the market-risk function. You will define the limits, models, monitoring and escalation mechanisms that protect the platform through normal conditions, market stress, data failures and unusual participant behaviour.

    What you will own

    • Develop the risk framework across exposure, liquidity, concentration, volatility, settlement and counterparties. • Set risk appetite, limits, triggers and escalation protocols for markets, participants and liquidity providers. • Build real-time dashboards and early-warning indicators with data, quantitative and engineering teams. • Design stress tests for extreme outcomes, correlated events, rapid information shocks and market closures. • Review new market categories, contract structures and liquidity programmes before approval. • Lead incident response for limit breaches, pricing anomalies, data failures and disorderly markets.

    What you bring

    • 10+ years in market risk, trading risk, exchange risk, clearing or quantitative risk. • Deep understanding of electronic trading, liquidity, exposure measurement, limit systems and stress testing. • Experience building or materially improving risk frameworks, models and management reporting. • Strong quantitative judgment when models and real-world conditions diverge. • Clear cross-functional communication and calm leadership during high-pressure events.

  • Market Analyst, Sports

    See position

    Run the sports desk on match day: thousands of markets, one queue, no surprises.

    The opportunity

    Most markets are listed and settled automatically. You handle the exceptions the machines cannot: ambiguous events, conflicting sources, unusual outcomes and anything that could reach a customer before it is right.

    What you will own

    • Work the match-day exceptions queue, including unmapped teams, moved events, duplicate listings and feed failures. • Monitor live markets so they open and close on time and do not remain open after an event starts. • Draft outcomes for approval when a result requires human interpretation, attaching clear reasoning and sources. • Review shipped markets from a user’s perspective and flag errors before they become incidents. • Turn recurring exceptions into clear tooling tickets for operations engineers.

    What you bring

    • Exceptional attention to detail and comfort making precise decisions under time pressure. • Experience in trading, sportsbook or exchange operations during evenings and weekends. • Strong knowledge of football and tennis calendars; expertise in another major sport is an advantage. • Confidence in queue-driven tools and concise operational writing. • Fluent English; additional languages or strong knowledge of major US sports are advantages. • About the team: You will join a small sports pod within the Markets desk and work closely with Risk, Settlement, Operators, Compliance and operations engineering.

    Why Hacksaw Markets

    • A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture. • An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital. • The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.

  • Markets Lead

    See position

    Define the rules, make the call and build the team that runs the market.

    The opportunity

    Markets are listed automatically against policies you own and resolved against rules you write. This role combines contract design with the first approval on the one-way decisions made by the Markets desk.

    What you will own

    • Write templates and rules that define each market type, its source and every material exception. • Own listing policies, whitelists, caps and restricted-market lists used by the automated pipeline. • Act as the second signature for outcomes, halts and voids proposed by analysts. • Hire, train and lead sports pods, then extend the operating model as new verticals launch. • Take part in the on-call rotation with Risk and operations leadership. • Define what the Markets desk tools must do before they are built.

    What you bring

    • Experience writing or settling event-contract or sportsbook market rules. • Leadership of a queue-based operations team through evenings, weekends and live incidents. • A policy mindset: you prefer approving a repeatable rule to handling the same listing twice. • Confidence defending a resolution to operators, market makers and regulators. • Fluent English; another major language is an advantage. • About the team: You will lead the Markets desk, beginning with sports pods and expanding into financial, political and long-tail markets as those verticals launch.

    Why Hacksaw Markets

    • A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture. • An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital. • The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.

  • Risk Lead

    See position

    Set the limits, watch the book and pull the handle when something looks wrong.

    The opportunity

    A shared order book creates a rare view of exposure across markets, operators and participants. At launch, you will cover operations risk, quantitative risk and surveillance, then grow the function into a round-the-clock desk.

    What you will own

    • Define limits across markets, operators and participants, plus the policies that trigger automatic or manual halts. • Halt markets, cancel trades or change limits when conditions require it, documenting each decision. • Design surveillance rules for insider patterns, wash trading and coordinated activity across operators. • Own margin methodology and stress testing until the quantitative function expands. • Write incident reviews that change a rule, a process or a tool. • Build the desk across operations risk, surveillance and quantitative risk.

    What you bring

    • Trading-risk or exchange-risk experience in an exchange, clearing house, sportsbook or trading environment. • First-hand experience halting a market and defending the decision afterwards. • Comfort with SQL and the judgment to recognise when a number is wrong. • The ability to write policies that engineers can implement and regulators can understand. • Fluent English and calm leadership under pressure. • About the team: You will lead the Risk desk alongside Markets, Settlement, Operators and Compliance, starting hands-on and building the team as the platform expands.

    Why Hacksaw Markets

    • A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture. • An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital. • The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.

  • Ops Risk Analyst (24/7 Seat)

    See position

    Watch a shared order book for the pattern nobody else has seen yet.

    The opportunity

    The Risk desk monitors exposure and market health around the clock. This is the live seat that acts on limit breaches, suspicious market conditions and operational exceptions when the clock is running.

    What you will own

    • Monitor live exposure across markets, operators and participants and act on limit breaches. • Work the halt-candidates queue for started events, silent feeds and prices that look wrong. • Monitor market-maker health and escalate widening spreads or sudden liquidity gaps. • Handle trade-cancellation requests and the required dual-control process. • Provide the second pair of eyes for critical Markets desk decisions during your shift. • Write a clear incident note whenever human intervention is required.

    What you bring

    • Experience monitoring live trading in an exchange, sportsbook or clearing operation. • Comfort with SQL, dashboards and tracing the number behind an alert. • Calm decision-making during overnight, weekend or high-intensity market activity. • Short, precise operational writing and fluent English. • About the team: You will join the Risk desk and work closely with the Markets team and settlement operations.

    Why Hacksaw Markets

    • A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture. • An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital. • The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.

  • Surveillance Analyst (Shifts)

    See position

    Find the trade that should not have happened - and prove it.

    The opportunity

    A shared order book reveals patterns that individual operators cannot see. You will investigate alerts, connect activity across data sources and create evidence that Compliance can act on.

    What you will own

    • Work alerts for insider patterns, wash trading and coordinated accounts alongside external integrity signals. • Match external alerts to order and position data, separating noise from cases that need investigation. • Open and document investigations with evidence attached so decisions stand up to scrutiny. • Feed false positives and missed activity back into surveillance rules with operations engineering. • Produce the surveillance contribution to regular integrity reporting.

    What you bring

    • Experience in trade surveillance, sports integrity, fraud or AML investigations within gaming, exchanges or fintech. • SQL skills and comfort reconstructing a sequence of trades from order-level data. • Clear investigation writing, discretion and sound judgment. • Fluent English and availability for evening and weekend coverage. • About the team: You will join the Risk desk and work closely with Compliance, data and operations engineering.

    Why Hacksaw Markets

    • A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture. • An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital. • The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.

    Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant market, system, product or operational challenge you have owned.

  • Quant Risk Analyst

    See position

    Decide how much collateral a shared order book needs - and show your work.

    The opportunity

    Every operator has a credit line and every market creates exposure. You will own the quantitative methods that protect the platform without immobilising more capital than necessary.

    What you will own

    • Own margin and collateral methodology for binary contracts across operators. • Build stress tests for correlated outcomes, large market volumes, data failures and counterparty stress. • Set and review position limits and accountability levels for market makers with a versioned history. • Calibrate the thresholds that determine how many approvals are required before funds move. • Turn quantitative methodology into specifications that engineers can implement.

    What you bring

    • Quantitative risk experience in an exchange, clearing house, sportsbook or trading firm. • Hands-on work with margin, stress testing, collateral or credit. • Strong Python or R and SQL skills, plus comfort with probability and correlated binary outcomes. • The ability to explain a model to non-quantitative leaders and regulatory stakeholders. • Fluent English and strong written documentation. • About the team: You will join the Risk desk and work daily with Settlement, Operators and operations engineering.

    Why Hacksaw Markets

    • A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture. • An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital. • The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.

Hacksaw Group

Hacksaw Group brings together businesses that develop games and technology for other companies. Hacksaw Gaming creates online casino games, while Hacksaw Markets is a B2B prediction-market platform for operators.

Hacksaw Group

Hacksaw Group is the wider group behind the businesses. Its parent company, Hacksaw AB, is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker HACK. The group supports its businesses with funding, technology and management. Each business has its own focus, but operates within the wider group. Hacksaw Gaming focuses on casino games, while Hacksaw Markets focuses on prediction-market technology. The group provides the company structure and support behind these different activities.

Hacksaw Gaming

Hacksaw Gaming develops online casino games and supplies them to other businesses. These businesses, called operators, make the games available through their own websites and apps. Players access the games through the operator's account and wallet. The operator manages the customer relationship, while Hacksaw Gaming supplies the games through the group's technology and distribution platform. For the player, a Hacksaw game is therefore part of the operator's service, even though another company developed and supplied it.

Hacksaw Markets

Hacksaw Markets is a B2B prediction-market platform that operators can use to offer prediction markets under their own brands. These markets let users buy and sell contracts linked to real-world events, such as the result of a match. The platform is designed to support the process from creating a market to confirming its result. This includes setting up markets with clear rules, matching buy and sell orders, checking trading activity and calculating payouts once the outcome is confirmed. It also keeps records so the teams running the service can follow what has happened. Operators can offer this product through their own websites or apps. They keep their brand, customer accounts and wallet, while Hacksaw Markets supplies the underlying technology. Users therefore access prediction markets through the operator, rather than through a separate Hacksaw consumer service. The model allows several operators to use the same core technology, instead of each company building these systems itself. Each launch still needs the necessary commercial agreements, technical connections and permissions for the markets it serves.
