Magic Eden

Location: United States (Remote)

Magic Eden became one of the fastest companies in history to reach unicorn status, just 9 months after launch. Built on a foundation of crypto-native expertise and in-house engineering, we moved fast and proved the model. Now we’re taking that same energy into the next chapter: Dicey, our crypto casino and sportsbook platform targeting the $180B+ iGaming and sports betting markets. ABOUT THE ROLE & WHY IT MATTERS As a founding member of Dicey’s Risk, Trading, and Operations function, you will act as the commercial pit boss of our platform. This is a high-ownership role managing pre-match and live sportsbook exposure. We need a sharp, high-conviction analyst who can instantly distinguish between standard recreational variance and exploitative sharp play. Balancing 360-degree cross-platform oversight across both Casino and Sportsbook, you will protect our bottom line and secure long-term margin sustainability without sacrificing customer experience. RESPONSIBILITIES REAL-TIME RISK & GAME MONITORING - Detect & Mitigate: Monitor live Sportsbook and Casino activity to swiftly neutralize sharp play, arbitrage, exploits, and bonus abuse. - Player Profiling: Track player profitability, betting patterns, and withdrawal velocity; manage risk actions like account restrictions or market adjustments. - Integrity Control: Analyze casino game outcomes against expected RTP to identify technical anomalies and multi-accounting. SPORTSBOOK & TRADING SUPPORT - Exposure Management: Monitor pre-match and in-play event exposure, liabilities, and market movements. - Trading Operations: Handle platform risk settings, manage feed providers, and execute bet reviews and limit adjustments. PAYMENTS, PROCESS & COLLABORATION - Fraud Prevention: Review high-risk withdrawals and suspicious payment patterns alongside the Fraud/Payments teams. - Optimization & Reporting: Build data-driven risk reports and refine automated alerting frameworks and risk rules. - Cross-Team Alignment: Work closely with Trading, VIP, Product, and Support, escalating critical incidents directly to the Risk Manager. WHAT YOU BRING - Experience: 6+ years in a Risk, Trading, or Fraud role within iGaming or Sports Betting. - Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of trading concepts (odds, liabilities, exposure) and casino mechanics (RTP, volatility). - Data & Anomaly Detection: Experience with data tools (Excel, SQL, BI) to rapidly spot sharp action and pricing inefficiencies. - Live Operations Mindset: Ability to make fast, commercial decisions in high-volume, 24/7 live environments (including shifts). - Composure & Communication: Clear articulation during escalations and a calm demeanor during high-pressure, peak-volume periods.
