Working in sports betting and prediction markets

The U.S. sports betting industry has grown from effectively zero in 2018 to a multi-billion-dollar regulated category in just six years following the Supreme Court's PASPA decision. Sports betting operators (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics, Caesars Sportsbook) and DFS / pick-em platforms (Underdog, PrizePicks, Sleeper) now collectively employ tens of thousands of people across product, engineering, data science, trading, marketing, compliance, customer experience, and content. The newer prediction-market category — Kalshi, Polymarket — has emerged from the regulatory frontier of CFTC-regulated event contracts and is hiring aggressively in similar functions.

Sports betting and prediction-market companies hire on a tech-company calendar (continuous, not seasonal) and at tech-company compensation rates. They are the highest-paying corner of the sports industry by a wide margin for analytics, software engineering, product, and data science roles — total compensation packages at senior individual contributor and engineering manager levels can match Big Tech. Compliance, regulatory, and risk functions are unique to this category and have grown substantially as more states have legalized.

Common role types

• Software engineering (frontend, backend, mobile, infrastructure, ML platform)
• Data science, machine learning engineering, applied analytics
• Trading, quantitative research, market-making, line-setting
• Product management, design, UX research
• Growth marketing, performance marketing, lifecycle / CRM
• Brand marketing, content, social, video production
• Compliance, regulatory affairs, risk, fraud / AML
• Customer experience, support operations
• Sponsorship, partnerships, league relationships
• Corporate functions (finance, legal, HR, IT, security)
• Sportsbook operations and retail (for operators with on-premise sportsbooks)

How sports betting companies post jobs

Sports betting and prediction-market operators use modern, tech-company applicant tracking systems. The most common platforms are Greenhouse (DraftKings, FanDuel, several others), Lever (Underdog, PrizePicks, additional operators), and Ashby (newer-generation operators including some prediction-market firms). A handful use Workday, especially the larger combined gaming companies (Caesars, BetMGM via parent MGM Resorts), and some use SmartRecruiters or BambooHR.

Because operators in this category hire continuously rather than around a single season, postings turn over more frequently than at sports teams, and competitive openings (particularly in trading and quant research) tend to fill within weeks. SportsCareers indexes every publicly-posted role from every major operator's ATS into one feed alongside team-side MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLS jobs.

Compensation reality

Compensation at sports betting and prediction-market operators is the highest in the broader sports industry by a wide margin for technical roles. Entry-level software engineers at the major operators start at $115,000–$145,000 base plus equity. Mid-level engineers $160,000–$220,000 total comp; senior $220,000–$340,000+; staff and engineering manager roles can exceed $400,000 total comp at the largest operators. Data science and quant research follow similar scales. Product management mirrors engineering. Marketing and growth roles are highly variable but trend higher than team-side equivalents. Non-technical operations and corporate functions are competitive with comparable D2C / consumer-tech companies but generally below what teams pay at the senior business-leadership level.
