Question 1

Question 2

How much do prediction market engineers make?

Accepted Answer

Prediction market engineers earn a median total salary of $191,250, with a typical posted range of $100,000 to $266,325. Engineering is the highest-paying category in the prediction markets industry; senior software, infrastructure, and data engineering roles at platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket sit at the top end, while junior and IT-adjacent positions anchor the lower end.

Question 3

How much do prediction market operations roles pay?

Accepted Answer

Operations roles in prediction markets earn a median salary of $115,000, with a typical range of $70,000 to $250,000. The range is wide because operations covers very different functions: senior strategic-finance, AI-ops, and platform-operations roles sit at the top end; customer-success, fraud, and administrative roles sit near the lower end.

Question 4

How much do prediction market traders and quants make?

Accepted Answer

Quant and trading roles in prediction markets span $75,000 to $200,000 in posted base salary. The lower end covers entry-level sports-trader and junior quant roles; the upper end covers founding-quant and algorithmic-trading-manager positions. Performance bonuses and equity often add significantly on top of base — and seven-figure totals are normal at top-tier quant firms outside the prediction-markets-pure-play companies.

Question 5

Are prediction market jobs remote?

Accepted Answer

Most prediction market roles are onsite (median $175,000) or hybrid (median $117,500). Fully remote roles do exist and pay $100,000 to $215,000, but they’re a smaller share of postings. Onsite roles trend higher because they cluster in New York and Chicago, where engineering pay is highest.

Question 6

Do prediction market companies pay well compared to tech or finance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The median posted salary is $175,000 — in the same range as senior software engineering pay at mid-tier US tech companies, and competitive with fintech. It trails top-tier quant trading firms, where seven-figure pay is normal at senior levels, but exceeds typical pay at sports betting and gaming operators.
