Job description
RTK Tickets is a dynamic and rapidly expanding operation at the intersection of entertainment, technology, and trading. From buzzer-beaters and sold-out stadiums to front-row concerts, we provide a comprehensive platform for buying, selling, and optimizing access to live events — and increasingly, other high-demand assets.
We’re a fast-moving, data-driven brokerage redefining how markets are priced, traded, and optimized across entertainment and emerging asset classes. What began as a two-person idea has evolved into a 20-person team built on passion, precision, and performance.
Now, we’re looking for an Quantitative Analyst to help us push our technology, modeling, and analytics to the next level. If you’re excited by fast-changing markets, real-time data, and applying technical skills to real-world decision-making across tickets and beyond, you could be a great fit for our team.
What You’ll Do
As a Quantitative Analyst , you’ll help turn data into decisions. Working side-by-side with our risk team, you’ll analyze market trends, build predictive models, and support the internal tools that drive how we buy and sell tickets.
You’ll learn how live markets operate — where the data comes from, how pricing decisions are made, and how we manage risk across thousands of events. You’ll also help test and improve the systems that power our daily operations, ensuring the team understands their value and uses them effectively.
This is a hands-on role combining analysis, communication, and creativity — where your work directly impacts how we operate.
Your Day-to-Day
Monitor live market behavior and flag dislocations or mispriced inventory
Help tune the logic that decides when to hold, reprice, or unload positions
Analyze datasets to uncover pricing trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities
Help build and refine models that forecast demand and optimize offers
Support the risk team with real-time data analysis and performance tracking
Communicate and document updates to internal tools and processes
Collaborate with engineers to test enhancements and refine system performance
Present your findings clearly to both technical and non-technical teammates
What You Bring
Strong analytical foundation, self-starter, and curious about markets
Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Excel — required. Golang and R a plus.
Interest in market microstructure, particularly how order books and auction mechanisms work, even from outside domains (trading, sports betting, prediction markets)
Comfort with reasoning under uncertainty, a Bayesian mindset
Basic grounding in probability and statistics, particularly with expected value, variance, and distributions rather than just abstract analytics
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Finance, Economics, Statistics, or a related field
1–3 years of experience in quantitative, data, or analytical roles
Interest in product management, process improvement, or analytics tooling
Clear communication skills — able to explain complex ideas simply and confidently
Excitement about AI, automation, and cutting-edge technology
Detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment
Why You’ll Love It Here
At RTK Tickets, you’ll gain hands-on experience at the intersection of data, product, and live entertainment . You’ll learn how real-time markets work — and help improve the tools that make them smarter.
If you want to launch your career where your ideas matter, your analysis drives results, and your work connects directly to the excitement of live events, we’d love to hear from you.
