Quantitative Analyst

About Us

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.
