Experience designing internal control and risk management systems for banks, hedge funds, or exchanges
Familiarity with auditing reports and working alongside compliance teams, regulatory bodies, or external auditors
Exposure to event contract markets, prediction markets, or binary-options pricing (e.g., Polymarket, Kalshi)
