F-1 students on CPT/OPT are welcome; we can't sponsor other visas for this specific role.\nAbout Selfin\nSelfin is a Y Combinator-backed startup building an introducing broker that helps companies hedge the events that hit their P&L: a club's relegation, an airline strike, a drop in GPU rental prices. We structure those hedges as block trades on regulated prediction markets and work with institutional market makers to execute them.\nWe started Selfin because we believe that for prediction markets to become a new asset class, institutions have to come in. We want to create a whole new industry, and we're building the bridge that brings companies and institutions into these markets.\nOur team comes from MIT, Stanford and Imperial, with experience at NASA, Bank of America, Rolls-Royce and BCG, . We're small, early, and founder-led, and we're looking for people bold enough to build something new in finance and rigorous enough to do it right. You'll work directly with the founder every day.\nAbout the role\nThis is a hybrid sales and quant role. Half of it is selling to CFOs; the other half is building the analysis and the tools that make those conversations win.\nWhat you'll do\nSell. Draft outreach to CFOs and treasurers, join customer calls, take notes, and own follow-ups until there's a next step on the calendar.\nExecute deals. Broker block trades between our clients and institutional market makers: get quotes, negotiate size and price, and see each trade through to settlement.\nRisk models. Build the models that size and price each client's hedge: event probabilities, payoff scenarios and how much of the exposure to cover.\nExposure memos. For each target company, write a one-page analysis: what the market implies about the probability of their key event, what a hedge would cost, and what happens if they don't hedge. This is our main sales asset.\nBuild the machine. Use code and AI agents to automate account research, intro mapping and memo drafts, so we can cover 10x more companies without losing quality.\nAccount research and intro mapping. Build a named list of 30-50 CFOs and treasurers across sports, aviation and AI compute, and find the warmest path into each (shared connections, investors, YC alumni).\nSales materials and pipeline. One-pagers per vertical, answers to recurring objections (\"Is this legal?\", \"Who's the counterparty?\", \"How does it settle?\"), a clean CRM and the weekly pipeline review.\nYour first 90 days\nFirst 30 days: draft exposure memos for 10+ target companies, build your first AI-assisted research workflow, and join live CFO calls.\nBy day 60: broker trades with the largest market makers alongside the founder.\nBy day 90: execute trades.\nQualifications\nCurrently studying at or recently graduated from a top-tier university (e.g. Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, CMU, Chicago, NYU, Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, LSE) in finance, economics, math, engineering, computer science or similar - OR previous internships at top firms (investment banks, hedge funds, trading firms, top consultancies, top tech companies or YC startups).\nYou can sell. You've convinced people to buy, join or fund something, and you're comfortable talking to senior people.\nYou can code and are comfortable building your own agents with AI tools.\nComfortable with probabilities, options or derivatives basics.\nYou do the boring work well and you don't wait to be told what's next.\nBonus points\nInternships at investment banks, hedge funds, trading firms or top consultancies (Goldman Sachs, Susquehanna, Jane Street, Citadel, McKinsey, BCG…).\nPrevious experience at a YC startup.\nBackground in quant, trading, treasury, sports business, aviation or prediction markets.\nHackathons, side projects, or something you started yourself.\nWhat you get\nA front-row seat building a regulated financial business from zero.\nReal ownership from day one\nAutonomy, speed and full visibility into how the company is built.\nA path to a full-time Founder's Associate role, with equity, if we both want it.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4274,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T15:36:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:5","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T17:49:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/selfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/selfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T17:49:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":37433,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3779612},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3779612"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fselfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fselfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fselfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/selfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fselfin-off-cycle-intern-sales-risk"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4174471}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"selfin.app","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4174471},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
