Hanson Applied Sciences Information

Hanson Applied Sciences is a proprietary trading firm that builds and operates automated market-making systems for prediction and sports betting exchanges. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London with operations in Malta, our team of quantitative researchers, traders, and software engineers develops the pricing models and execution infrastructure that provide deep, continuous liquidity across thousands of markets daily. We specialise in automated market making — combining probabilistic modelling, real-time data ingestion, and low-latency execution to quote tight spreads at scale. Our systems price and trade across football, horse racing, tennis, and other major sporting events, dynamically managing inventory and risk in fast-moving order books. Hanson operates as a sister company to Smarkets, one of the UK's leading prediction market and betting exchanges, and serves as the platform's principal liquidity provider — helping ensure efficient price discovery and deep order books for 1M+ customers. We're a small, high-calibre team that values rigorous thinking, engineering excellence, and intellectual curiosity.
