Who is Risk Labs?

Risk Labs is the foundation and core team behind UMA and Across.

We operate as one cohesive, globally distributed team building infrastructure that pushes crypto forward. UMA’s Optimistic Oracle records verifiable truth onto blockchains. Across is leading interoperability through intent-based architecture. Both are decentralized protocols governed by global communities and supported by Risk Labs Foundation.

We are remote-first, high-agency, and impact-driven.

Why This Role Exists

We are hiring a contract analyst to support UMA’s proposal monitoring system for prediction markets. This system provides additional safety against incorrect proposals going undisputed and that response times remain within defined service thresholds. You will use internal tooling to review proposals flagged as high risk, and exercise independent judgment to decide if they are correct or should escalate to UMA’s dispute resolution system. Your work directly impacts resolution accuracy, protocol trust, and user confidence.

This is not a community moderator role. It is a structured, accountable review function operating under defined response-time and quality expectations. The right candidate will grow their impact and scale in this role, as the system and its critical integrations (like Polymarket) continue to scale exponentially.

What You’ll Own

1. Flagged Proposal Review (Primary Responsibility)

• Review proposals flagged by monitoring systems during assigned coverage windows.
• Determine whether the proposal is:
  • Correct
  • Should be escalated to UMA’s dispute resolution system
• Review and act on flagged proposals promptly to stay within maximum response times.
• Maintain high decision accuracy
• Determine when to escalate high risk or ambiguous cases to senior Risk Labs staff when required

Estimated volume: 10-50 flagged proposals for review per 12 hour period.

2. Exercise Independent Judgment

• Apply consistent reasoning across objective and subjective markets
• Interpret ambiguous or edge-case rules under time constraints
• Ensure decisions are defensible, repeatable, and aligned with protocol standards

   

3. Maintain Decision Quality

• Clearly document rationale for approvals, disputes, and escalations
• Maintain consistent standards across review cases

   

4. Improve the System

• Identify patterns in false flags or rule ambiguity
• Provide structured feedback on monitoring gaps
• Suggest improvements to market rules to increase determinism and clarity
• Contribute to ongoing refinement of Human Review processes
