About Polymarket
What is Polymarket?
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. The peer-to-peer marketplace lets individuals trade on the outcomes of real-world events — across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. There's no centralized "house": Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future. The platform processed $21 billion in trading volume in 2025 and is visited by over 30 million people each month.
The careers page positions the work as a "dual mandate": become the new front page of the internet and define the coming era of finance. The first leg means turning prediction markets into a credible source of public truth — "more than a market, Polymarket distills the signal from the noise" — with event data already flowing to X, Substack, and Yahoo Finance. The second leg is institutional: a $2B investment from Intercontinental Exchange (the owner of the NYSE) distributes Polymarket's event-driven data to global markets, and a partnership with Dow Jones makes Polymarket the official information market for The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch.
Where will I work?
Polymarket is headquartered in New York City, and the careers listings make the policy clear: most engineering, design, product, marketing, finance, legal, markets, operations, and talent roles are "Full time, on-site in New York." Remote roles exist for select positions — CX (Customer Support, Escalation Engineer), Dev Tools, Head of Payments, Head of People — but the default is in-office in NYC.
What is the Polymarket team like?
Polymarket is hiring across 36 open roles spanning Engineering (10 roles, including Senior C/C++ Engineer for the US Exchange and Senior Backend Engineer Onchain), Marketing/Growth (6 roles), Legal (4 roles including AML Compliance Officer and Regulatory Attorney), Talent (4 roles), Markets (2 including Head of Markets), CX, Design, Finance, Operations, and Product. The company is "in search of quantitative traders, data analysts, and experts in derivatives" — a hiring profile that matches the institutional finance side of the dual mandate. The careers tagline pitches the work as building "the world's leading information markets" for people "passionate about decentralized finance, information markets, and creating tools that empower better decision-making across the globe."
Work-Life Balance
Polymarket offers Unlimited PTO for all employees. The on-site default in NYC means most of the team is in-person daily; remote-eligible roles are explicitly flagged in the careers page.
