About Polymarket

We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future.
We're growing fast — both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.
About the Role
Polymarket is making a high-stakes bet on crypto markets right now, and this role owns the full product surface for crypto within the US app — 15-minute markets, hourly markets, weekly markets, strike markets, up/down markets across assets. You'll be setting the roadmap, coordinating execution, and making the calls that determine whether we win or lose market share against our competitors.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. The mandate is clear: grow Polymarket's share of crypto markets, starting with the US app. Crypto markets are technically complex — with real market structure considerations, liquidity dynamics, and resolution mechanisms that matter — but the audience we're building for is retail. That tension, between crypto depth and consumer simplicity, is exactly what this role has to resolve.
What You'll Do
- Define and own the product roadmap for crypto markets in the US app, including prioritization across market formats, resolution mechanisms, and trader-facing features
- Coordinate with engineering and design to ship and iterate on 15-minute, hourly, and weekly crypto markets, keeping execution tight and timelines honest
- Work directly with market makers to understand liquidity constraints and improve the structure of strike and up/down markets
- Analyze trader behavior, volume data, and liquidity metrics to identify where the product is falling short and what to build next
- Run structured experiments on market formats, resolution mechanisms (including VWAP and TWAP), and retail onboarding flows to find what drives engagement and retention
- Track competitive positioning against Kalshi and other platforms, and translate that into concrete product decisions
- Represent the crypto product surface in cross-functional planning, making sure engineering, design, and business stakeholders are aligned on what matters and why
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of product management experience at a consumer-facing company, with a track record of shipping high-impact features as a senior IC
- Deep working knowledge of crypto markets, including major assets, market dynamics, and how retail traders think about and interact with crypto products
- Hands-on experience with trading product concepts including order books, market structure, and price resolution mechanisms such as VWAP or TWAP
- Demonstrated ability to move fast in an ambiguous environment, make prioritization calls under pressure, and own outcomes end to end
- Strong analytical instincts — comfortable pulling and interpreting data to inform product decisions, not just relying on intuition
- Clear, direct communication style that works across engineering, design, and external partners like market makers
- (Plus) Direct experience working with market makers or liquidity providers on product or market structure decisions
- (Plus) Prior exposure to prediction markets, information markets, or event-based trading products
Benefits
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage

- Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
