Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform.

### What You'll Do
- Build and prototype.
- Write the code behind new UI components, animations, and interactions that elevate the product experience. Push for best practices in front-end development and performance at every step.
- Own the design system.
- Drive consistency, accessibility, and performance across all of Polymarket's product surfaces by contributing to and evolving our design system.

- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate design and technical decisions clearly.
- A genuine passion for markets, truth, and freedom of speech.
- (Plus) Understanding of DeFi and financial markets, a willingness to develop that understanding is a must.
