Job description
## About Polymarket
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. 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.
Responsibilities
## What You'll Do
- Build and maintain real-time data pipelines that ingest market events across three active exchanges with high reliability and low latency.
- Investigate and resolve root causes of data gaps, delivery delays, and schema breaks before they compound into larger incidents.
- Ship incremental improvements to ingestion and delivery infrastructure on a continuous basis, not just when something breaks.
- Monitor pipeline health, define meaningful alerts, and reduce the operational overhead of keeping systems running.
- Partner with analysts and engineers to understand how data is consumed downstream and improve the quality and shape of what gets delivered.
- Document systems clearly enough that another engineer can debug them at 2am without calling you.
Requirements
## What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience building and operating production data pipelines with real throughput and real consequences when they fail.
- Strong proficiency in Python or a similar language for pipeline development, data transformation, and tooling.
- Hands-on experience with stream processing systems such as Kafka, Flink, or Kinesis in a production environment.
- Track record of debugging hard data reliability issues, schema drift, late-arriving events, ordering anomalies, and getting to root cause without a lot of hand-holding.
- Comfort operating in resource-constrained environments where you own the full lifecycle of what you build, from design through ongoing maintenance.
- Experience working with cloud data infrastructure, particularly on AWS or GCP, including storage, compute, and orchestration tooling.
- (Plus) Experience in financial markets, crypto infrastructure, or other latency-sensitive trading environments.
- (Plus) Familiarity with blockchain event indexing or on-chain data ingestion.
- (Plus) Experience building or maintaining data contracts and schema registries across multiple producers and consumers.
Conditions
## Benefits
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
- 401k match
- Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
