## About the role

Polymarket's finance team is small, high-output, and building the infrastructure that will support a category-defining company at scale. Reporting directly to the Controller, the Assistant Controller is a critical hire on a team where everyone owns their domain end to end. You won't be inheriting a finished system — you'll be inheriting a fast-moving business with real complexity, real regulatory exposure, and real expectations that the accounting function keeps pace with both.

## What they're looking for

- Active CPA license, required
- 8–15 years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time spent in banking, fintech, or regulated financial services
- Hands-on experience with high transaction volume environments, including crypto on-ramps, stablecoin settlements, and fiat integrations, plus reconciliation workflows and error rate management
- Demonstrated technical GAAP expertise across ASC 606, ASC 805, and ASC 350-60, applied independently in real situations
- Direct experience with SOX compliance, including building and maintaining controls — not just operating within them
- Direct experience with CFTC and other US financial regulatory filings
