## About the role

Polymarket is building a regulated US exchange, and we're hiring a Quant Risk Manager to anchor the risk function from the ground up. This is not a maintenance role. You'll be designing the models, frameworks, and systems that protect the exchange as we launch perpetuals and traditional commodity derivatives into a live, fast-moving market.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience managing derivatives or futures risk, either at an exchange, clearinghouse, or trading firm where real money was on the line
- Quantitative risk management background with direct ownership of model development, not just consumption of outputs from a research team
- Strong financial modeling skills in Python. You write clean, production-quality code and move fast
- Comfort working with AI tools across the full development cycle. You use them to ship better work faster, not as a shortcut around understanding
- Deep familiarity with exchange mechanics: order books, market making dynamics, margin and collateral management, position limits, and liquidation
- Working knowledge of CFTC regulations for designated contract markets, including reporting requirements, capital rules, and conduct standards
