About Polymarket

Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market, allowing you to stay informed and profit from your knowledge by trading on future events across various topics. Backed by General Catalyst and Founders Fund.

About the role

Polymarket is looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer to own the modeling layer that sits between our raw data and the decisions the business makes with it. You'll join a small, high-ownership team, working alongside our data engineers and data scientists to turn raw trading and application data into the clean, well-defined models and metrics that everyone from growth to finance to market operations builds on.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data analytics, or a similar role, with production experience owning a modeling layer
  • Expert SQL. You're comfortable reading, writing, and optimizing complex queries against high-volume datasets
  • Hands-on experience with dbt or equivalent, Airflow or other orchestration solutions, and a modern cloud warehouse such as Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or ClickHouse
  • Strong instincts for dimensional modeling and metric design, including the judgment to know when to denormalize
  • Fluency with BI tooling such as Hex, Looker, or similar, and a bias toward building for self-serve over fulfilling one-off requests
  • Enough software engineering fundamentals to work comfortably in version control, review others' code, and keep a project maintainable
