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 Data Scientist / Analyst to own the analytics behind our institutional relationships — the market makers, large takers, and brokerages that account for a disproportionate share of platform volume. You'll be the person who understands each of these counterparties in depth: how they trade, how they make money with us, and whether the relationship is getting healthier or weaker.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in analytics, trading, or counterparty analysis, ideally at an exchange, trading venue, brokerage, or market making firm
- Expert SQL — you can work directly against order book and transaction-level data without supervision
- Deep understanding of how professional participants make money — spread capture, adverse selection, inventory risk, and the economics of providing liquidity
- Credibility in a technical conversation with a sophisticated counterparty — you can hold your own with a firm's own quants
- Commercial instinct — you can look at a relationship and articulate what it is worth to us and where the leverage sits
- Strong communication and discretion, including with sensitive counterparty information and in front of external partners
