## 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
