## About the role

The Markets team is responsible for what gets listed on Polymarket, how those markets are structured, and whether they actually work. That means thinking hard about liquidity, market design, and what separates a market that generates real price discovery and volume from one that gets limited traction. This role sits inside that team as its dedicated analyst, owning the analytical layer behind nearly every decision they make.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in analytics, data science, market operations, or exchange strategy, ideally somewhere close to market structure questions
- Expert SQL. You can work directly against high-volume transaction and order book data without supervision
- Strong Python for data analysis, statistical modeling, and working with large datasets
- Deep, working knowledge of market structure. You can reason about order books, spreads, liquidity provision, and market design tradeoffs without needing a primer
- Ability to reason about incentive design: what a rewards program buys, what it costs, and how a sophisticated participant would game it
- Experience owning analyses end to end, from scoping an ambiguous question to handing a stakeholder something they can act on
