## About the role

Polymarket operates as a CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange, which means money movement is not a back-office function. It is core infrastructure. Deposits, withdrawals, and settlement payouts happen at high volume and accelerate dramatically around major real-world events. The Senior Payment Risk Analyst role exists to own the risk posture around all of it: how money gets onto the platform, how it moves across it, and how it leaves.

## What they're looking for

- 8 or more years of hands-on experience in payments risk, fraud risk, or transaction monitoring at a fintech, exchange, payments company, bank, or comparable regulated financial services business
- Direct experience with ACH, wire, card networks (Visa and Mastercard), and at least one real-time payment rail (RTP or FedNow), including their dispute mechanics, chargeback rules, and associated fraud patterns
- Working knowledge of BSA/AML fundamentals and how payments risk and AML risk overlap, including SAR filing, structuring detection, and transaction monitoring systems
- Demonstrated experience setting quantitative risk thresholds, such as velocity limits and chargeback ratios, and defending those decisions to internal stakeholders, processors, banks, and card networks
- Strong written communication skills. This role produces risk memos and reporting for senior stakeholders on a regular basis. You need to write clearly and argue a position well
- Experience auditing a payment stack end to end, identifying where controls are missing or miscalibrated, and building the case for what needs to change
