About the role

  • Drive projects end-to-end. Take complex, ambiguous initiatives from problem definition through architecture, implementation, and production, with direct impact on how the business operates every day.
  • Work across a broad set of systems. Mission Control represents the broad range of operational systems (APIs, dashboards, workflows) that support teams across the company and tie directly into the core product.
  • Work across the stack. Develop both frontend and backend code, using modern frameworks to solve practical problems quickly and cleanly.
  • Embed with and partner across teams. Work directly alongside Markets, Product, Polymarket US, Trust & Safety, Compliance, Operations, and CX to understand their workflows, turn their needs into technical priorities, and influence how they work.
