Forward Deployed Product Engineer

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future. We're growing fast — both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.

The Forward Deployed Product Engineer will work closely with Polymarket's partners to ensure they get the most value from the platform. You'll manage the relationship from onboarding through long-term retention, resolve problems before they escalate, and use that first-hand knowledge to shape what we build next.
