Defi Liquidity Lead
"About The Role"
About This Role
Polymarket processed $21B in trading volume in 2025, built entirely on a peer-to-peer, non-custodial infrastructure powered by smart contracts. As we scale toward becoming the world's go-to source for market-based truth, we need someone who can own the relationships that keep our order books deep, tight, and competitive. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of distributed ledger technology, institutional trading, and crypto-native market making — reporting directly to our Head of Institutional Liquidity.
What You'll Be Doing
Own end-to-end coverage of market maker and institutional partnerships — from outreach and onboarding through ongoing relationship management
Identify and onboard new liquidity providers spanning crypto-native prop shops, HFT firms, and TradFi desks entering the web3 trading space
Represent Polymarket at industry conferences and client meetings, championing our decentralized marketplace model
Translate client feedback into actionable insights for product and market structure teams
Monitor quoting performance, uptime, and market share against benchmarks, delivering sharp monthly reporting
Design incentive structures that reward genuine liquidity depth in high-volume markets rather than token coverage of illiquid ones
Partner with Data and Engineering to build real-time dashboards tracking spread, depth, and quoting performance
What We're Looking For
7+ years in client-facing financial services — prime brokerage, institutional sales, trading ops, or capital markets
Fluency in how market makers and institutional trading desks operate within electronic and decentralized markets
Proven ownership mentality — ready to run your own book from day one
Sharp, direct communicator across written and verbal channels
Solid grounding in trading, market microstructure, or crypto financial products
Cross-functional collaborator comfortable working with legal, compliance, product, and operations
Bonus Points
Experience at a crypto exchange, digital asset prime broker, or fintech serving institutional clients
Hands-on familiarity with market making, liquidity provisioning, or algorithmic/electronic trading
Understanding of prediction markets, information markets, or alternative data ecosystems
Experience navigating institutional onboarding alongside legal and compliance teams
Why Join Us
Competitive salary plus equity in a category-defining blockchain company
Unlimited PTO and a culture built on trust and autonomy
Full health, vision, and dental coverage
401k match and premium hardware — new MacBook Pro, monitor, and accessories to power your work in the decentralized economy
