Forward Deployed Engineer, Services
"About The Role"
About This Role
This is a rare hybrid position — part solutions engineer, part relationship owner — embedded at the intersection of engineering and partnerships. You'll work directly with institutional partners, market makers, and crypto-native trading firms integrating with Polymarket's APIs, helping translate complex blockchain and exchange infrastructure into smooth, production-ready integrations. Reporting to our VP of Engineering, you'll have real influence over how our platform scales to meet explosive demand ($21B traded in 2025 alone).
What You'll Be Doing
Own the end-to-end technical onboarding journey for partners integrating with our REST, WebSocket, and order-entry APIs
Act as the go-to technical contact for key clients, triaging issues and partnering with engineering on fast resolutions
Build integration guides, SDKs, and code samples that help partners go live on our decentralized exchange infrastructure faster
Translate real-world client feedback into actionable product and smart contract-related improvements
Proactively monitor API health, latency, and usage patterns to catch issues before they impact trading
Support institutional sales with deep technical due diligence calls, demonstrating platform reliability and scalability
What We're Looking For
2–5 years in a client-facing technical role — forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, or technical account management at a trading, fintech, or crypto exchange
Hands-on experience with trading or exchange APIs (REST, WebSocket, FIX) in live production environments
Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or similar languages to build samples, debug integrations, and automate workflows
Strong communicator able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders with clarity
Self-starter who owns problems fully, from first contact to resolution
Solid grasp of electronic trading mechanics — order types, latency, market data, and execution quality
Bonus Points
Experience at a crypto exchange, DeFi protocol, or on-chain trading venue
Familiarity with prediction markets or event-driven financial products
Background supporting market maker or HFT integrations
Exposure to quantitative finance or trading systems infrastructure
Why Join Us
Competitive salary ($200K–$250K) plus meaningful equity in a category-defining web3 company
Unlimited PTO and a flexible, high-trust culture
Full health, vision, and dental coverage, plus 401k match
A front-row seat to scaling one of the fastest-growing decentralized platforms in crypto, shaping how global truth gets priced on-chain
