    "About The Role"

    About This Role

    This is a hybrid role for someone who loves solving technical puzzles as much as they love talking to people. You'll sit between our engineering org and our growing ecosystem of third-party integrators, exchanges, and institutional partners — making sure every partner who touches our blockchain-powered exchange infrastructure has a fast, frictionless path to going live. Think solutions engineer meets account manager meets product translator.

    What You'll Be Doing

    Lead technical onboarding for partners integrating with Polymarket's REST, WebSocket, and order entry APIs

    Act as the go-to technical contact for key accounts post-launch, triaging issues and looping in engineering as needed

    Write and maintain integration guides, sample code, and documentation that accelerate partner launches

    Translate partner feedback into actionable product and engineering improvements across our distributed trading infrastructure

    Spot API bottlenecks, latency concerns, and integration friction before they escalate

    Join institutional sales calls to field deep technical questions on infrastructure, smart contracts, and execution architecture

    Proactively monitor partner API usage and health, flagging anomalies before clients notice them

    What We're Looking For

    2–5 years in a client-facing technical role — forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, or technical account management at an exchange, fintech, or trading tech company

    Real-world experience with trading or exchange APIs (REST, WebSocket, FIX), including production debugging with clients

    Comfortable writing code in Python, JavaScript, or similar to build samples, troubleshoot, or automate workflows

    Excellent communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical audiences with ease

    Ownership mentality — you see issues through to resolution, not just escalation

    Working knowledge of electronic trading mechanics: order types, latency, market data, and execution quality

    Naturally collaborative across engineering, product, and sales teams

    Bonus Points

    Experience at a crypto exchange, DeFi protocol, or on-chain trading venue

    Familiarity with prediction markets, smart contracts, or event-driven financial products

    Background supporting market maker or HFT integrations

    Quantitative finance or trading systems infrastructure experience

    Why Join Us

    Competitive salary ($200K–$250K) plus meaningful equity

    Unlimited PTO and a flexible, high-trust culture

    Full health, vision, and dental coverage, plus 401k match

    A rare opportunity to shape the technical backbone of the world's largest decentralized prediction market platform
