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.
Polymarket is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to bring structure and execution rigor to a fast-moving engineering organization. You'll coordinate across our engineering teams, making sure cross-functional initiatives ship on time while building the systems and processes we need to scale.
This is a foundational hire. We've grown quickly and don't have formal PM processes yet. You're not coming in to run a playbook. You're coming in to write one.
Delivery & Execution: Drive end-to-end delivery of technical initiatives across backend services, infrastructure, and consumer-facing features. Own timelines, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment for our highest-priority projects.
Cross-Team Coordination: Be the central point of coordination across engineering, product, and leadership. Find blockers before they become problems. Keep teams aligned on priorities and sequencing.
Process & Systems Building: Design and implement the frameworks, rituals, and tooling that give us visibility into what's shipping and what's stuck, without adding bureaucracy for its own sake.
Technical Translation: Bridge product vision and engineering execution. You'll need to understand our architecture well enough to scope work and manage dependencies across teams.
Documentation & Knowledge Management: Set standards for technical documentation and decision records that actually get used. Make it possible to work async and preserve what we learn.
Stakeholder Communication: Own communication with leadership and cross-functional partners. Clear, actionable updates on status, risks, and tradeoffs.
Team Development: As we grow, help build out the program management function. This may include hiring and mentoring additional TPMs.
4+ years in technical program or project management, with time at early-stage startups scaling engineering teams (think 10 → 50+ engineers)
Consumer fintech or trading platform experience. You've shipped products where real money, real-time systems, and user trust are on the line
Track record of building PM processes from scratch, not just operating within existing frameworks.
Technical depth. You can read a spec, understand architecture tradeoffs, and hold your own with engineers. Prior engineering experience is a big plus
Strong organizational and communication skills. You bring structure to chaos and write updates people actually read
Familiarity with Linear, Notion, or similar tools. Opinions about what good project management looks like are welcome
(Plus) Experience at prediction markets, sports betting platforms, or trading exchanges
(Plus) Crypto/DeFi familiarity, including understanding of blockchain mechanics and on-chain systems
(Plus) Smart contract exposure and ability to scope work involving contract development or audits
(Plus) Background in market microstructure, liquidity systems, or order matching
