About the role

You'll be responsible for the full macro vertical: coverage, liquidity, resolution frameworks, data integrity, and strategic partnerships - bringing together the instincts of a macro trader with the precision of a product manager.
This is a hands-on, high-leverage role for someone who understands how macro trading and event-driven markets behave under the hood - data, releases, models, latency, liquidity, market structure, and flow.
You'll work directly with the Head of Markets, partnering closely with liquidity providers, engineers, compliance, economists, and data vendors to make Polymarket faster, deeper, and more accurate than traditional macro venues and forecasting shops.

Drive liquidity by collaborating with leading market makers and trading firms to structure incentives, fees, and quoting standards for high-volume macro markets

Monitor volume, spreads, participation, and latency across macro markets and relentlessly optimize them
Strong technical fluency - able to spec APIs, debug data feeds, interpret economic releases, and collaborate with engineering teams
