About the role

Polymarket Perps is one of the most consequential bets we're making as a company.
The mandate is simple: ship a perps experience that traders actually prefer.
That means clean margin UX, a liquidation engine traders trust, funding rates that are easy to understand, and a roadmap that reflects what real users actually need week over week.

Own the perps product roadmap, write and maintain prioritized specs with engineering, and make sure the team is always working on the highest-impact problems.
Coordinate engineering and design resources to ship perps improvements end to end, from spec to production.
Audit trader complaints and support feedback weekly, map them to specific product gaps, and feed that signal directly into prioritization.
Partner with engineering to set realistic delivery timelines and break ambiguous problems into shippable milestones.

You can speak to how these work at a product level, not just a conceptual one.
You know how to write a spec, run a sprint, and keep a team unblocked.
You start with behavior and pain points before features, and you have a track record of making complex financial products feel approachable.
Ability to make sensible tradeoffs across user experience, engineering constraints, business goals, and compliance requirements without waiting for direction.

(Plus) Personal history as an active derivatives trader.
If you've managed positions, navigated liquidations, and thought about funding rates with real money on the line, that perspective will show in your work.
