About the role

  • Polymarket is looking for a Senior Quantitative Developer to join the team that runs the data infrastructure powering our platform - real-time pipelines, clean market data, and reliable delivery across every system that depends on it.
  • The team is small and the surface area is large.
  • This hire is about adding real depth to a high-performing team working on complex, high-stakes systems.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain real-time data pipelines that ingest market events across our platform with high reliability and low latency
  • Partner with analysts and engineers to understand how data is consumed downstream and improve the quality and shape of what gets delivered
  • Document systems clearly enough that any engineer on the team can context-switch into your systems without friction
  • Comfort operating in resource-constrained environments where you own the full lifecycle of what you build, from design through ongoing maintenance

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building and operating production data pipelines with real throughput and real consequences when they fail
  • Strong proficiency in Python or a similar language for pipeline development, data transformation, and tooling
  • Hands-on experience with stream processing systems such as Kafka, Flink, or Kinesis in a production environment
  • Track record of debugging hard data reliability issues - schema drift, late-arriving events, ordering anomalies - and getting to root cause without a lot of hand-holding
  • Experience working with cloud data infrastructure, particularly on AWS or GCP, including storage, compute, and orchestration tooling

Nice to have

  • (Plus) Experience in financial markets, crypto infrastructure, or other latency-sensitive trading environments
  • (Plus) Familiarity with blockchain event indexing or on-chain data ingestion

Compensation

  • Competitive salary & equity

Benefits

  • Competitive salary & equity
  • Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
