Our peer-to-peer marketplace operates without a centralized house, allowing us to aggregate diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that truly reflect collective expectations about the future.

As we continue to expand rapidly, with an impressive $21B traded in 2025, we are positioning ourselves as an alternative source of news and insights. Our vision is to be a trusted beacon of truth in global media, and we invite you to join us in this mission.


About the Role

Polymarket is in search of a Senior Technical Program Manager who will bring organization and execution excellence to our dynamic engineering team. In this role, you will facilitate coordination among engineering teams, ensuring that cross-functional initiatives are delivered on schedule while establishing the systems and processes necessary for our growth.

This position is foundational for our evolving organization. As we have experienced rapid growth, we currently lack formal PM processes. You will not merely implement existing frameworks; instead, you will design and develop them from the ground up.


Key Responsibilities

  • Delivery & Execution: Oversee the complete delivery of technical projects encompassing backend services, infrastructure, and user-facing features. Take responsibility for timelines, dependencies, and alignment among stakeholders for our top priority initiatives.

  • Cross-Team Coordination: Act as the central hub of coordination among engineering, product, and leadership teams. Proactively identify and mitigate blockers before they escalate into issues. Ensure all teams remain aligned on priorities and project sequencing.

  • Process & Systems Development: Create and implement frameworks, rituals, and tools that enhance visibility into project progress while avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.

  • Technical Bridging: Facilitate the connection between product vision and engineering execution. A solid understanding of our architecture will be essential for scoping work and managing inter-team dependencies effectively.

  • Documentation & Knowledge Management: Establish standards for technical documentation and decision records that are practical and utilized. Ensure asynchronous work is possible and our learnings are preserved.

  • Stakeholder Communication: Manage communication with leadership and cross-functional partners, providing clear, actionable updates regarding project status, risks, and trade-offs.

  • Team Development: As the organization grows, assist in building the program management function, which may include recruitment and mentorship of future team members.
