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.

About the Role

Polymarket is looking for a US Control Desk Operator / Analyst to sit at the intersection of market operations, risk oversight, compliance, and technology — serving as a critical first line of defense for our CFTC-regulated Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) and Designated Contract Market (DCM). This is a shift-based role running 4:00 PM – 12:30 AM, supporting one of the most dynamic 24/7 trading platforms in the industry.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with CFTC regulatory frameworks, but more importantly, brings a relentless roll-up-your-sleeves mentality. We need someone who can flawlessly execute manual operational tasks today while working with our engineers to automate them for tomorrow. This role reports directly to the Head of Regulatory Operations.

What You'll Do

Execute critical, time-sensitive manual workflows including resolving trading instruments when automated data providers (oracles) fail and performing manual ledger reconciliations
