Staff Software Engineer, Mission Control

About the Role

Polymarket is looking for a Staff Full-Stack Engineer to define the technical strategy and long-term architecture of the systems that power how Polymarket operates. You’ll partner with leaders across the company, understand their strategic goals at a deep level, and shape how our operational platform evolves to meet them.

These systems center on Mission Control: the internal platform Polymarket uses to run Polymarket. Mission Control is the backbone for teams across the company, including Markets, Product, Polymarket US, Trust & Safety, Compliance, Exchange Operations, and Customer Experience. It is critical to how we create, configure, and launch markets, and to how we operate safely and compliantly at scale.

This is a role for an experienced technical leader who wants broad ownership, influence across the organization, and a direct hand in how Polymarket operates as it scales.

What You’ll Do

• Own and lead Mission Control. Set the technical vision and roadmap for the platform used to run Polymarket, the engine behind our markets, operations, compliance, and growth.

• Build Mission Control as a platform. Design the core abstractions, data models, and extension points that let teams across the company build on Mission Control safely and quickly, without a dedicated engineer for every workflow.
