About the role
Polymarket is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to bring structure and execution rigor to a fast-moving engineering organization. You'll coordinate across our engineering teams, making sure cross-functional initiatives ship on time while building the systems and processes we need to scale.
This is a foundational hire. We've grown quickly and don't have formal PM processes yet. You're not coming in to run a playbook. You're coming in to write one.
What you’ll do
- Delivery & Execution: Drive end-to-end delivery of technical initiatives across backend services, infrastructure, and consumer-facing features. Own timelines, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment for our highest-priority projects.
- Cross-Team Coordination: Be the central point of coordination across engineering, product, and leadership. Find blockers before they become problems. Keep teams aligned on priorities and sequencing.
- Process & Systems Building: Design and implement the frameworks, rituals, and tooling that give us visibility into what's shipping and what's stuck, without adding bureaucracy for its own sake.
- Technical Translation: Bridge product vision and engineering execution. You'll need to understand our architecture well enough to scope work and manage dependencies across teams.
- Documentation & Knowledge Management: Set standards for technical documentation and decision records that actually get used. Make it possible to work async and preserve what we learn.
- Stakeholder Communication: Own communication with leadership and cross-functional partners. Clear, actionable updates on status, risks, and tradeoffs.
- Team Development: As we grow, help build out the program management function. This may include hiring and mentoring additional TPMs.
What we’re looking for
- 4+ years in technical program or project management, with time at early-stage startups scaling engineering teams (think 10 → 50+ engineers)
- Consumer fintech or trading platform experience. You've shipped products where real money, real-time systems, and user trust are on the line
- Track record of building PM processes from scratch, not just operating within existing frameworks.
- Technical depth. You can read a spec, understand architecture tradeoffs, and hold your own with engineers. Prior engineering experience is a big plus
- Strong organizational and communication skills. You bring structure to chaos and write updates people actually read
- Familiarity with Linear, Notion, or similar tools. Opinions about what good project management looks like are welcome
- (Plus) Experience at prediction markets, sports betting platforms, or trading exchanges
- (Plus) Crypto/DeFi familiarity, including understanding of blockchain mechanics and on-chain systems
- (Plus) Smart contract exposure and ability to scope work involving contract development or audits
- (Plus) Background in market microstructure, liquidity systems, or order matching
Benefits
- Competitive salary & meaningful equity
- Unlimited PTO, Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
- 401k match
- Hardware setup — new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories.
