Forward Deployed Product Engineer
About Polymarket
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. 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.
We're growing fast - both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.
About the Role
Polymarket is building out our Engineering team to deliver white-glove support to our most active users. This role is for someone with a technical background who wants to work across multiple sides of the business - Product, Engineering, Sales, Support, and Compliance - with the main focus on delivering results for clients. The majority of your time will be spent understanding client needs, providing solutions, and shaping feedback into product decisions. You will act as a mini-founder within a mini-startup within Polymarket.
What You'll Do
The Forward Deployed Product Engineer will work closely with Polymarket's partners to ensure they get the most value from the platform. You'll manage the relationship from onboarding through long-term retention, resolve problems before they escalate, and use that first-hand knowledge to shape what we build next.
Own a named portfolio of clients - manage the relationship from onboarding through ongoing success
Vibe code every day - pull data from the platform, write SQL against our warehouse, read the relevant code paths, ship fixes when they unblock a client, and make sure our support organization gets 1% better every single day
Translate real client pain into product insight - surface product gaps, track adoption signals, and influence the roadmap through both data and intuition
Act as the voice of the client, internally and externally - build trust with our technical teams and business leaders, and push for the fixes that matter
Turn great support into growth - drive referrals and ensure a magical experience for our most sophisticated traders
What We're Looking For

You are an engineer with a strong technical background who loves working close to customers and product
Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, SQL)
