About the Role
Polymarket is looking for a Sports Markets Lead to own everything related to sports across both Polymarket US (off-chain) and Polymarket International (on-chain). You'll be responsible for the entire sports vertical: coverage, liquidity, resolution, and partnerships — combining the instincts of a bookmaker with the precision of a product manager.
This is a hands-on, high-leverage role for someone who understands how sports trading works under the hood — data, feeds, models, latency, liquidity, and market flow. You'll work directly with the Head of Markets, partnering closely with liquidity providers, engineers, compliance, and data vendors to build infrastructure that makes Polymarket faster, deeper, and more accurate than any sportsbook.
What You'll Do
- Own the sports vertical — from NFL moneylines to bespoke, news-driven markets
- Expand coverage by identifying and prioritizing events worth listing; design systematic and discretionary pipelines for new markets
- Drive liquidity by working with top-tier market makers and trading firms to structure incentives, fees, and quoting standards
- Build faster, more reliable resolution systems using data feeds, APIs, and automation frameworks
- Integrate data sources — work with providers like Sportsdata.io and others to ensure real-time accuracy and resilience
- Shape partnerships with leagues, data firms, and sports-adjacent brands to expand Polymarket's reach
- Collaborate with product, compliance, and engineering to ship sports features that meet regulatory and technical requirements
- Track volume, spreads, participation, and latency across sports markets and relentlessly improve them
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years leading sports trading, sportsbook operations, or sports exchange systems
- Deep understanding of liquidity mechanics, odds compilation, and market-making models
- Strong technical fluency — able to spec APIs, debug data feeds, and work directly with engineers
- Product sensibility — you think in systems, user flows, and feedback loops
- Comfort operating in regulated and unregulated environments simultaneously
- High-agency mindset and appetite for ownership; thrives in fast-moving, high-stakes environments
- (Plus) Experience at a regulated exchange or DCM/DCO
- (Plus) Background in quantitative trading or market-making
- (Plus) Existing relationships with sports data or trading firms
- (Plus) Obsession with sports, markets, and competition
Benefits
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
- 401k match
- Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
