Director of Engineering, Clearing, Payments & Risk
Polymarket, New York
The role
We're hiring a Director of Engineering to lead the teams that move, clear, and protect customer funds on Polymarket US. You'll own our clearing, payments, and risk systems, and you'll lead engineering for our Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) build, one of the most important initiatives in the company. This role needs a manager who has built these systems before and understands the regulatory model behind them, not one who will learn it on the job.
What you will do
- Lead engineering for the FCM program end to end: customer onboarding and account structure, customer fund segregation, margin and collateral, and the integration between the FCM and our clearinghouse.
- Own the clearing engine and the post-trade path: settlement, position and balance management, reconciliation, and the ledger that sits underneath all of it.
- Own payments: deposits and withdrawals across bank, card, and wallet rails, fraud and risk checks at authorization, and the processor and banking partners behind them.
