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's web team ships to production many times a day across our Next.js apps. This role owns the systems that make that velocity safe: the AI tooling, observability, alerting, and performance discipline that tell us — with evidence, automatically — that the site is fast and correct after every ship. This is a hands-on architect role with a clear foundation to build on. The center of gravity is agentic tooling — building the AI-driven review, QA, verification, and release machinery the web team leans on daily. The rest is the observability, alerting, and performance foundation that machinery stands on.

What You'll Do
Build and maintain agentic workflows that give every web engineer leverage: PR review agents, automated verification of fixes against production data, perf-regression detection and bisection, release gates Define the performance budget for Polymarket web and enforce it automatically — in CI, at the edge, and in RUM Instrument what matters: real-user metrics tied to the surfaces where users trade, not vanity lab scores Own the alert lifecycle end to end — from detector to dashboard to the engineer who acts on it; kill flaky signals and make green mean shippable Set the architecture bar for how the web team measures, ships, and verifies — and automate it so the bar holds at high velocity Own Core Web Vitals, real-user monitoring, bundle and rendering budgets, and caching and streaming strategy for Polymarket web Maintain one coherent, trustworthy picture of production web health across errors, traces, and RUM Own regression detection that fires when something real breaks — performance or correctness — and stays quiet otherwise Build and maintain the views the team and leadership actually use: release health, vitals, error budgets, funnel-critical surfaces Lead a small team from day one — set the direction, raise the bar, and multiply their output while staying hands-on
