As Staff Product Manager for Crypto at Polymarket, you own the full product surface for crypto markets within the US app, including 15-minute markets, hourly markets, weekly markets, strike markets, and up/down markets across assets. You set the roadmap, coordinate execution, and make the calls that determine whether Polymarket wins or loses market share against Kalshi and competitors in this space. Crypto markets are technically complex with real market structure considerations, liquidity dynamics, and resolution mechanisms that matter, but your audience is retail traders. You resolve the tension between crypto depth and consumer simplicity.
What you'll do
- Define and own the product roadmap for crypto markets in the US app, including prioritization across market formats, resolution mechanisms, and trader-facing features
- Coordinate with engineering and design to ship and iterate on 15-minute, hourly, and weekly crypto markets, keeping execution tight and timelines honest
- Work directly with market makers to understand liquidity constraints and improve the structure of strike and up/down markets
- Analyze trader behavior, volume data, and liquidity metrics to identify where the product is falling short and what to build next
- Run structured experiments on market formats, resolution mechanisms including VWAP and TWAP, and retail onboarding flows to find what drives engagement and retention
- Track competitive positioning against Kalshi and other platforms, and translate that into concrete product decisions
- Represent the crypto product surface in cross-functional planning, ensuring engineering, design, and business stakeholders are aligned on what matters and why
What you bring
- 5+ years of product management experience at a consumer-facing company, with a track record of shipping high-impact features as a senior IC
- Deep working knowledge of crypto markets, including major assets, market dynamics, and how retail traders think about and interact with crypto products
- Hands-on experience with trading product concepts including order books, market structure, and price resolution mechanisms such as VWAP or TWAP
- Demonstrated ability to move fast in an ambiguous environment, make prioritization calls under pressure, and own outcomes end to end
- Strong analytical instincts and comfort pulling and interpreting data to inform product decisions, not just relying on intuition
- Clear, direct communication style that works across engineering, design, and external partners like market makers
Nice to have
- Direct experience working with market makers or liquidity providers on product or market structure decisions
- Prior exposure to prediction markets, information markets, or event-based trading products
What we offer
