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.
We’re hiring a Staff Product Designer at Polymarket. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where you’ll help define the product’s direction and craft the core user experience from first principles.
We’re not a place where roadmaps are handed down or specs are set in stone. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity — someone who sees undefined spaces as creative opportunities and has the initiative to bring structure, insight, and beauty to complex problems.
You’ll collaborate closely with the Founder and leadership team, owning design end-to-end: from understanding our users and defining product narratives to shipping thoughtful, high-precision interfaces.
Lead with autonomy. You’ll define and drive design work from scratch — identifying what needs to be done while raising the quality bar, and collaborating closely with engineers and leadership to bring ideas to life.
Design for clarity and depth. Our product touches prediction markets, finance, and social networks. Your job is to make these powerful tools feel accessible, intuitive, and engaging.
Prototype quickly and test ideas. You’ll use tools like Figma, Cursor, and light code to explore concepts, validate assumptions, and refine interfaces based on real feedback.
Develop insights through research. You’ll talk to users, analyze behavior, and extract meaningful patterns that inform product direction.
Define and evolve our design system. You’ll create the standards and systems that keep our product cohesive as it grows.
Act as a force-multiplier. You’ll raise the bar — not just through your own work, but by modeling great thinking, process, and collaboration across the company.
10+ years of experience designing high-quality consumer products, ideally in early-stage or zero-to-one environments
A portfolio that shows you can think at the system level while sweating the details
Strong visual and interaction design skills, plus fluency in tools like Figma, Cursor, or V0
Clear, thoughtful communication — whether you’re sharing work, making a case, or putting together a presentation
A bias towards ownership and action: you know how to figure out what matters, even when the path isn’t obvious
Deep curiosity about markets, incentives, and the future of truth
Bonus: experience working in fintech, crypto, or data-rich products
Bonus: exposure to trading, DeFi, or financial systems — or a hunger to learn quickly
Competitive salary & equity
Unlimited PTO
Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
401k match
Hardware setup — new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
