Job description

About Polymarket

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 โ€” 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 is looking for a Senior Investigation Analyst to help protect the integrity of its markets. Market Integrity's remit covers insider trading, market manipulation, spoofing and order-book abuse, coordinated multi-account activity, bot and automated-trading abuse, sanctions and illicit-finance exposure, and account takeover and fraud.

You'll own investigations end to end and serve as a point of contact for law enforcement and regulatory inquiries into suspicious activity โ€” using on-chain analysis, vendor surveillance tools, and referrals from across the company to build cases from initial signal through documented, defensible findings.

What You'll Do
  • Investigate insider trading, coordinated wallet activity, spoofing, and other market integrity matters from initial signal through a documented, defensible finding
  • Trace wallets, funding flows, and transaction history using tools such as Chainalysis to identify coordination and test hypotheses
  • Review spoofing, layering, and related orderโ€‘book manipulation using tradeโ€‘surveillance tooling (e.g., Eventus/Validus) alongside onโ€‘chain evidence
  • Evaluate and respond to subpoenas and legal process, assessing risk and sensitivity and meeting binding deadlines
  • Write investigative reports and findings that hold up to scrutiny from leadership, law enforcement, or outside counsel
  • Stay current on manipulation and fraud patterns as prediction markets and the underlying blockchain ecosystem evolve
What We're Looking For
  • 5โ€“7+ years of investigative experience in trade surveillance, market structure or regulation, blockchain forensics, financial crimes, law enforcement, or a comparable field involving building cases from ambiguous evidence
  • Working knowledge of orderโ€‘book mechanics and manipulation typologies (spoofing, layering, wash trading), or blockchain analysis and onโ€‘chain typologies โ€” ideally both
  • Direct experience with blockchain analysis tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic) or tradeโ€‘surveillance platforms (e.g., Eventus/Validus, Nasdaq SMARTS)
  • A track record of building a case from limited initial indicators and documenting it clearly enough to act on
  • Sound judgment evaluating and responding to legal and regulatory requests under real deadlines
  • Genuine comfort with ambiguity โ€” a meaningful share of what you'll investigate won't map to a category that already exists
  • (Plus) Experience with prediction markets or other cryptoโ€‘native platforms
  • (Plus) SQL or Python, used to test your own hypotheses against trade or onโ€‘chain data
  • (Plus) Prior experience serving as a point of contact for law enforcement or regulators
Benefits
  • Competitive salary & equity
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
  • 401k match
  • Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
