Compliance Technology Associate

About the Role

Polymarket operates as a CFTC-registered Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO). That registration comes with real regulatory obligations, and we take them seriously. The Compliance team is responsible for making sure we meet those obligations without slowing down a product that moves fast and operates at scale.

This role sits within the Legal and Compliance department and reports to the Compliance Technology Lead. You will own the day-to-day execution of our system safeguards compliance programs under CFTC Regulations 38.1051 and 39.18. That means maintaining documentation, coordinating testing schedules, managing regulatory filings, and serving as the connective tissue between Compliance and Engineering. This is not a policy-reading role. You will be in the weeds on audits, remediation tracking, and cross-functional coordination on a regular basis.

The person who succeeds here is someone who can run compliance workflows end-to-end with minimal oversight, translate regulatory requirements into clear asks for technical teams, and hold their own in conversations about infrastructure and controls without needing a translator. If you have experience at a DCM or DCO and know what regulators actually look for during an examination, you will hit the ground running.

What You'll Do

• Draft, update, and version-control compliance policies, procedures, and self-certification filings related to system safeguards and electronic trading controls.

• Maintain all documentation required under CFTC Regulations 38.1051 and 39.18, including enterprise risk management, information security, and business continuity program records.
