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 — 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 hiring a Cloud Security Engineer to own the security posture of our AWS environment. You'll be embedded in our engineering and security teams, designing and enforcing security controls directly in infrastructure code, building guardrails that scale with the product, and reducing risk without slowing down engineering velocity.

This role is hands-on and highly cross-functional. You'll work closely with DevOps, Platform, and Application Engineering to make secure-by-default the path of least resistance.

What You'll Do

Own and continuously improve Polymarket's AWS security posture across accounts, regions, and services — including IAM policies, SCPs, VPC segmentation, and account-level security baselines

Review and contribute to IaC modules that encode security defaults; integrate automated security checks into the deployment pipeline including policy-as-code validation and misconfiguration scanning
