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.\nWe're growing quickly, both in terms of volume ($115B traded to date) 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.\nAbout the Role\nPolymarket is looking for a Senior Data Scientist / Analyst, Growth to own full-funnel GTM analytics across the business. You'll be accountable for understanding how users find us, what turns them into traders, and what brings them back.\nThis is a role for someone who wants to own a number rather than staff a request queue. You'll set the analytical agenda for your vertical: deciding what's worth measuring, telling marketing where the next dollar should go, and making the case when the data says the current plan is wrong. And you'll do it in a fast-moving environment where new markets launch constantly and the growth playbook changes with them.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn full-funnel analytics for your vertical, from paid acquisition through first trade to repeat engagement, and be the person who can explain what is driving each step\n\nPartner with marketing on spend efficiency including CAC, ROAS, payback period, and channel mix, and make the call on where incremental dollars should go\n\nSize and prioritize growth opportunities within your vertical: which leagues, events, or market types deserve investment, and what the return is likely to look like\n\nDesign and read experiments across creative, lifecycle, and onboarding, and hold a clear line on what did and did not work\n\nBuild the cohort, funnel, and retention analyses that show how your vertical's users behave differently from the rest of the platform\n\nBe the analytical voice in your vertical's planning, bringing the numbers that set the targets, then hold the team accountable to them\n\nWork with analytics engineers to turn your recurring analyses into durable models rather than one-off queries\n\nWrite end-to-end documentation that’s clear and thorough enough that anyone on the team can pick up your analysis without friction\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n7+ years in growth, marketing, or product analytics, with a track record of owning a business area end-to-end\n\nExpert SQL. You can go from raw event tables to a defensible answer without help\n\nDeep fluency in full-funnel GTM metrics including CAC, ROAS, payback, conversion rate, retention, LTV, and the judgment to know when each one is misleading\n\nExperience embedded with marketing and product teams as a partner in the work, not a downstream request queue\n\nComfort with ambiguity. You can scope a vague question into a real analysis and defend the assumptions you made along the way\n\nStrong communication. You can take a complex analysis to a non-technical audience and land the recommendation\n\nComfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where business logic changes frequently and you need to keep pace\n\n(Plus) Data science background: experimentation design, causal inference, or predictive modeling in Python or R\n\n(Plus) Genuine interest or expertise in one of our verticals, whether that is sports, crypto, or politics\n\n(Plus) Experience in fintech, crypto, prediction markets, or other data-intensive financial products\n\nBenefits\nCompetitive salary & equity\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nFull Health, Vision, & Dental coverage\n\n401k match\n\nHardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories\n\nPay Transparency\nBase salary range: $200,000 to $300,000 annually, plus equity and benefits.\nThis range reflects a good-faith estimate for this position. Experience levels vary widely within a title here, so please reach out even if your expectations fall outside it. We're always happy to chat.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4098,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Apple Macbook","Equity","Growth opportunities","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Web3 & dApps","iGaming & Gambling"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-12T15:26:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.734,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":67,"expected_fill_days":51,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/polymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/polymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T09:02:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6274,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":604},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=604"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpolymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpolymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpolymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/polymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpolymarket-senior-data-scientist-analyst-growth"}]}
