Job description

Polymarket is looking for a Senior iOS Engineer to help build our iOS product as we invest seriously in mobile. This is a high-ownership role for someone who understands what it takes to build a great trading or wagering experience on mobile - the performance requirements, the real-time data challenges, the UI patterns that make fast-moving information feel intuitive rather than overwhelming.

You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to deliver a high-quality iOS experience and help raise the bar across the mobile codebase. The right person has been in this world before: they know what a great trading or sportsbook app feels like from the inside, and they want to build something better., * Take end-to-end ownership of Polymarket’s iOS experience, from technical architecture and performance to product quality and release discipline

  • Make and own architectural decisions for the iOS platform, ensuring the codebase is built to scale and maintained with rigor as the product grows
  • Design and implement experiences that handle live market data, fast-moving prices, and real-time order state in a way that feels fast and reliable to users
  • Lead code reviews, establish strong iOS engineering standards, and help grow the capability of the broader mobile team
  • Work closely with product, design, and backend teams to align on priorities, define APIs and data contracts, and ship high-quality experiences end-to-end
  • Help shape how Polymarket thinks about mobile as a platform, including architecture decisions that set up the team for scale

Requirements

  • Significant iOS engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and owning high-quality iOS applications in production
  • Deep experience building trading, financial, or sportsbook applications - you understand the product domain and the technical demands that come with it
  • Strong knowledge of Swift and the iOS SDK, with solid instincts around performance, memory management, and real-time data handling
  • Experience building apps that consume live data feeds and display fast-moving information reliably and smoothly
  • A high bar for product quality - you care about how things feel, not just whether they work
  • Comfortable operating with broad ownership in a fast-moving environment
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills - you work well with product, design, and backend engineers
  • (Plus) Familiarity with WebSockets, streaming APIs, or other real-time data infrastructure
  • (Plus) Experience leading or mentoring iOS engineers
  • (Plus) Background in a high-growth startup environment

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary & equity
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
  • 401k match
  • Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
