Undisclosed
The listing is advertised as remote but does not state which countries or regions candidates may work from.
Why this role is Undisclosed
We only label a role Work from anywhere, Region restricted or Work from home when the employer's own wording says so. We checked this advert under our current rules and found no country or region eligibility requirement in it. We don't guess, so it stays Undisclosed until the employer publishes enough location information. Here is exactly what the advert left out.
- Countries you can work from: Not stated. The advert only gives "Remote", which names no country you must live in.
- Whether the work is remote: Never mentioned. The role reached us through a remote job board, but the advert itself doesn't say the work is remote.
- Working hours: Not stated. No timezone overlap or set hours are mentioned, so assume nothing either way.
Worth a look all the same. Missing wording is usually a rushed job posting rather than a closed door, so ask where you can be based in your first message, before you write a tailored application.
What the employer says
- Source listing states candidate location: "Remote"
What Nomaders makes of it
- No residency or region requirement found in the job description
- Check with the employer before assuming you can work from abroad
The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.

About the Role
Polymarket is looking for a US Control Desk Operator / Analyst to sit at the intersection of market operations, risk oversight, compliance, and technology — serving as a critical first line of defense for our CFTC-regulated Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) and Designated Contract Market (DCM). This is a shift-based role running 4:00 PM – 12:30 AM, supporting one of the most dynamic 24/7 trading platforms in the industry.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with CFTC regulatory frameworks, but more importantly, brings a relentless roll-up-your-sleeves mentality. We need someone who can flawlessly execute manual operational tasks today while working with our engineers to automate them for tomorrow. This role reports directly to the Head of Regulatory Operations.
What You'll Do
Execute critical, time-sensitive manual workflows including resolving trading instruments when automated data providers (oracles) fail and performing manual ledger reconciliations
Action, review, and reconcile daily transactions — ACH deposits, wire transfers, and withdrawals — ensuring proper flow of funds
Process manual KYC/KYB applications that trigger heightened risk flags; conduct deep-dive AML research on user profiles to prevent fraud
Serve as the investigative backbone for the CX team — research transaction logs, data feeds, and contract specifications to resolve user disputes
Identify process inefficiencies, draft clear technical specifications, and partner with engineers to automate repetitive workflows
Critically evaluate existing SOPs and speak up when a policy or process doesn't make sense or could be optimized
Maintain real-time communication across the Control Desk, developers, external data vendors, and senior management including Legal and Compliance
Monitor compliance with rules governing FCMs and intermediaries; stay current on CFTC regulations, guidance, and enforcement trends to support internal policy and surveillance frameworks
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree required
3+ years of direct experience in clearing, settlement, reconciliation, or financial operations with hands-on break resolution as a core part of the role
Demonstrated familiarity with CFTC regulations, particularly Part 38 (DCM) and Part 39 (DCO), as well as FCM/intermediary oversight
Strong working knowledge of KYC, KYB, AML, and fraud prevention workflows including manual adjudication of high-risk or escalated cases
Proven track record with ACH, wire transfers, and withdrawal processing in a regulated or high-volume environment
Familiarity with technical concepts (APIs, SQL, databases) to effectively translate operational needs into engineering specs
Strong attention to detail under time pressure — you catch things others miss, consistently, when the stakes are real
Ability to write clear, precise process documentation and technical specifications that engineers can actually act on
