About Polygon Labs

Polygon Labs is a global blockchain payments company building and operating infrastructure to move money instantly, reliably, and at internet scale, with the mission to move all money onchain. It is building the Polygon Open Money Stack, an open and integrated stack of services and technologies to instantly and reliably move money anywhere, and put it to work. Its infrastructure has facilitated trillions of dollars in onchain value transfer and supported millions of transactions daily for some of the globe's largest banks, fintechs, enterprises, and consumer applications.

Your Role

The Polygon Open Money Stack promises instant cross-border settlement at guaranteed delivery rates. That promise is only as good as the capital behind it. This is Polygon's first dedicated payments liquidity hire, sitting inside the commercial team that owns the OMS P&L and reporting directly to the Head of Business. You will build and run the treasury operations function from the ground up: owning corridor capital deployment, pricing the economics into deals in real time, and managing the liquidity book from first corridor to a scaled, multi-team function.

Your Responsibilities

• Own capital orchestration across all OMS corridors: decide where liquidity sits, how it moves, and what each corridor costs per dollar moved, operating from real customer demand data rather than month-end reporting
• Run intraday funding and rebalancing decisions across active corridors — executing transactions directly for Polygon's liquidity book and instructing aggregator partners (Bitso, Thunes, and others) on sourcing and top-ups, staying ahead of cut-offs before customers feel any impact
• Price treasury cost into deals on the sales call, not after it: give the commercial team a live answer on corridor unit economics ("32 bps works if we deploy $1.8M; below that we break margin") and call the deal dead when the numbers don't hold
• Define and operate the shared corridor capital model with Finance, so real-time commercial decisions and corporate capital governance run from a single set of numbers within pre-approved limits
• Manage the FX hedge book daily: decide between locked rate and real-time conversion per customer flow profile, watch for spread deviation, and adjust hedging structure as volumes shift
• Manage stablecoin and fiat liquidity across banking partners, exchanges, and on-chain venues, including Talos integrations and LP contract negotiations
• Build the AI-driven liquidity sourcing engine: use Claude and related tooling to automate corridor pricing analysis, hedge book monitoring, counterparty reporting, and deal economics modelling, shifting decisions that can be systematised away from manual judgement
• Track exposure, cost, speed, and risk per corridor and report a clear picture to OMS leadership and the CFO quarterly, with rate card recommendations grounded in actual corridor P&L
• Embed the liquidity operations model into the Polygon OMS product by working directly with the Product team, translating corridor mechanics and capital requirements into infrastructure decisions
• Set the triggers and staffing plan for when this function scales: define when dedicated underwriting, monitoring, and collections roles are needed as the credit book grows, and build the team around the expanding book

What You'll Need

• Demonstrated intraday capital management: you have run a live book at a payments company, OTC desk, market maker, prop trading firm, or bank funding desk — you know what it feels like when a cut-off is 20 minutes away
• Hands-on cross-border payments experience: you have managed FX exposure, multi-currency liquidity, and corridor-level operations, and stablecoin or crypto treasury experience is a non-negotiable given the on-chain components of this role
• Full ownership instinct: you have built or run a function alone, without a team around you to absorb the slack — you write the model, run the book, and answer for the results
• Operational speed within defined limits: you treat capital ceilings and credit policy as the rules of the game, act inside them without seeking approval on every decision, and escalate the right things at the right moment
• Commercial fluency: you can defend a "no" to a sales rep and present a capital request to a CFO in the same afternoon, in plain language, with the numbers to back it up
• Proven daily AI usage: you have built AI-assisted workflows using tools like Claude or equivalent (in a professional or personal project context) for tasks such as deal economics modelling, liquidity analysis, or automated monitoring — building an AI-driven liquidity sourcing engine is a core part of this role, not a future ambition

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with aggregator relationships (Bitso, Thunes, or similar) including operational setup, FX execution windows, and failover protocols
• Familiarity with Talos or equivalent treasury management and trading infrastructure
• Experience building or contributing to pricing models for cross-border payment corridors at a fintech or payments infrastructure company
