Job Description:
What is Kalshi? Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction
markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events
and turn any question about the future into a financial asset.
Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US
for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing
financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across
politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and
more. We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the
largest financial market because they turn anything into a
financial position. Our vision: well… build the largest financial
market on the planet. Our mission: bring more truth to the world
through the power of markets. Our culture is simple: we hire really
talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are
