About The Position

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 looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets. Role Roadmap We are building the financial plumbing of a next-generation exchange. As a Financial Operations Associate, you will be an early member of Kalshi’s Finance team. Our participants include retail customers, market makers and hedge funds, and institutional traders. The Financial Operations team ensures that every dollar entering and leaving the Exchange, the Clearing Organization, and all connected systems is accurately tracked, reconciled, and understood. We are scaling quickly, which means your role will grow with the company. You will begin by owning core financial processes and evolve into owning systems, strategy, and cross-functional initiatives.
