Kalshi•New York, NY

1d•$180,000 - $300,000

About The Position

Kalshi is a rapidly growing financial market company that has legalized prediction markets in the US. We are looking for an ambitious and exceptional Motion Designer to own motion across both our brand and product. This role involves creating motion content for campaigns, social media, product launches, and ads, as well as designing in-app animations, micro-interactions, and onboarding flows. You will also develop and maintain Kalshi's motion language and collaborate with design, product, and marketing teams, having end-to-end ownership from concept to engineering handoff.

Requirements

A portfolio that shows range, ideally including both brand motion and product/UI animation
Strong design sensibility across timing, easing, typography, and composition
Ability to work across two very different contexts (expressive brand work and functional product motion) without conflating the two
Comfortable owning work end-to-end with minimal direction
Experience collaborating with engineers on animation implementation

Responsibilities

Design and produce motion content for Kalshi's brand: social, campaigns, product launches, ads, and anything else that needs to move
Own in-app animation and interaction design: micro-interactions, onboarding flows, loading states, transitions, and UI motion that makes the product feel polished and intentional
Build and export production-ready animations for engineering using Lottie and other handoff formats
Develop and maintain Kalshi's motion language, creating a system of timing, easing, and animation principles that keep everything consistent across brand and product
Collaborate with product designers and engineers to ensure motion is implemented accurately and performantly
Concept and execute motion work independently from brief to final delivery
