Description
Kalshi is defining a new category
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. Kalshi 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.
Building a new category is hard… like really hard. But it’s beautiful and deeply fulfilling. 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 looking for an outlier Growth Engineer to make Kalshi the fastest growing consumer product. You’ll be responsible for creating dashboards, charts, widgets, shareables, notifications, recommendation systems, and landing pages that will get people excited to sign up for Kalshi, share it with their friends, or check it regularly to know what’s happening in the world. This is a hardcore and hands-on product-engineering role: you will be building some of the primary user experiences on the Kalshi platform.
If you love making delightful and sticky products, you love moving fast, and you are excited to bring prediction markets to the world, this role is for you.
What you’ll do
- Create awe: build delightful product experiences that make our customers go from liking the product to loving it. Make people want to come back to Kalshi and share it with their friends
- Simplify and distill: develop user journeys that promote accessibility and turn complicated financial information into into elegant, simple, and compelling product flows
- Rapidly ship experiments and learn from them: apply an experimental and iterative mindset to the building process
- Analyzing performance metrics and user feedback: identify opportunities for improvement and optimization
- Build 0-1: Many of the things you will build do not exist yetTemplatize: Take what works and make it easy for non-engineers to use, so we can double down on what drives growth.
Oh…one more! Make Kalshi go viral :)
What we’re looking for:
Attributes:
- 3+ years of industry experience with strong programming skills and the ability to work across the full stack, emphasis on front-end (React + Typescript).
- Track-record of building viral applications and a knack for creating moments of delight
- Deeply in love with your craft, obsessive over design details, and focused on excellence in execution
- Strong customer intuition and consumer sensibility. Deep curiosity and desire not just to build to spec but to question requirements and enhance the product experience
- Ability to move fast and adjust quickly, in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
- Performance-minded
- Data driven, with experience running A/B tests with experimentation platforms
- Passion for prediction markets and/or financial markets
- (Nice to have) NextJS experience, extensive charting experience
- (Bonus) past experience in consumer fintech
Our Culture
Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. We are committed to our vision of building something big… but also useful: a product that brings more truth through the power of markets.
Kalshians are Kalshi’s most important asset: we pick Kalshians carefully, so we trust them fully on day 1.
