Graphic Designer, Static Performance Creative

About Kalshi

Kalshi has created a new financial category called prediction markets, where people can trade on the outcome of events and transform questions about the future into financial positions. The company spent years legalizing prediction markets in the United States for the first time and is now the fastest-growing financial market in America, with thousands of markets covering politics, economics, finance, weather, technology, AI, culture, and more.

Kalshi believes prediction markets could become the world’s largest financial market because they can turn nearly anything into a tradable financial outcome. The company’s vision is to build the largest financial market on the planet, and its mission is to bring more truth into the world through markets.

Its culture emphasizes hiring highly capable people, working intensely, and enjoying the journey. Kalshi is looking for ambitious, exceptional people to join a relatively small team and help build the next generation of financial markets.
