Job 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 Product Designer to help craft the experience of prediction markets through elegant and simple UX and delightful product interactions. You will own the core customer journeys, including how our users discover, research, trade, manage their positions in, and reference prediction markets. Your role will push you to be close to customers and to bring creative solutions to their needs, including the ones they’re not aware of.

If you love creating moments of delight, you deeply care for our craft, 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.
  • Simplify and distill: promote accessibility to Kalshi and take complicated financial actions and turn them into elegant, simple, and easy to understand product flows. 
  • Research and talk to customers: refine and improve our understanding of our customers and their needs, including those they’re not aware of. 
  • Rapidly produce concepts and prototypes: apply an experimental and iterative  mindset to design and solution exploration. 

Oh…one more! Make us look pretty sleek :)

What we’re looking for: 

Attributes: 

  • 5+ years of experience in product design
  • A compelling portfolio showcasing your ability to craft delightful product experiences (show us!)
  • Deeply in love with your craft, obsessive over design details, and focused on excellence in execution. 
  • Strong customer intuition and consumer sensibility
  • Ability to move fast and adjust quickly, in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Passion for prediction markets and/or financial markets
  • (Bonus) past experience in consumer fintech or trading

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.
