Operations Risk Analyst

Join Kalshi as an Operations Risk Analyst to ensure market stability and integrity. Monitor trading activity, manage operational risk, and contribute to the development of automated systems in a fast-growing financial market. What We’re Up To 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 over 1,900 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.
