What we're up to
Kalshi has launched the first regulated financial exchange that allows people to trade on the anticipated outcome of events. We’re now looking for the right people to help us continue to grow and scale.
Our vision is to allow people to capitalize on their opinions and hedge risks that relate to their everyday lives, from "Will interest rates increase” to "Will 2023 be the hottest year on record?"
We're on a long journey in uncharted territories and are looking for passionate and outlier members excited to embark on this voyage towards building the future of the financial system.
Role Roadmap
As a Frontend Engineer, you'll be part of the SWAT team in charge of building the trading experience and user-facing platform of Kalshi. You won't just implement specifications, but instead, get to be part of the product development cycle and conceive entire features before developing. You'll engage with our user base and use your product intuition to build something they love. We're scaling, which means your role will evolve and grow with the company; your initial attack threads include:
- Building new features and flows across our web application
- Writing and maintaining frontend code to drive the product features
- Iterating with designers to ensure an impeccable visual flow and continuity on the platform
- Weighing customer feedback, business needs, and long-term goals to make product decisions
- Working with marketing and business development teams to increase user engagement and satisfaction
The rest of what the role looks like is up to you - a big part of our approach is that you get to chart your path as we grow and evolve. There's a lot of green field to conquer, we trust that you'll make a lot of it your own :)
About You
- 5+ years of React experience and extensive TypeScript experience
- Nice to haves: NextJS, and backend knowledge
- Attention to detail and good UI/UX intuition

What We Do
The first US federally regulated exchange where you can trade on the outcome of any event.
Kalshi’s historical regulatory approval from the CFTC enables it to offer a new asset class called “event contracts,” which allow traders to take positions on whether a future event will happen or not. Kalshi aims to enable investors to trade on almost anything with economic relevance from Covid numbers to whether a bill will pass in Congress, broadening the historical definition of what a commodity derivative is and paving the way for the futures market to catch up to the novel risks facing the economy today.
Kalshi is backed by Sequoia, Henry Kravis, Charles Schwab, and Y Combinator
