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
As our first product manager, you will be responsible for delivering delightful product experiences and building stuff people love (yes.. it does sound like a founder’s role and that’s not unintentional 🙃).
We are looking for high output, consumer-focused, and growth-oriented thinkers to help solve some of the most complex customer facing challenges ahead of us. Your mandate is simple: discover the most intuitive way to present prediction markets to people and spearhead them into mainstream adoption. You will work with design, engineering, operations, markets, growth, and data to elevate our current product experience, and define and deliver new ideas to life, end-to-end.
What you’ll do:
- Execute against the product vision: building an intuitive gateway into prediction markets.
- Obsess over our customers and their interactions with our product to deepen our understanding of their needs (including needs they don’t know to ask for).
- Own how our users discover, engage, research, trade, and manage their positions.
- Working with engineers, designers, data scientists, and growth marketers to craft delightful product experiences.
- Work with the founders to establish the product roadmap and prioritize projects based on what would deliver the most value to customers.
- Define, collect, and track metrics (both quantitative and qualitative) for product initiatives.
- Work with growth to craft the story around our new initiatives and drive successful product launches.
Oh…one more! We set out a goal to become one of the fastest shipping companies in the US: set a (really) high standard for speed and quality for our product team.
What we’re looking for:
Attributes:
- 5+ years of product management experience
- Experience with building high-quality consumer products
- Experience with using research, experimentation, and data to guide decision making
- Proven track record of consumer sensibility and taste (you built something delightful)
- Strong sense of urgency and deep intrinsic motivation
- Keep sense of discipline, prioritization, and attention to detail
- Passion for prediction markets and/or financial markets
- (Bonus) past experience in 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.

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
