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, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.\nWe believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.\nOur vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.\n\nOur mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.\n\nOur 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.\nRole Roadmap\nWe’re building a next-generation financial ecosystem - think NYSE or CME, rebuilt from scratch. As an Infrastructure Engineer at Kalshi, you’ll help design, build, and scale the systems that power our exchange, clearinghouse, API infrastructure, broker and market-maker connectivity, and more.\nWe are a small engineering team, which means your responsibilities scale rapidly and your impact is clear, visible, and foundational. Much of our infrastructure is still greenfield, and entire systems can be yours to design and own. You’ll work across the full infrastructure and DevOps stack to ensure reliability, speed, and robustness for one of the most ambitious financial platforms ever built.\nWhat You’ll Do\nBuild and standardize infrastructure for how software is built, versioned, tested, and deployed\n\nAutomate testing frameworks across the entire testing pyramid (unit, API, integration)\n\nArchitect large-scale systems with sound tradeoffs for performance, risk, and long-term maintainability\n\nDevelop and maintain infrastructure for high-performance data feeds and trading APIs\n\nSupport clearing systems with high availability and strict guarantees, including margining, collateral management, and banking integrations\n\nStress-test and harden critical systems for robustness and scalability\n\nShip fast and with high quality\n\nMake autonomous technical decisions - we offer flexibility, not hand-holding\n\nContribute to shaping Kalshi’s engineering culture as the company grows\n\nWhat You Bring\nRequired:\n3+ years of professional software engineering experience\n\nStrong technical fundamentals and comfort tackling complex engineering problems\n\nExcellent communication skills and a strong desire to learn\n\nDeep familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, RDS, Kafka, load balancing, etc.\n\nExperience creating or implementing processes and tooling that improve engineering efficiency\n\nDemonstrated ability to plan and drive large projects with long-term impact\n\nExcellent judgment and prioritization skills\n\nGrowth mindset, high slope, and eagerness to learn\n\nCraftsmanship: you care deeply about quality and outcomes\n\nAbility to ship extremely quickly\n\nStrong experience in one or more of:\nNetworking: debugging and resolving complex networking issues\n\nSecurity: certifications such as CISSP or CISM\n\nBonus Points:\nExperience building deployment systems in Kubernetes\n\nExperience designing dev/test environments in Kubernetes\n\nExperience building dynamic configuration systems\n\nNYC Pay Transparency Disclosure\nSalary Range: $100,000-$250,000 annually, plus equity and benefits.\nThis range reflects current market data for this role. Kalshi has minimal hierarchy and wide variance in experience levels within each title; if your compensation expectations exceed these bands, we encourage you to reach out - we’re always happy to discuss.\nOur Culture\nMeritocracy 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.\nKalshians are Kalshi’s most important asset: we pick Kalshians carefully, so we trust them fully on day 1.\nCommitment to Equal Opportunity\nKalshi is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law. If you are passionate about what you do and want to use your talents to support our mission and values, we’d love to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5041,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Stock Exchanges & Market Infrastructure"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-11-24T23:38:56Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 6","filings_12m":6,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":127500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.263,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":340,"expected_fill_days":65,"reasons":["conf:2","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kalshi-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kalshi-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T14:34:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22658,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6352},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6352"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkalshi-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkalshi-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkalshi-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kalshi-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkalshi-infrastructure-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":22556}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"kalshi.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":22556},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
