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\nAs a member of Kalshi’s engineering team, you’ll help build the next-generation financial ecosystem-similar in ambition to creating an NYSE or CME from scratch. As part of a small, fast-moving team, your responsibilities will scale rapidly, and your impact will be highly visible. Much of Kalshi’s infrastructure is still greenfield, and entire systems can be yours to design, own, and evolve.\nWhat You’ll Do\nImprove observability, reliability, and service availability by defining and measuring key metrics\n\nBuild automation and systems that eliminate toil and reduce operational burden\n\nCollaborate with core infrastructure engineers to performance-tune and optimize cloud deployments (Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, EC2, etc.)\n\nPartner with product teams to minimize service disruptions and automate incident response\n\nIdentify and analyze reliability problems across the stack, designing and implementing software for significant, long-term improvements\n\nMentor engineers and drive a culture where reliability is a core engineering value\n\nWrite high-quality, well-tested code that supports internal and external customer needs\n\nDebug complex technical issues and improve system usability, operability, and diagnosability\n\nReview feature designs across the company and ensure security, safety, scalability, and architectural clarity\n\nBuild and maintain integrations with third-party vendors\n\nParticipate in on-call rotations to troubleshoot and resolve urgent issues\n\nWhat You Bring\n4+ years of software engineering experience\n\nExperience designing, building, scaling, and maintaining production services and service-oriented architectures\n\nStrong system design, coding, debugging, performance-tuning, and observability skills\n\nHigh-quality coding practices with strong testing discipline\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication; comfort working transparently across teams\n\nStrong interpersonal skills across junior-to-principal engineering levels\n\nAbility to think clearly under pressure and dive into any layer of the stack\n\nPassion for building an open financial system that connects the world\n\nWillingness to participate in on-call rotations and swiftly resolve issues\n\nBonus Points:\nExperience designing highly reliable, high-throughput, low-latency systems\n\nExperience with Datadog\n\nExperience with Rust, Go, and Terraform\n\nExperience with AWS, GCP, or Azure\n\nExperience operating in regulated environments\n\nExperience writing training materials or company-facing engineering content\n\nNYC Pay Transparency\nSalary: $100,000-$250,000 annually, plus equity and benefits.\nThese ranges reflect current market data. If your expectations exceed this range, we encourage you to reach out; we’re always open to conversation.\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":4931,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"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":"2025-12-04T16:04:53Z"}],"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":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.3,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":332,"expected_fill_days":83,"reasons":["conf:1","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kalshi-site-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kalshi-site-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T21:52:47Z","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":30622,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"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-site-reliability-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-site-reliability-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-site-reliability-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-site-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkalshi-site-reliability-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":22555}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"kalshi.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":22555},"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.
