Markets Operations Analyst

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 CPI rise more than 0.5% this month?” 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 the Market Operations Analyst, you will be an early member of Kalshi's Market Operations team. We cater to retail customers, market makers and hedge funds, financial brokers, and institutional traders. The Market Operations team is responsible for launching new contracts and markets, running the exchange and synchronizing all of its functions from contracts development and product to engineering and regulation. We're scaling, which means your role will evolve and grow with the company; your initial responsibilities will include:

• Identifying potential use cases and markets to launch
• Speaking with prospective users to understand their needs
• Building a cohesive set of contracts around markets we target
• Creating operational blueprints for our engineering, product, and contracts teams to support our listed markets
• Running our listed markets' lifecycle: from listing all the way to closing and settlement (ie outcome determination)
• Develop new and streamline our current market management processes 
• Transforming market resolutions from the legal format to a digestible format
• Picking targets and strike prices for different contracts based on research in a lot of different areas (economics, entertainment, etc)

Attention to detail is critical for this role. Candidate with a background in law, economics, macro investing, or trading is a big plus. Basic computer science and modeling skills are also a plus, but not a requirement.
