WHAT IS KALSHI?
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, 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.
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.
THE ROLE
As a Senior IT Engineer at Kalshi, you will own our New York office's technology experience. You'll report to the lead of our Site Reliability Engineering team, bringing hands-on expertise to everything from IT support to facilities, compliance technology, security, and employee onboarding.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the office technology experience: Be the primary point of contact for IT needs in our New York office - hardware, software, networking, workspace setup, and everything in between.
- Employee onboarding: Lead the IT onboarding experience for all new hires, ensuring every Kalshian is set up and ready to hit the ground running on day one.
- Executive support: Provide dedicated technology support to senior leadership, handling their needs with speed and discretion.
- Compliance technology: Partner with the SRE and compliance teams to manage and maintain the tools and systems that keep Kalshi secure and audit-ready.
- Endpoint & systems management: Manage device provisioning, MDM, access controls, and software licensing across the organization.
- Process & documentation: Build and maintain IT processes, runbooks, and documentation that scale as the company grows.
- InfoSec & DevOps: For the right candidate, this role offers an on-ramp into security operations and infrastructure work alongside our SRE team.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 3–5+ years of IT experience, preferably at a technology or financial services company.
- Proven experience owning IT operations end-to-end, including hardware, networking, SaaS tools, and access management.
- Experience with Identity and Access Management (IAM) platforms such as Okta.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks and security best practices (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
- Experience supporting executive stakeholders.
- Strong ownership mentality: you don't wait to be asked and you follow things through to completion.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities can shift quickly.
NICE-TO-HAVES
- Scripting experience (Python, bash, etc)
- Networking fundamentals (APIs, HTTP)
- Cloud Computing (AWS, Azure, GCP)
