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 a Systems Administrator, you’ll be a key technical force behind our end-user tech stack—owning everything from cloud services and identity management to endpoint configuration and support infrastructure. You won’t just respond to tickets; you’ll actively build the internal systems that power the modern workplace.

About You

• Managing, configuring, and optimizing core systems like Azure AD, Okta, Intune, JAMF, O365, and others

The rest of the role is yours to shape. We have a lot of greenfield to build on, and we trust you’ll claim ownership and expand what’s possible.

About You

You bring a strong foundation in IT systems and a passion for solving problems at scale. You're excited by the idea of making tech work better—not just for individuals, but for the whole business.

You likely have:

• 3+ years of experience managing cloud-based and enterprise tech environments
  
  
• Deep knowledge of Office 365, Azure AD, Exchange Online, and SharePoint Online
