Description

What we're up to Kalshi is the first and only federally regulated exchange where people can trade on any event. Think like the NYSE, but instead of trading stocks, you trade on the events you know and care about. Kalshi has more than 500 markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more. After three years of regulatory struggle, Kalshi's historic regulatory approval from the CFTC has allowed it to launch a new asset class: event contracts. Event contracts, the fastest-growing asset class today, are elegant financial instruments structured as simple yes/no questions about the future. Kalshi's vision is to build the next-generation financial ecosystem for trading what we believe will be the largest asset class of all. Kalshi's vision is bold. We're on a long journey in uncharted territories. We are looking for passionate and outlier members excited to embark on this voyage toward building the financial system's next inflection point. Role Roadmap Position Overview We are seeking a talented and innovative Product Designer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a passion for building financial product, empathy for traders, a knack for transforming complex ideas into intuitive, accessible, and easy-to-use designs for our customers—from the first-time user to the expert trader. Key Responsibilities: Design the trading experience on the Kalshi platform. Conceptualize original ideas that bring simplicity and user-friendliness to complex design roadblocks. Create wireframes, storyboards, user flows, process flows, and site maps to effectively communicate interaction and design ideas. Work closely with founders and engineers to make complex ideas reality. Prioritize the most important elements of the Kalshi experience so we can effectively execute on our highest priorities. Conduct user research and evaluate user feedback to iterate on design solutions. Establish and promote design guidelines, best practices, and standards. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field. Years of proven experience as a product designer, UI/UX designer, or similar role. Experience building trading, investing, and/or financial products. Proficiency in Figma or other visual design and wireframing tools. Demonstrable design skills with a strong portfolio. Experience in using UX design best practices to design solutions and a deep understanding of mobile-first and responsive design. Ability to iterate designs and solutions efficiently and intelligently. Ability to clearly and effectively communicate design processes, ideas, and solutions to teams and stakeholders. A clear understanding of the importance of user-centered design and design thinking. NYC Pay Transparency Disclosure: Salary Range: $100,000 to $200,000 annually plus equity and benefits. This salary range is based on the current available market data, and represents the expected salary range for this role. Kalshi has minimal hierarchy and few titles, but has broad ranges of experience represented within roles. Should you have compensation expectations that exceed these bands, we'd love to hear from you and would welcome you to reach out to further discuss. Our Culture We are a group of people who work hard and get stuff done. Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big and climb the steeper mountain. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. We are committed to our vision of an improved financial ecosystem and our mission of bringing more truth to the world through the power of markets. Kalshians are, by far, Kalshi's largest asset: we pick our teammates carefully, but once we pick our teammates, we trust them deeply. Commitment to Equal Opportunity Kalshi is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
