Description For Site Reliability Engineer

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.

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Kalshi, you'll be part of building a next-generation financial ecosystem (think NYSE or CME from scratch). Being a small team means your responsibilities scale rapidly, and your contributions are clear and visible. You'll work on improving observability, reliability and availability, build automation systems, collaborate with infrastructure teams, and be responsible for the security and operational integrity of the platform.

The role requires strong technical skills in system design, coding, and debugging. You'll need excellent communication abilities and experience with cloud deployments, monitoring systems, and high-throughput systems. The position includes on-call responsibilities and requires at least 5 years of software engineering experience.

Kalshi offers a meritocratic culture where ownership and problem-solving are valued. The company is committed to building something impactful - a product that brings more truth through the power of markets. They carefully select team members and trust them fully from day one.

The compensation package includes a salary range of $100,000 to $250,000 annually plus equity and benefits.
