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 2024 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.

Road Map

As a Systems Security Engineer and Cybersecurity expert, you will help build and scale both the core exchange and other security systems at Kalshi.

Some of the projects you may work on:

• Develop and implement robust security architectures for our cloud-based systems. 
• Conduct thorough vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and security audits to identify and mitigate potential security risks and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security measures into the overall system development life cycle.
• Design and implement security controls to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats. 
• Monitor and respond to security incidents.
• Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging threats, and best practices to continually enhance the organization’s security posture. 

About you

We are looking for intellectually curious, highly motivated individuals to be foundational members of our engineering team.  You should have deep experience with security best practices, strong critical thinking and analytical skills, an ability to manage ambiguity, and a knack for working across teams in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of experience in information security or cybersecurity.
• AWS Certification, Python, ideally experience in Fintech or Financial Services.
• Certified in CISSP, CISM, or CISM.
• Analytical Mindset: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data sets and identify patterns or anomalies.
• Communication: Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex information to diverse audiences.
