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.

In this role, you'll be streamlining and improving HR processes to build the backbone of People Ops at one of the fastest growing financial startups in the country. You'll be a critical part of a small, high-ownership team, which means your work will be visible, your impact will be real, and there's a lot of green field to make your own. WHAT YOU'LL DO Compliance & Contracts - Draft, review, and coordinate hiring contracts and offers to ensure accuracy and compliance - Ensure all hiring, recordkeeping, and employee practices meet federal, state, and regulatory requirements - Maintain clean HR documentation and stay ahead of labor law updates - Support immigration, background checks, and other compliance wo
