Role RoadmapKalshi is the first CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange and the fastest-growing company in finance. We recently became the first US exchange to offer perpetuals in a regulated manner and launched KPOW, the first political index of its kind. We're hiring a Quant Researcher who will help build what comes next: new indices, new models, and quant problems across the exchange as the business scales. There's no playbook here. You'll own problems end to end, ship models into production, and work directly with engineering, product, and trading.
What You'll Do- Build and own quantitative models that go into production, not into decks
- Develop new indices and research problems across the exchange
- Work directly with engineering, product, and trading on problems that don't have established solutions
- Ramp fast on prediction markets and find the edges that others haven't seen yet
What You Bring- Very sharp, independent, and practical: you figure things out without needing a roadmap
- Strong math, stats, and quant finance background
- Comfortable with derivatives; familiarity with risk and VaR preferred
- Hands-on with Python, statistics, and ML models
- Strong quantitative degree from a leading university
- 2+ years of experience
