If you're applying: Apply to Engineering roles only if your stack matches the listed requirements, such as Golang, Rust, Kafka or Postgres. No roles opened in the last 30 days and several postings date to 2021–2023, so check each posting's date and ask whether it is actively hiring. The two Kalshi Trading LLC roles are with an affiliated trading entity, not the exchange itself.
If you're selling or recruiting: Call about the four exchange engineering roles (core exchange, clearinghouse, trading APIs), the two Kalshi Trading LLC trading roles, or the six Growth roles on TV, streaming and social. The velocity flag is freeze and several postings are years old, so confirm which openings are still being filled.
