What to know before you apply
- Personal trading rules. As a regulated exchange, Kalshi restricts what its staff can trade, including on its own platform. Expect strict rules and pre-clearance.
- Regulation is the job. Even non-legal roles touch the CFTC, state lawsuits and market integrity; reading up on the current fights helps (Utah lawsuit, CFTC swaps proposal).
- Know the product. Being able to explain how prices, fees and settlement work is an easy way to stand out (how Kalshi works, how Kalshi makes money).
- Compensation. Third-party sites publish salary estimates, but they vary widely; postings that include a range are the most reliable guide.
