Visual Data Storyteller

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. ROLE ROADMAP Kalshi is looking for a Visual Data Storyteller to help us turn our rich data resources into engaging and beautiful visuals and human and compelling narratives. Your job sits at the intersection of data, design, and storytelling - you'll pull signals from our markets, weave them into interesting written stories, and work with our design team to craft eye-catching data visualizations, bringing our markets to life across platforms. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Mine Kalshi's market data for angles that are genuinely newsworthy, counterintuitive, or revealing (the kind of thing people share because it changes how they think about something) - Design and produce charts, interactive graphics, maps, and data visualizations that are as beautiful as they are informative - Translate complex datasets like probability distributions, time series, and correlations into visual formats that are immediately intuitive to a general audience - Push the aesthetic bar: typography, color, layout, and the difference between a visualization that informs and one that captivates - Pull, clean, and analyze market data - Write clear, sharp explanatory copy that gives visual work the context it needs to land - Work with communications, policy, and product to identify moments where data storytelling can drive coverage or shape narratives WHAT YOU BRING - 4+ years of experience in data journalism, visual storytelling, or a closely related field — with a portfolio that shows both analytical depth and genuine visual craft - Strong command of data analysis tools and the ability to go from raw data to insight without needing a data team to hold your hand - A design sensibility that goes beyond functional: you have opinions about color, hierarchy, and what makes a chart beautiful, not just accurate - Experience producing interactive or web-based visualizations - The ability to look at a dataset and find the angle that's surprising, relevant, and worth someone's time - Strong writing skills; you can explain a complex idea clearly and concisely NYC PAY TRANSPARENCY DISCLOSURE Salary Range: $130,000 to $220,000+ annually plus equity and benefits. This range reflects current market data for this role. Kalshi has minimal hierarchy and broad variance in experience levels within each title; if your compensation expectations exceed this range, we encourage you to reach out — we’re always happy to discuss. OUR CULTURE Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. We are committed to our vision of building something big… but also useful: a product that brings more truth through the power of markets. Kalshians are Kalshi’s most important asset: we pick Kalshians carefully, so we trust them fully on day 1. COMMITMENT TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Kalshi is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We belie
