If you live for punchy, scroll-stopping edits and you’ve got receipts (viral clips you cut), Kalshi’s looking for you. This role is built around a massive nationwide campaign that’ll require hundreds of short-form videos, so speed, taste, and consistency matter just as much as creativity.

Quick gut-check (because you said you want the truth): if you can’t point to at least 3–5 viral or high-performing edits you personally cut, this job will eat your application alive. They’re explicitly screening for “I’ve done this before” not “I could learn.”
Action step: Paste 3–5 links to your best short-form edits (and their metrics if you have them: views, watch time, saves, shares). I’ll help you pick the strongest set and write a clean, results-driven “why me” blurb you can drop into the application.
Happy Hunting,
