Role Roadmap
This is a real job.
We’re looking for someone whose parents said video games would never pay the bills. They were wrong, and you can tell them we said so.
As Kalshi’s GTA VI Researcher, you’ll begin at midnight on November 19 and play until you beat the story. You’ll stream the entire journey, investigate Leonida’s economy, and study what happens to the real economy when everyone suddenly has a “family emergency” on launch day.
We want the person who finds the optimal money-making strategy, builds a spreadsheet to prove it, and gets accused of ruining the game for everyone else.
What You’ll Do
Lock in for live launch. Launch-night stream starts at midnight, then play through the story at your own pace. Sleep and touching grass are both allowed (your schedule, your call).
Streams on Twitch or YouTube, cam on (thatʼs the deliverable format). How you run your stream is up to you.
An official State of the Leonida Economy address, based on your study of the Leonida economy.
Real-world fallout analysis: who called in “sick,” how DoorDash carried the entire nation through launch week, and how much productivity America lost.
Min-max everything. Find whatʼs broken, whatʼs mid, and whatʼs actually goated, and bring receipts.
Drop a weekly research report on the Leonida economy.
What You Bring
An established gamer and streamer with your own channel: 18+ years of life IRL, 10+ years of sweaty gaming, 3+ years of streaming experience.
Your own setup (equipment, internet, and software).
You need to know how a system works, how to optimize it, and whether the guide everyone is following is actually wrong.
Fees
$100,000-120,000 fixed project fee.
$15,000 project completion fee.
