The TeamKrakens Global Finance team is the operational backbone of one of the worlds most trusted and longest-standing crypto exchanges. The team spans accounting, FP&A, treasury, tax, and finance operations across multiple regulated entities and 70+ countries, managing the financial infrastructure that underpins everything from daily close to regulatory reporting to crypto-native asset reconciliation.
As financial complexity grows with Krakens global footprint, this role architectures and provides hands-on building to scale growth. Finance operations at a globally regulated crypto exchange manage close cycles, reconciliations, reporting, treasury monitoring, and controls validation, all generating substantial manual effort tied to critical financial and regulatory obligations. Errors carry audit, SOX, security, and regulatory consequences.
The OpportunityYou will serve as the primary architect and builder of the AI-native finance operating system s role spans two simultaneous horizons: deploying production automation now and redesigning the finance architecture for the long term. Responsibilities span five core areas:
Assess and map Finance operations- Evaluate how financial work currently flows across the organization, including close, reconciliations, treasury, reporting, controls validation, and audit preparation.
- Identify capability gaps, manual bottlenecks, and integration failure points across systems including Net Suite, Black Line, Kyriba, Fireblocks, and Lukka.

- Work directly with accounting, FP&A, treasury, and finance operations teams to translate process pain points into buildable automation requirements.
- Design the long-term architecture for an AI-native finance operating system. Define how agentic systems interact with financial infrastructure, data pipelines, and control and reporting frameworks.

- Build an agentic finance layer that runs alongside the existing stack today, automating workflows while defining the migration path toward a more scalable, AI-native architecture over time.
- Deploy production-grade agentic workflows that automate finance operations: reconciliations, close processes, audit and reporting preparation, treasury monitoring, financial analytics, and controls validation.
- Build using modern AI tooling including Claude and Anthropic APIs, Python-based orchestration, n8n or equivalent workflow engines, and MCP or similar agent coordination layers.
- Integrate internal and external systems by connecting APIs, data sources, and tools into unified automated workflows that deliver real operational leverage.
- Maintain human oversight where appropriate. Design for…
