• We work asynchronously across time zones, supporting each other with open communication and shared goals.

Your work will have a visible impact on how people discover, trust, and engage with Kraken’s products globally. By translating business goals into engineering solutions, you will help drive activation, retention, and monetization at scale.

• Partner with product managers, designers, and analysts to identify growth opportunities and transform them into data‑driven engineering solutions.
• Implement reusable services and components that power marketing campaigns, onboarding, KYC, and first‑funding experiences across web and mobile.
• Collaborate on distributed systems that handle large volumes of global traffic while maintaining high performance and reliability.
• Participate in design and architecture discussions, balancing user impact, scalability, and maintainability.
• Measure, experiment, and iterate using data and experimentation frameworks to understand user behavior.
• Uphold and improve engineering standards, performance and security practices across the stack.

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including building and maintaining production systems at scale.
• Proficiency building full‑stack applications using Type Script, Rust, Go, Python, or Ruby, and React or React Native.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, performance optimization, debugging, and secure software design.
• Familiarity with infrastructure and tooling such as Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, MySQL/Maria
  
  DB, Redis, or Git Lab CI/CD.
• A product mindset – you care about the metrics your work affects, not just the code.
• Ability to operate autonomously in a globally distributed, remote‑first environment.

• Experience with A/B testing, analytics instrumentation, or experimentation platforms.
• Background in growth engineering, user funnels, lifecycle, or conversion optimization.
• Familiarity with data analysis tools or experimentation frameworks.
