While Kraken Technologies is written and maintained by a 1,500+ person strong, multi‑discipline engineering team, you’ll be part of a new, early‑stage product division within Kraken Flow. Kraken Flow is a team of 40 people and is responsible for the development of an end‑to‑end business process management platform. The new web‑based tool allows internal teams and clients to configure, execute, and track their business processes, with a drag‑and‑drop workflow builder at its core.

• You’ll be a core contributor to the Kraken Flow workflow management experience, delighting users with powerful features around our drag‑and‑drop workflow builder, form builder, as well as management & analytics pages that are part of the user‑facing platform.

You’ll ensure clean software design, choice of right technologies, and participate in building an application to very high standards that is designed for tremendous global impact.
• As the team grows, you’ll onboard other team members, ensure good documentation, clean code and contribute to establishing a great developer experience.
• You’ll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change.
• As a supplier, we’re helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the energy market toward a lower carbon future.

• Experience with JavaScript frameworks, particularly the React stack; react‑node is a plus.

• Know how to develop websites that meet AAA accessibility guidelines.
• Can create code that works consistently across different browsers and platforms.
• Can take Figma designs and bring them to life in code.

• For the Kraken Flow web app, client‑side we use NextJS (React), Type Script, Zustand, and React Query to connect to our OpenAPI internal REST API, which is fully typed—including code‑gen for type generation.
• Server‑side, we mainly use Python & Django.
• We use AWS heavily, employing most of the “Hashistack” (e.g., Packer, Consul, Terraform) as part of a continuous deployment pipeline.

  dental
  , and vision insurance options including FSAs.
• Paid time off — we trust our employees to get the work done and take the time they need.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Parental leave
  . Biological, adoptive and foster parents are all eligible.
