Kraken is looking to accelerate the global adoption of crypto and blockchain technology by building the experiences that connect people to their ecosystem for the first time and keep them coming back. The Growth Engineering team designs and ships the systems behind marketing funnels, signup and KYC flows, and key engagement features to drive user growth, global reach, and user engagement at scale.
Requirements
- Proficiency in building full-stack s using one of the following: TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, or Ruby, and React or React Native.
- Understanding of distributed systems, performance optimization, debugging, and secure software design.
- Familiarity with infrastructure and tooling such as Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis, or GitLab CI/CD.
- Experience with A/B testing, analytics instrumentation, or experimentation platforms.
- Familiarity with data analysis tools or experimentation frameworks.
Responsibilities
- 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 what drives user behavior.
- Uphold and improve engineering standards, performance, and security practices across the stack.
- Partner with product managers, designers, and analysts to identify growth opportunities and turn them into high-quality, data-driven engineering solutions.
Other
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including building and maintaining production systems at scale.
- A product mindset — you care about how your work moves key metrics, not just about the code itself.
- Ability to operate autonomously in a globally distributed, remote-first environment.
- Background in growth engineering, user funnels, lifecycle, or conversion optimization.
- Please note, applicants are permitted to redact or remove information on their resume that identifies age, date of birth, or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution.
