Data Analyst – Payments & Blockchain at Kraken

At Kraken, the Payments & Blockchain team sits at the intersection of blockchain data, product behaviour, and financial infrastructure. We transform raw blockchain signals, payments logs, and platform usage into insight that guides product, trading, and operational decisions.

We dive deep into how users move liquidity, interact onchain, and transact through our payments rails, and we make that knowledge accessible, actionable, and scalable across the company.

You’ll build the models, metrics, and pipelines that deepen Kraken’s understanding of onchain behaviour and payments performance. You’ll analyze the movement of funds, liquidity patterns, product usage, and user behaviour to influence product improvements and operational efficiency.
