Proof of work The team Our Platform and Core Engineering teams build the systems that make Kraken secure, resilient, and scalable. Their impact isn’t measured by customer-facing features, but by the strength, correctness, and leverage of the foundations they create. These teams power Kraken systems behind the scenes — enabling product teams to move fast while meeting the highest standards for reliability, compliance, and security.
Engineers design shared services, internal platforms, and critical infrastructure that support company-wide initiatives. They optimize for safety, scalability, observability, auditability, and operational excellence — often operating in regulated, security-sensitive, and risk-heavy environments where precision matters.
We’re looking for engineers with deep systems ownership and an architecture-first mindset — builders who take pride in long-lived services, thrive in complex environments, and are motivated by strengthening the backbone of the crypto ecosystem.
The opportunity Design and implement robust Rust services and foundational libraries that power Kraken’s core infrastructure, prioritizing correctness, security, and long-term maintainability.
Write reusable, testable, and highly efficient code built for scale, observability, and operational resilience in production environments.
Collaborate on large-scale distributed systems architecture, shaping low-latency, fault-tolerant services that support global trading and internal platforms.
Work alongside hundreds of experienced Rust engineers, contributing to a high-bar engineering culture grounded in ownership, rigor, and craftsmanship.
Skills you should HODL 3+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally building and scaling shared systems, internal platforms, and supporting multiple product roadmaps
Proficiency in writing network services or asynchronous code in Rust
Demonstrated commitment to a security-first mindset when designing systems
Capability to autonomously debug issues across the stack, including OS, network, and application layers
Familiarity with distributed systems and technologies, including RPC protocols, Kafka, and Event Driven Systems
