Your work directly impacts real-time trading systems, compliance auditing, fraud detection, and product analytics.
Operating in the fast-paced crypto space means handling unprecedented spikes in market volatility and data volume.

You will collaborate closely with software engineers, quantitative analysts, and product managers to turn raw blockchain and exchange data into actionable, production-ready data assets.
This role offers a unique opportunity to solve complex distributed systems problems at scale. Whether optimizing real-time streaming pipelines or designing robust batch-processing architectures, you will play a critical role in ensuring Kraken remains a trusted, data-driven leader in the global digital asset economy.
