PROOF OF WORK


THE TEAM

The Crypto Backoffice team is where blockchain meets the business. We own the services that turn on-chain data into fund movements, regulatory compliance, liquidity management and signing operations at scale.

We own the processes that keep Kraken's funds in the right place. We manage wallets, on-chain positions, and regulatory segregations across 120+ chains — ensuring liquidity is where it needs to be for the business to operate smoothly while satisfying all internal and external requirements.


THE OPPORTUNITY

- Design and implement high-throughput, low-latency services and libraries in Rust and TypeScript

- Manage the full lifecycle of on-chain wallets across blockchains - from derivation to ownership, at the scale of a global exchange

- Build and maintain the systems that ensure liquidity for clients while maintaining strict compliance with regulatory requirements

- Own the core services that give the rest of the exchange visibility into on-chain state

- Design and implement integrations with third-party providers to move funds efficiently across chains

- Collaborate closely with stakeholders to deliver first-class treasury management tools

- Contribute to internal tooling, documentation, and standards that raise the bar for the whole org
