Summary

The team

Kraken is looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Senior Product Designer to join a newly created team and project within Kraken. Our mission is to move the economy away from fiat to stablecoins. People should not have to go through a centralized body to custody their money. Banks fail and mismanage customer funds all the time. DeFi gives the power back to the people - with the convenience of cash but the safety of digital assets. We are building embedded finance, but on DeFi rails. Enabling developers to open up DeFi wallets for their users, both self-custody and multi-sig, through easy-to-use SDKs for full onboarding and management for their accounts. 

We’re seeking a strong communicator and a collaborative team player who can decompose complex problems into manageable tasks. You’ll work alongside engineers across the team and organization, learning and exploring innovative ways to address issues and improve workflows.
