The team

Our Krakenites are a world-class team with crypto conviction, united by our desire to discover and unlock the potential of crypto and blockchain technology.

Kraken’s mission is to accelerate the global adoption of crypto so that everyone can achieve financial freedom and financial inclusion. For more than a decade, Kraken has built one of the most trusted and secure platforms in the industry.

Crypto markets introduce entirely new categories of financial risk — stablecoin depegs, exchange failures, liquidity fragmentation, on-chain protocol risk, and 24/7 settlement cycles. Managing these risks requires rethinking traditional financial risk frameworks.

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Financial Risk to help design and build the systems that protect Kraken’s balance sheet and ecosystem as the industry evolves.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building risk frameworks from first principles, shaping how new crypto products launch safely, and working closely with product, treasury, and engineering teams.

The opportunity

As Senior Manager, Financial Risk, you will help design the financial risk architecture that underpins Kraken’s products, treasury, and platform infrastructure.

Rather than simply monitoring risk, this role focuses on building scalable frameworks that allow Kraken to innovate safely — whether launching new products, expanding into new markets, or integrating with on-chain ecosystems.

You will partner with teams across the company to ensure risk considerations are embedded early in product design, rather than applied after the fact.

Design Financial Risk Frameworks

• Build and evolve Kraken’s financial risk frameworks covering counterparty risk, treasury risk, payment rails, and crypto market structure

• Define exposure methodologies and risk limits for exchanges, custodians, banks, liquidity providers, and DeFi protocols

• Design governance processes that enable safe scaling of Kraken’s financial ecosystem

Shape Product & Platform Risk

• Partner with product and engineering teams to evaluate and shape new products before launch

• Identify financial risks across margin, derivatives, staking
