Kraken | Full remote, globally distributed | Full-time
DESCRIPTION: Kraken is one of the top cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide (and becoming more than that!). We build a lot of our modern backend code in Rust in various teams, and the Frontend in React (and React Native) and Angular.  There are many more roles as we're hoping to hire 100-200 engineers (developers, SREs/DevOps, data...) in 2021. Make sure to check our careers page.
Web/Mobile roles: React, NextJs, TailwindUi, Angular
Rust roles (backend or desktop): Core Backend (the core services of the exchange), Bank (the neo-bank we are building), Futures (the Futures/derivatives trading platform), Trading Technology (trading related services). We have a trading desktop app written in Rust with the Iced framework (<a href="). We hire backend, test and site reliability engineers starting at 2 years of experience. For dev roles, Rust experience is mandatory, but significant pet projects counts. I wrote a blog to provide more context on what the Core Backend team does and the profiles we are hiring: <a href=". Please read the blog before applying!
LOCATION: We are fully remote+global and have been for years. We also have some offices in around the world for those who like these.
ESTIMATED COMPENSATION: Depends on the role - we base our compensation on the top percentiles of US compensations and apply the same ranges wherever you live. All our offers have option packages. For an idea of the compensation, head to levels.fyi and check Google, Amazon or Apple comps per levels.
REMOTE: Some teams have timezone restrictions: Futures are centered around UTC, other teams are mostly Eastern Europe to US West Coast.
The Core Backend team is planning to expand its presence in APAC and is hiring outstanding engineers who are senior + self-driven + advanced in Rust, who agree to adapt their working hours to maximize overlap with US or EU at least until the group gets big enough to become fully autonomous.
VISA: No visa sponsorship
