[Hiring] Software Engineer - Rust - Core Engineering @Kraken

1mth ago - Kraken is hiring a remote Software Engineer - Rust - Core Engineering. ๐Ÿ’ธ Salary: usd 96,000 - 192,000 per year ๐Ÿ“Location: USA

Role Description

As a fully remote company, we have Krakenites in 70+ countries who speak over 50 languages. Krakenites are industry pioneers who develop premium crypto products for experienced traders, institutions, and newcomers to the space. Kraken is committed to:

  • Industry-leading security
  • Crypto education
  • World-class client support

The Platform and Core Engineering teams build the systems that make Kraken secure, resilient, and scalable. Their impact isnโ€™t measured by customer-facing features, but by the strength, correctness, and leverage of the foundations they create. These teams power Kraken systems behind the scenes โ€” enabling product teams to move fast while meeting the highest standards for reliability, compliance, and security.

Engineers design shared services, internal platforms, and critical infrastructure that support company-wide initiatives. They optimize for safety, scalability, observability, auditability, and operational excellence โ€” often operating in regulated, security-sensitive, and risk-heavy environments where precision matters.

Weโ€™re looking for engineers with deep systems ownership and an architecture-first mindset โ€” builders who take pride in long-lived services, thrive in complex environments, and are motivated by strengthening the backbone of the crypto ecosystem.

The opportunity includes:

  • Designing and implementing robust Rust services and foundational libraries that power Krakenโ€™s core infrastructure, prioritizing correctness, security, and long-term maintainability.
  • Writing reusable, testable, and highly efficient code built for scale, observability, and operational resilience in production environments.
  • Collaborating on large-scale distributed systems architecture, shaping low-latency, fault-tolerant services that support global trading and internal platforms.
  • Working alongside hundreds of experienced Rust engineers, contributing to a high-bar engineering culture grounded in ownership, rigor, and craftsmanship.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally building and scaling shared systems, internal platforms, and supporting multiple product roadmaps
  • Proficiency in writing network services or asynchronous code in Rust
  • Demonstrated commitment to a security-first mindset when designing systems
  • Capability to autonomously debug issues across the stack, including OS, network, and application layers
  • Familiarity with distributed systems and technologies, including RPC protocols, Kafka, and Event Driven Systems

Requirements

  • Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
  • Please note, applicants are permitted to redact or remove information on their resume that identifies age, date of birth, or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution.
  • We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories for employment on our team, assessing candidates in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

Benefits

  • Kraken is powered by people from around the world and we celebrate all Krakenites for their diverse talents, backgrounds, contributions and unique perspectives.
  • We hire strictly based on merit, meaning we seek out the candidates with the right abilities, knowledge, and skills considered the most suitable for the job.
  • We encourage you to apply for roles where you don't fully meet the listed requirements, especially if you're passionate or knowledgeable about crypto!
  • As an equal opportunity employer, we donโ€™t tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind.
