Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.
Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our culture page to understand what drives us and how we work.
Founded in 2011, Kraken is one of the world's longest-standing crypto platforms, trusted by over 10 million individuals and institutions across the globe. It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients.
The Onchain Product team is building the next generation of financial products at Kraken, leveraging blockchain infrastructure to deliver faster, more transparent, and globally accessible financial services.
The team sits at the intersection of crypto, DeFi, and traditional finance, owning products that enable customers to earn yield, access tokenized assets, interact with onchain protocols, and participate in the emerging onchain economy. Working closely with Engineering, Design, Growth, Legal, and Partnerships, the team is responsible for identifying new opportunities, bringing innovative products to market, and helping position Kraken at the forefront of onchain finance.
Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for Kraken Wallet, aligned to customer needs and company goals
Own the wallet experience end-to-end, from onboarding and asset management to DeFi, payments, and onchain interactions
Design and deliver seamless wallet experiences by abstracting complex on-chain functionality into simple, user-friendly products.
Drive cross-functional execution across Engineering, Design, Growth, Security, and Operations to deliver high-impact features
Lead the full product lifecycle from discovery and prioritization through launch and iteration
Identify opportunities to improve wallet adoption, activation, retention, and engagement
Stay close to wallet, DeFi, stablecoin, and onchain ecosystem trends to inform product direction
Partner with internal teams and external ecosystem partners to evaluate integrations and expand wallet capabilities
Define and own key product metrics, using data and experimentation to drive continuous improvement
Help establish Kraken Wallet as the preferred gateway to the onchain economy through secure, intuitive, and innovative user experiences
Obsessive product sense with a consumer-first mindset — you sweat the details of every user interaction, use data to diagnose friction, and have an unrelenting drive to make experiences simpler, faster, and more intuitive
Capable and calculated risk-taker — you make bold product bets with conviction, move fast when the signal is there, and treat setbacks as learning opportunities rather than reasons to slow down
Deep technical fluency — you are comfortable in the weeds of system architecture, understand Web3 and on-chain fundamentals, can read and dabble in code, and do not leave hard technical problems solely to engineering
Proven stakeholder management skills, with experience navigating competing priorities and driving alignment in a dynamic, regulated environment
Macro-to-micro versatility: the ability to hold and defend a strategic view while staying close enough to the detail to make good product decisions
Well-rounded interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust quickly across diverse, distributed teams
Mission alignment: this is essential for all Krakenites and we expect our people to champion our mission, along with our vision and values
4+ years of product management experience with a clear track record of shipping meaningful consumer-facing products, and prior crypto, Web3, trading, gaming or banking experience is required
