The posting

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF OPEN FINANCE

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 https://www.kraken.com/culture to understand what drives us and how we work.

THE TEAM

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 Core Infrastructure – Platforms team is responsible for the foundational platform that powers all Kraken on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

We design and operate the systems that enable all engineering at Kraken; bringing together compute, storage, orchestration, and more into a unified, reliable platform. You’ll join a senior group of engineers working closely with SRE, Networking, and Security to deliver a stable, scalable, and secure foundation for all workloads.

We’re looking for someone to help evolve and scale our OpenStack platform as a core part of our next-generation infrastructure.

THE OPPORTUNITY

- Own and resolve infrastructure support requests across our existing Nomad platform, helping engineering teams remove blockers and keep workloads running reliably

- Help operate and improve our existing infrastructure while contributing to its gradual migration toward the next-generation platform

- Gain hands-on experience across OpenStack platform operations: compute (Nova), networking (Neutron), and provisioning (Ironic)

- Learn storage systems fundamentals, including Ceph architecture, operations, and troubleshooting

- Handle feature requests and support tickets for both OpenStack and Storage systems, learning core concepts along the way

- Work with senior engineers to troubleshoot complex issues across the full stack, reducing operational burden from the team

- Understand how storage integrates with our infrastructure (whether through OpenStack Cinder or Kubernetes CSI)

- Build automation and tooling to improve team efficiency and reduce toil across both platforms

- Contribute to documentation and runbooks for operations and troubleshooting

- Participate in on-call rotation to maintain platform reliability

WHAT YOU BRING

- Proven experience of 3+ year of working as an Infrastructure/Platform/DevOps Engineer, Software Engineer or similar roles

- Strong passion for providing technical guidance to stakeholders, with excellent communication skills and a customer-focused approach to resolving compute / storage related requests, removing blockers, and enabling engineering teams to succeed

- Hands-on experience building and maintaining at least one of Openstack private cloud or Ceph networked storage platforms

- Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals

- Strong Linux systems knowledge: comfortable at the shell, understanding processes, networking basics, file systems, permissions

- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, ports, IP addressing, basic routing, TLS, PKI concepts

- Ability to leverage AI tools and agents such as Claude and OpenAI to efficiently deliver business value

- Scripting or programming experience (Python, Bash, Go, or similar)

NICE TO HAVES

- Hands-on experience with Nomad, particularly operating or troubleshooting production workloads

- Experience with Salt or other configuration-management systems such as Ansible

- Prior hands-on experience with OpenStack or other cloud platforms

- Experience with Ceph or other distributed storage systems

- Exposure to virtualization technologies or hypervisor operations

- Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform

- Experience with containerization (Docker) or Kubernetes

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
