Kraken’s Employee Value Proposition

Kraken is more than just a company: we are a culture.

We are building a bridge between a broken legacy system and a crypto-embedded future. We recognize that to achieve this, traditional work structures must also evolve.

To celebrate our 13th anniversary, we developed an Employee Value Proposition (EVP): providing candidates with the blueprint for how Kraken’s mission, culture, and values ​​have made us the 14th most loved place to work in the world.

What is an EVP?

An EVP is a statement of what you can expect from an employer – the organizational characteristics that will define your day-to-day work experience. It takes a holistic view of a workplace and often includes sections on culture, career development and benefits.

Our EVP helps candidates understand what motivates us. Typically, these are the same things that motivate potential employees who end up being a good fit for a role at Kraken (aka Krakenite). Our EVP inspires engagement, helps us attract the world’s best talent, and describes the Krakenite experience.

Mission first

Our mission guides everything we do at Kraken. We work hard to clearly explain our culture so we can attract the candidates who best fit our expectations.

We believe in universal access to a workplace where Kraken residents can invest in themselves and thrive as professionals. Just as we work to bridge the gap between traditional finance and crypto at large, we also provide the support, tools, and training needed to help people from all industries transition to working in crypto.

But it all starts with mission. And because mission is so important at Kraken, if you share our passion for helping people achieve financial independence, chances are Kraken is the place for you.

Join the revolution

We give Krakenites the tools and resources they need to build a career in crypto and create a more inclusive financial future.

Customer focus through security and transparency

Krakenites are known for our safety, customer focus, and superior product offerings. We are bold in our beliefs, comfortable thinking outside the box and sharing those ideas. We are candid, transparent, and direct, but always kind, collaborative, and humble. We value skills, knowledge, and abilities above credentials and presentation, ensuring our talented team is hired on merit.

Strong in autonomy

Our global asynchronous and remote work culture provides the flexibility to create a schedule that works for both your team and your personal life. Dive into impactful work that provides personal growth and fulfillment, learning daily from cryptocurrency experts. Chart your own career path and advance your career in cryptocurrency through our diverse learning and development programs.

We prioritize work-life balance, offering globally competitive compensation (with the option to earn some or all of your salary in cryptocurrency), flexible time off, and wellness benefits. Our annual retreats provide a unique opportunity for our global teams to come together, fostering diversity of thought and building meaningful working relationships.

Making things happen

Be part of a radically transparent environment where your voice is heard and respected. Our work environment is built on the core principles of authenticity, humility, and respect. We encourage caring and honest interactions.

You will collaborate with the brightest minds from over 70 countries, all passionate about the global adoption of crypto. Crypto is a fast-paced and dynamic industry. We see unknowns as opportunities to apply creative thinking and create innovative solutions, while remaining adaptable, adventurous and agile.

Committed to Crypto

Our conviction in cryptocurrency is at the heart of everything we do. We passionately believe in our mission to accelerate the global adoption of cryptocurrency, channeling this passion into Kraken’s products and services.

We support each other, always pull in the same direction, and commit to the operating principles that guide our journey to success. We embrace our values ​​of crypto conviction, optimal intent, innovation, collaboration, customer obsession, humility, productive paranoia, and global inclusion and put them into practice every day.

Curious autodidact

We value entrepreneurial, curious and self-starters. We are looking for dynamic and innovative people who approach complex problems with creative solutions, taking initiatives to foster their personal and professional development.

We believe this is your journey too and we encourage you to take charge of your growth while staying focused on achieving results, from personal career goals to company objectives.

Open-minded and responsible

We foster a culture of open-mindedness and accountability, where clear communication is essential. We embrace honest and humble communication with our fellow Krakenites and take responsibility for our actions.

We believe feedback is a gift, and we seek and value critical feedback as a tool for continuous improvement.
