We hire for ownership and intensity. We expect excellence. We give people the opportunity to build and the freedom to go deep. It’s the foundation of our culture and the reason Kraken continues to move forward quickly while others slow down.
But with high performance comes self-awareness. The same motivation that drives people to do great work also makes them restless when it’s time to tackle the next chapter. We want to make this transition as intentional as any other part of the Kraken experience. This is why we built Sail away.
Sail Away is a voluntary separation program for Krakenites who decide it’s time to move on to something new.
It offers a paid transition period, ongoing benefits and professional support. It’s not a safety net. It is a declaration of respect.
Freedom is not just something we talk about. It’s something we practice. We trust people to know when they’re in the right place and when it’s time to move on.
We believe in clarity. We’d rather help someone launch their next adventure with support and gratitude than pretend everything is okay. This is what Sail Away represents: trust in our people and trust in our culture.
If you leave Kraken, you leave with our respect and support. You’re part of a network of builders who helped shape one of crypto’s most important missions. And just because you’re leaving now doesn’t mean the journey with Kraken is over forever. It may not be the right place for you in this season, but seasons change. We keep the door open to those who have made their mark here and look forward to the possibility of high-achieving alumni returning in the future.
If you stay, you choose to be here for the right reasons: building the future of finance.
Culture is what happens when no one is watching. It’s the tone we set in how we treat each other and how we manage change. If you want to understand the core of Kraken, read Kraken Culture Explained.
It’s about freedom, responsibility and results. Sail Away is another way to live these values.
If you’re looking for comfort, there are easier places to work. If you are looking for purpose, ownership and real impact, come build with us.
