Distributed Systems

About the role

  • Build and ship AI-powered agent systems that automate internal workflows and decision paths
  • Design and implement inference pipelines that reason over user interactions across internal systems
  • Prototype quickly to validate agent behaviors, then productionize what proves valuable
  • Architect backend services that integrate with multiple internal APIs and data sources
  • Define patterns for safe, observable, and controllable agent execution
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to identify high-leverage automation opportunities
  • Improve system speed, reliability, and signal quality as usage scales
  • Contribute to foundational design decisions for a 0→1 agent platform

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building and shipping production software systems
  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, reliability)
  • Experience building fullstack systems, with comfort working across backend and occasional frontend surfaces
  • Hands-on experience working with AI/ML systems, LLMs, or inference pipelines in production
  • Ability to prototype rapidly while maintaining a clear path to production-grade architecture
  • Strong systems thinking — able to reason about orchestration, failure modes, and observability
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, 0→1 environments with high ownership
  • Experience building or operating agent-based systems or autonomous workflows is a nice to have
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, or model performance tuning is a nice to have
  • Experience integrating with internal enterprise systems (CRM, support tools, analytics platforms, etc.) is a nice to have
  • Background in building developer platforms or internal tooling is a nice to have
  • Experience designing guardrails, sandboxing, or safety layers for AI systems is a nice to have
Benefits
  • Kraken is committed to industry-leading security, crypto education, and world-class client support through our products like Kraken Pro, Desktop, Wallet, and Kraken Futures.
  • 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!
