As a fully remote company, we have Krakenites in 70+ countries who speak over 50 languages. Krakenites are industry pioneers who develop premium crypto products for experienced traders, institutions, and newcomers to the space. 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. **Become a Krakenite and build the future of crypto!** ### The Team We're looking for a **Senior Product Designer** to help shape the internal platforms, admin tools, and support experiences that power Kraken from the inside out. This is a hands-on IC role with real ownership: you'll take on complex, ambiguous design challenges and lead the design and delivery of tools used daily by our Operations, Support, Compliance and beyond, the people who keep Kraken running for millions of customers around the world. We're a hardworking team that moves fast and ships with purpose. We're straight-talking, no-nonsense, and deeply invested in the quality of what we build. We care about craft, we care about the colleagues who rely on our platforms, and we care about getting things right. If you're excited by hard problems, high standards, no egos, and the chance to meaningfully improve the working lives of people across Kraken, climb aboard. ### The Opportunity - Raise the bar across internal platforms and the customer-facing support portal by designing efficient, intuitive experiences that help both Kraken's teams and its customers get to resolution faster. - Shape and evolve the design patterns and systems used across our internal product suite, ensuring consistency and quality at scale. - Craft exceptional workflows by collaborating closely with other designers, product managers, engineers, and the operational stakeholders who use these platforms every day. - Influence decision-makers to uphold high standards of usability and experience quality, even in internal-facing contexts where UX is often an afterthought. - Own your work fully, taking accountability for design quality, outcomes, and measurable impact on team efficiency and satisfaction. Define and track the KPIs that tell you whether your work is actually making a difference. - Use data to inform your design decisions, drawing on usage metrics, research insights, and business context to prioritize the right problems and validate solutions. - Stay close to the people who use what you build by conducting research and gathering insights from internal users to continuously refine and improve your design direction. - Contribute actively to design reviews, both seeking and offering constructive, supportive feedback that helps raise team-wide standards. ### What Good Looks Like 1. **3 months.** You have the lay of the land. You've spent time with the teams who use what we build, you understand where the friction is, and you've shipped at least one improvement that made someone's day measurably better. You're contributing to design reviews, finding your footing with engineering and product partners, and already using AI tools to move faster through exploration and iteration. 2. **6 months.** You're owning a significant workstream end-to-end. Stakeholders are coming to you early, not just for sign-off. You've run at least one round of research with internal users and used it to shape a real decision. AI is a natural part of your workflow, helping you synthesize faster, prototype more, and spend your energy where it counts. 3. **12 months.** You've raised the bar. At least one core platform looks and works meaningfully better because of your involvement, and you can point to the impact. You're helping set the standard for how internal UX gets done at Kraken, including how the team thinks about and uses AI as part of the design process. ### Skills You Should HODL - 5+ years of end-to-end product design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong, high-quality work across complex problem spaces. - Strong UX and visual design skills. You can take on ambiguous, challenging problems and deliver solutions that are both thoughtful and user-centered. - Proficient with prototyping tools and techniques, and able to communicate ideas clearly across different audiences. - Comfortable owning high-impact features or projects end-to-end, while staying collaborative with peers and cross-functional partners. - Open to feedback, quick to iterate, and genuinely curious about improving your craft. - Data-informed in your approach. You balance user insights, business needs, and technical constraints when making design decisions. - Strong communicator and organizer, able to manage competing priorities and keep stakeholders aligned. - Solid grounding in human-centered design principles and research methods, with a track record of applying them to drive better outcomes. - Confident presenting and defending design decisions to both design and non-design audiences. - Familiarity with AI-powered tools like Cursor, Claude, or Codex, and an eagerness to use them to move faster and think bigger. - Experience designing admin tools, internal platforms, operator-facing products, or customer support experiences is a strong plus. *Unless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.* *Please note, applicants are permitted to redact or remove information on their resume that identifies age, date of birth, or dates of attendance at or graduation from an educational institution.* *We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories for employment on our team, assessing candidates in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.* Kraken is powered by people from around the world and we celebrate all Krakenites for their diverse talents, backgrounds, contributions and unique perspectives.
