Proof of work

The team

Exchange Operations manages the day-to-day operation of Kraken’s spot and derivatives exchange, including all market configurations, admin tooling, and first-line incident response. The team operates critical internal systems such as Futures Admin and the Exchange Control Centre and works closely with Product and Engineering to ensure operational safety, accuracy, and scalability.

As an Exchange Operations Specialist, you will be responsible for executing and validating exchange configurations, monitoring platform health, and responding to incidents in real time. While you may have a spot or derivatives focus, you will be fully cross-trained across all market types and admin systems.

This role is hands-on, detail-oriented, and critical to maintaining exchange stability in a 24/7/365 environment. You don’t need to have done this exact role before – what matters is strong systems thinking, strong product knowledge, attention to detail, and the ability to ramp quickly in a complex, high-impact environment.
