It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients.\nWe’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join a small, dedicated growth and experimentation team within Krak, focused on accelerating acquisition, activation, engagement and trading activity across the Krak app. This is a frontend-leaning full-stack role: the majority of your work will be in React Native, supported by enough backend capability to take an experiment from idea to live without waiting on another team.\nRather than executing against a rigid roadmap, you’ll work closely with Product on a continuous pipeline of fast, lightweight experiments, owning each one from hypothesis through implementation, launch, measurement and iteration. The mandate is simple: find the highest-leverage opportunities to grow users and revenue, prove what works, and scale the winners - with direct, measurable impact on how millions of customers discover and use Kraken’s products.\nThe opportunity\nBuild and ship consumer-facing features quickly in React Native and TypeScript, favouring small, high-velocity experiments over long-running projects.\n\nOwn experiments end-to-end - hypothesis, design, build, launch, measurement and iteration - using platforms such as Statsig to test globally or within specific markets.\n\nImprove onboarding, activation and feature discovery to drive conversion, engagement and trading revenue, iterating rapidly on features that are already live.\n\nBuild viral acquisition features and value-add growth features on top of Krak’s existing product offering.\n\nContribute to backend services and APIs wherever an experiment requires it, so you can ship across the stack without being blocked. Our backend is primarily Rust; prior Rust experience is not expected, but enthusiasm for picking it up is.\n\nRead your own results, including trade-offs between conversion gains and other metrics, and decide whether to scale, iterate or kill - driving technical decisions autonomously amid evolving priorities and limited upfront planning.\n\nWhat you bring\n6+ years of software development experience building and shipping large-scale, consumer-facing applications. Strong, hands-on React and React Native experience is essential.\n\nDemonstrated experience running growth experiments at consumer-facing businesses, with measurable impact on conversion, activation, retention or revenue. This is a consumer growth role, so B2B or platform-only backgrounds are not a fit.\n\nWorking backend proficiency: you can design and implement services and APIs yourself. We care about backend fundamentals rather than any particular language, and you should be open to working in Rust.\n\nStrong JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals, with hands-on experience across APIs, WebSockets and real-time systems, mobile performance, testing, and modern development workflows.\n\nPractical experience designing, running and analysing A/B tests - feature flags, statistical significance, product analytics, funnel and cohort data - with the judgement to act decisively on what the results show.\n\nEnd-to-end ownership of product features and a strong product engineering mindset, with the initiative and adaptability to operate with minimal direction amid ambiguity and frequently changing priorities.\n\nNice to haves\nCustomer-facing product experience within fintech, digital banking, payments, trading or crypto.\n\nHands-on experience with Statsig or a comparable experimentation platform, including regional and global rollouts.\n\nRust experience, given our backend stack.\n\nSQL and self-serve analytics, so you can pull and interrogate your own data.\n\nAI fluency. Familiarity with how AI tools and patterns have fundamentally shifted your development workflow and problem-solving approach.\n\nNative mobile development (iOS/Android), distributed systems or microservices, or engineering within a hyperscaling consumer technology organisation.\n\nUnless a specific application deadline is stated in the job posting, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.\nPlease 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.\nWe 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.\nOur commitment\nPayward is powered by people from around the world and we celebrate the diverse talents, backgrounds, contributions, and unique perspectives that everyone brings to the table. We hire based on merit, seeking out people with the right abilities, knowledge, and skills for the job. 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.\nWe may ask candidates to complete job-related skills or work-style assessments as part of our hiring process.
