Proof of Work

The team

In the wild west of crypto, our Account Security team plays a vital role as a beacon of safety and assurance for our clients. As an Account Security Specialist, you will be working alongside a team of vigilant and security-focused individuals who have sharpened their ability to detect danger before, while, and after it happens.

Kraken is one of the oldest, most secure exchanges out there, and that wouldn’t be possible without the talent and efforts from our team. From the slightest of security concerns, to compromised accounts, our Account Security team works together to provide 6-star support, and ensure that our clients feel confident in using Kraken for their crypto exploration.

The Client Engagement Account Security group is looking for a new specialist to join the team in a temporary 6-month position. This is an entry level position in which you would start in the Account Access group. As an Account Security Specialist, you will effectively be acting as a gatekeeper, assisting clients in regaining access to their Kraken accounts and ensuring illicit actors are kept at bay. You will analyze information provided by clients and combine it with a thorough review of Admin logs to determine if we are in contact with the true account owner. An ideal candidate will have very strong attention to detail, critical thinking skills and a healthy level of paranoia. 

New specialists on the team would start out as a Level 1, where they would be expected to complete a thorough analysis of accounts, and then forward the ticket to senior specialists who would then take the required actions on the account. Level 1 is essentially our training ground with an estimated duration of 2 to 3 months.
