TEAM OVERVIEW

KKR's Technology organization is a group of passionate technologists, enthusiastic about solving complex problems in ways that are beneficial not just for ourselves, but for the entire Firm. There are always opportunities to learn about the various alternative investment businesses in KKR and the technologies that are crucial to each of these businesses' success. By cultivating a helpful and friendly culture, business problems faced by technologists are sponsored and supported by business constituents that are keen on working together to help come to an efficient and broadly robust solution for all involved.

KKR is investing in wide scale modernization of both our technology stack and the way we approach managing that technology. Our current footprint is a globally distributed technology portfolio deployed both in on premise datacenters and within public cloud environments around the world. 

We are moving toward becoming a product-centric organization that deploys code into production multiple times per day across hundreds of business systems. By “code,” we mean everything from configuration, infrastructure (which we view as an extension of the product code base), product extensions / customizations, and core product code. Many of our systems are comprised of open-source and commercial products, and much of the complexity lies in the integration across these systems.
