IAM Engineer

Join our Identity and Access Management (IAM) team and help secure the foundation of Kraken’s digital infrastructure. We leverage tools like Okta and ConductorOne to build a seamless, secure, and scalable access ecosystem - one that empowers users while meeting the highest standards of regulatory compliance.

Securely managing credentials/access in Crypto comes with unique and exciting challenges. We’re solving problems like:

- “How do we manage access for apps that don’t support SSO?”

- “How do we implement ABAC and RBAC to deliver intelligent birthright access?”

- “How can we enforce strong access controls without slowing down engineers and business teams?”

We're a team that values creativity, speed, and precision and we’re looking for someone equally passionate about building secure, user-friendly access systems.

- Drive adoption of scalable access controls including RBAC, ABAC, and JIT models

- Partner with compliance and audit teams to ensure access aligns with frameworks like SOX, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001

- Collaborate on large, cross-functional projects across security, engineering and IT

- Mentor junior engineers and promote IAM best practices across the organization

- Support access integration for mergers & acquisitions - onboarding acquired companies and their identity systems into our access ecosystem

- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills; intellectually curious and detail-oriented

- Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment, adapt to shifting priorities, and absorb new concepts quickly

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when interfacing with stakeholders from technical and non-technical backgrounds

- Experience supporting mergers & acquisitions (M&A) from an IAM perspective - integrating identity, access, and joiner/mover/leaver processes for acquired companies and their existing tooling
