Responsibilities

  • Own the End-to-End Equities Product Experience: Define and deliver the equities and tokenized equities product across Kraken Pro and Consumer Trading, encompassing frontend UX and backend product logic.
  • Build the One Equities Product: Create a seamless, unified experience for users to access both off-chain and on-chain equities through a single product architecture and interface.
  • Integrate Crypto & Equities Trading: Develop intuitive cross-asset trading flows, enabling users to move between crypto and equities fluidly and natively within both ecosystems.
  • Design Crypto-Style Equity Strategies: Craft products that allow users to engage in high-conviction, high-risk strategies (e.g., leverage, synthetic exposure, new forms of yield) within a compliant and user-centric framework.
  • Unlock Equities as Spendable Money: Partner with internal teams to enable functionality for holding, sending, and potentially spending equities, treating them as liquid assets in users’ portfolios.
  • Drive Product Execution Across Frontend & Backend: Translate strategic vision into scoped product work, write clear specifications, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship iteratively with engineering and design partners.
  • Act as the Cross-Functional Glue: Collaborate closely with Development, Legal, Compliance, and Operations to ensure product requirements and flows account for platform constraints and opportunities. Balance innovation and user experience with compliance, proactively identifying risk/reward trade-offs and ensuring product decisions align with regulatory requirements without sacrificing speed or creativity.
  • Serve Both Kraken Pro and Consumer Use Cases: Balance the needs of professional traders and casual investors, delivering differentiated experiences where needed and shared infrastructure where possible.
  • Stay Close to the Market: Be obsessive about user feedback, market trends, and competitive intelligence, constantly iterating and improving the product.
