Proof of work

The team

Cloud Security at Kraken is about designing guardrails that scale. We embed security into every layer of our stack - without getting in the way of growth, speed, or innovation. Our team is deeply technical, outcome-driven, and wired for collaboration across the business.

We work hands-on across AWS, GCP, and other cloud platforms - building tools, designing controls, and automating security into our infrastructure. Our goal is to make the secure choice the easy route for engineers. You’ll be architecting the solutions that protect our platforms, our customers, and our edge.

As a Cloud Security Engineer, you’ll take ownership of how we secure the cloud infrastructure that powers Kraken’s global platform. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building and integrating controls that enable teams to move fast without compromising security.

You’ll work closely with product and engineering teams across the company, helping them integrate secure practices into the platforms they build and operate. Your day-to-day will involve everything from shaping IAM strategy to improving cloud visibility, refining detection signals, and helping teams close the gaps that matter most.

The opportunity

• Design, implement, and manage security controls across AWS and GCP environments
• Work across the security organization to support incident response, threat detection, compliance, and security reviews in cloud environments
• Partner with development teams to identify risks and help implement effective mitigations
• Identify and assess cloud risks, prioritize them, and lead remediation through automation or policy
• Improve operational efficiency by reducing friction between security and delivery
• Implement and improve IAM controls to ensure appropriate access across teams, environments, and services
• Build scalable detection and monitoring into the fabric of our cloud infrastructure
• Evolve security standards and best practices through repeatable, well-documented approaches
  
  

Skills You Should HODL

• Deep experience securing cloud environments, with a strong focus on AWS
• Expertise in identity and access management (IAM), including designing least-privilege models, managing complex permission structures, and scaling access controls in dynamic environments
• Familiarity with cloud-native logging and visibility patterns, and how to integrate them into centralized detection and monitoring workflows
• Experience using CSPM tools with a focus on reducing noise and highlighting what really matters
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform
• Proficiency in scripting to automate, integrate, and accelerate workflows using Python or Bash
• The ability to use AI tooling as a force multiplier to move faster, solve problems, and increase impact
• Skilled at communicating across technical and non-technical teams, advocating for secure practices, and aligning security work with business priorities
• A bias towards action and a track record of driving security improvements from idea to execution
  
  

Nice to haves

• Experience with GCP or multi-cloud environments
• Exposure to Kubernetes security and workload protection
• Background in fintech, crypto, or regulated industries
• Experience scaling security programs in high-growth orgs
• Contribution to open-source cloud security tooling or research
