Descripción de la vacante

Kraken is seeking a Head of Exchange Infrastructure to own the layer that powers all Kraken products — the matching engine, core infrastructure, custody, algo and API engines. You will lead a small, senior product team and drive a unified, interface-agnostic platform that serves every product.

You will define the product vision, consolidate engines, set latency/throughput/uptime metrics, and partner with engineering and risk teams to migrate live markets with minimal disruption.

Formación

• Senior product leader with experience in exchange, trading, or high-performance platforms.
• Experience managing and developing product managers, on a team senior enough to run without you in the room.
• Excellent communication skills — can influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsabilidades

• Own the product vision and roadmap for the exchange layer: matching engine, core infrastructure, third-party custody, algo engine and API engine.
• Lead and grow a team of four to five product managers, and set the bar for product craft across the layer.
• Lead the consolidation of multiple matching engines into one, starting with US derivatives, then international derivatives, then spot.
• Build interface-agnostic platforms so every product team can build on the same platform.
• Define success metrics (p99 latency, throughput, uptime, resiliency) and hold teams accountable to them.
• Partner with engineering leaders to sequence migration without disrupting live markets.
• Partner with Risk and Credit Infrastructure so a client can hold one account and trade every product against it.
• Anticipate industry shifts and shape the platform to stay ahead.
• Align cross-functional teams around the exchange strategy.
