The Team

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.

The Opportunity

• Own, implement, and continuously improve IAM tooling like Okta and ConductorOne across the enterprise
• 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

Skills You Should HODL

• 2+ years of experience using Terraform to manage IAM infrastructure at scale
• 2+ years of experience managing an Okta tenant with 1,000+ users, including best practices for SSO, MFA, and policy control
• 2+ years of experience writing scripts for common operational tasks such as generating reports or manipulating data from APIs
• 2+ years working with IGA platforms such as SailPoint, ConductorOne, Lumos, etc.
• 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

Nice to Haves

• Experience with the full IAM project lifecycle: requirements, design, testing, and change management
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g. SOX, PCI, ISO) and supporting access certification efforts
• Experience designing and implementing ABAC or RBAC models
• Understanding of Zero Trust security architecture
