Role Mission:
As a Technical Product Manager for the Ledger Service team, you will own the strategy and development of Kraken’s ledger infrastructure. This is the system that records every financial event, ensures balance correctness and provides an immutable, auditable source of truth across all regions and markets.
Your mission is to build and scale a robust, transparent and highly reliable bookkeeping platform that guarantees data integrity, supports regulatory compliance, and enables Kraken to operate and expand globally.
What You'll Do:
- Own and refine the long-term product vision for Kraken's core ledger system
- Translate regulatory requirements, internal operational needs and system constraints into a clear, scalable product roadmap
- Together with the engineering team you own the development of the core ledger system, ensuring that it meets requirements that support users needs
- Ensure ledgers are designed for scalability, reliability and global use across markets and clients
- The ledger systems you will own are primarily used by internal teams, who build client-facing functionality on top.
- This role is about enabling other teams through reliable, scalable financial infrastructure
- Translate complex financial and operational requirements into clear technical specifications and scalable system designs
