• A Portfolio that Speaks Volumes: Show us the best of your portfolio which highlights your commitment to design quality, standards, and optimization
• Technical Design Insight: More than mastering Figma, you possess a keen understanding of how design integrates with code. Familiarity with HTML & CSS is essential, and experience with React + JSON is a welcome bonus but not required
• While we don't expect you to write production-ready code (it’s certainly a bonus if you can), your awareness of what's technically feasible in web, along with optimization for performance, is vital to our team's success
• Understanding of UI/UX for front-facing consumer websites: Proficient in creating user-centered designs that align with marketing goals, with a keen understanding of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) principles
• Information Architecture Awareness: Demonstrated ability to structure and organize web content, creating intuitive navigation and positive user experiences
• Adherence to Standards: A firm grasp of W3C standards, ensuring that designs comply with industry guidelines and best practices for accessibility, usability, and cross-browser compatibility
• Collaborative Spirit and Open-Minded Approach: Thrive in our evolving design team, with an emphasis on continuous learning and egoless collaboration
• History of Satisfied Collaborations: Demonstrate a track record of successful partnerships with colleagues who would eagerly work with you again

• We’re a multidisciplinary team of designers and coders who bring front-end web experiences to life
• We craft not just beautiful interfaces but functional, high-performance experiences that feel effortless in the browser
• From fluid animations to pixel-perfect layouts, we obsess over the details that make the web feel intuitive and engaging
• We’re not just pushing pixels, we’re pushing boundaries
• We need the rare hybrids: designers who don’t just envision, but build
• Whether it’s with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or cutting-edge animations, you’ll be at the helm of your designs from concept to execution
• Lead the creation of essential web experiences and marketing pages that are designed to drive customer engagement and conversion
• Create high quality, delightful experiences with designers, researchers, product managers, content specialists, and engineers
• Balance business objectives, customer needs, insights and technical constraints to produce data-informed outcomes
• Take concepts from research, to exploration, to prototypes, to production
• Actively participate in design reviews both seeking and giving meaningful and supportive feedback
• Take full accountability for your work and exercise consideration of every detail
• Contribute to the definition and expansion of new and existing design systems
• Utilize data to drive brand strategy and product growth; analyze and interpret data to create compelling concepts and presentations, sharing insights with executives to shape and propel our brand forward

• Work where you want: 90% of Krakenites work remotely, we believe people do their best work wherever they're happiest
• Flexibility and Autonomy: We are highly results-focused vs. time-focused. We want you to work when and how you need to keep you at your most proactive
• We value diversity: Our Team is spread across 60 countries. By joining Kraken you'll be part of a truly multicultural organization that values diversity and inclusion
• A new approach to salary: Kraken prides itself on being at the forefront of crypto innovation, and that means the majority of our workforce has the option to be paid in bitcoin
