About the Position

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with expertise in React Native to join our Consumer team focused on Asian Markets. This role involves building high-quality features and shaping financial experiences.

---

Responsibilities

• Build and own high-quality React Native features end to end, from ambiguous client problems and solution design through implementation, launch, measurement, and iteration.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to shape thoughtful, responsive, and trustworthy financial experiences, including product discovery, trading, and simplified client journeys.
• Work with APIs and dynamic or real-time data, making strong decisions on state management, rendering, performance, architecture, and reliability.
• Raise the product-engineering bar through technical discussions, code reviews, collaboration, strong product ownership, and a willingness to move between product and technical challenges.
• Help build Kraken’s new app for Asian markets. Act as the team’s subject-matter guide on regional UX and design expectations, practical approaches to firewall and connectivity restrictions, and appropriate vendors and tooling such as telemetry solutions.

---

Requirements

• Strong React Native experience, including shipping meaningful production applications and making sound architectural and implementation decisions in a modern mobile codebase.
• A product-building mindset and strong product judgment. You start with the client problem, challenge or simplify requirements when needed, and turn loosely defined problems into measurable product outcomes.
• End-to-end feature ownership, with the ability to use metrics, experimentation, client behavior, and feedback to assess and improve what you ship.
• Experience building responsive, data-rich applications using APIs and dynamic or real-time data, alongside close collaboration with Product and Design in written and verbal English.
• Versatility and thoughtful AI use. You are comfortable wearing multiple hats and use tools such as Cursor, Copilot, or Claude to work faster while retaining responsibility for engineering judgment and quality.
• Proven experience building and shipping consumer mobile apps for Asian markets. You understand the region’s UX and design conventions, its technical limitations, and how to navigate launch challenges including firewall and connectivity restrictions. You can clearly explain how you have solved these problems before.

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech, trading, crypto, payments, or another financial technology environment, with an understanding of trading, investing, or financial products.
• Experience with real-time or streaming data, and improving mobile application performance, responsiveness, and reliability across a range of devices.
• Experience across both mobile and web, or in a startup or small-to-medium-sized technology company where engineers work closely with Product and Design.
• Native mobile experience in Swift or Kotlin, including sound judgment about when to work below the React Native layer.
• Chinese language proficiency, such as Mandarin, or another Asian language.
