The Team

We’re looking for an experienced, mixed-methods Senior UX Researcher to join our UX Research Team and help us explore, understand and reinvent everything from the way money works, to a bunch of even more ambitious things we can’t talk about yet! We’re looking for an inquisitive, independent explorer who believes in a tomorrow where cryptocurrency spreads wealth, inclusively and enables new forms of creativity.

By joining the UX Research Team at Kraken you will play an important part in shaping the future of how the world sees and uses digital currency. UX research is fundamental in helping us understand how we can serve our clients needs and delight them along the way. By joining our team you will help to discover and define those needs and work cross-functionally to help teams to meet and exceed them.

We’re looking for a mixed-methods expert who is resolute about making sure their research makes a positive impact. A researcher who is experienced, well-rounded, detailed, passionate and flexible.

The UX Research Team is a small, in-demand team within a fast-paced company, so the ideal candidate will need to be comfortable to hit the ground running and be flexible to the team – and the business’s – needs.

  • Act as the voice of our clients and make sure that we’re constantly solving real problems for them while delivering high quality, delightful experiences

  • Support Krakenites across multiple teams as a research partner, identifying where research can be most helpful, most impactful and where research is not the appropriate response to a problem

  • Support Krakenites in self-serving research to the point that they can conduct their own lightweight evaluative research while educating peers in research methodologies and helping to evangelise across the company

Skills you should HODL

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a human behavior related field such as Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Psychology, Sociology, Information Science, Computer Science, Economics, Cognitive Science, Behavioural Economics, Anthropology, Sociology or Psychology

  • 8+ years of relevant experience in mixed-methods UX Research and/or mixed-methods Product Research.
