The team

Kraken is a market leader in one of today’s most innovative and rapidly growing industries. In our mission to accelerate the global adoption of cryptocurrencies, we understand that crypto isn’t straightforward for most people yet. This is where our localization team plays a key role to make crypto accessible to people anywhere in any language.

• Track and report localization impact on business metrics in key geos and growth initiatives.

• Interact with Localization Project Managers to scope out and facilitate localization quality and improvements across languages.

• Define and track success metrics for localization quality and efficiency.

• Understanding of testing automation tools or frameworks like Selenium, LambdaTest, Cypress.

• Ability to implement Jira, Slack and other automations to streamline the bug reporting, triage, and resolution process.

• Degree or equivalent training/experience in Localization, Engineering, Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or related technical field.
