Proof of work

The team

CS Analysts effectively act as gatekeepers and investigators; assisting clients in regaining access to their Kraken accounts, ensuring illicit actors are kept at bay, and investigating suspicious activity. Analysts inspect back-end data, such as logs, metadata, and our risk engine as well as information provided by clients, and combine it to determine if we are in contact with the true account owner.

The CS Analyst I is an entry-level role for Krakenites developing foundational skills in client-facing security response. Analysts at this level primarily work on security cases incoming from clients, working closely with more senior team members to triage cases and gather insights into suspicious client activity across accounts, email, and platform interactions.

An ideal candidate will have very strong attention to detail, critical thinking skills and a healthy level of paranoia.

New analysts on the team start at Level 1. They are expected to complete a thorough analysis of accounts, and then forward the ticket to senior analysts who take the required actions. Level 1 is essentially our training ground with an estimated duration of 2 to 4 months. As new analysts grow in their roles, they will be expected to take on more sensitive actions, including removing locks and security features as required.

The opportunity

• Deliver a high-quality experience that balances low client friction with strong security protocols
• Analyze cases and alerts to identify potential threats while minimizing false positives
• Communicate with clients primarily through email, addressing account access, security concerns, and general troubleshooting
• Stay current with procedural updates to effectively respond to evolving threats
• Suggest and help implement workflow improvements for clarity and efficiency
• Escalate overlapping or complex cases to appropriate teams such as Fraud, Compliance, Account Takeover, or Client Engagement
• Engage in a culture of constructive feedback and peer support
• Meet or exceed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) while maintaining strong performance metrics (KPIs)
• Attend training sessions and stay up to date on team, company, and industry knowledge
• Meet regularly with your supervisor and the QA team to review performance and alignment
• Understand and advocate for Kraken’s products to support ongoing platform improvements
• Additional duties and responsibilities as required
  
  

Skills You Should HODL

• Minimum 2 years of experience in customer service, security, or the crypto industry
• Experience working in a metrics-driven environment, meeting individual and team performance targets
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to make sound, timely judgment calls
• Ability to multitask and manage a high volume of requests while maintaining secure, accurate outputs
• Fluent English communication skills, both written and verbal
• Experience using and navigating multiple software tools and platforms (strong computer literacy)
• Ability to work independently and make decisions in a fast-paced environment
• Willingness to work evenings and weekends regularly as part of a recurring schedule
• Motivated by Kraken’s mission to deliver seamless support for a global client base
• Experience with crypto trading or investing, ideally across multiple platforms
  
  

Nice-to-haves

• Fluency in an additional language (e.g., French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, Korean)
• Experience with compliance, fraud, account access, legal, or similar operational domains
• Preference for working weekends
