Job Description

• Architect and own Kraken’s automation platform, with hands-on development in n8n and complementary no-code/low-code tooling. • Design and implement end-to-end workflow automations spanning Finance, Compliance, Product, Operations, Engineering, Support, and more. • Identify operational inefficiencies and build scalable automations that remove manual work and reduce errors. • Build both code and no-code automations, selecting the right approach based on complexity and long-term durability. • Partner closely with Business Operations to deliver quick-win automations while broader engineering teams focus on larger enterprise initiatives. • Integrate internal and external systems, stitching together APIs, data sources, and tools into unified automated workflows. • Establish workflow standards, best practices, and monitoring frameworks to ensure long-term stability and observability. • Operate with high autonomy, moving from idea → scoping → design → build → test → deploy with minimal oversight. • Partner with leaders across the company to identify and execute high-impact automation opportunities. • Contribute to Kraken’s enterprise automation roadmap, informing future tooling and architectural decisions.

Job Requirements

  • Strong systems engineering background with experience architecting internal tooling or automation platforms.
  • Deep fluency with n8n (or equivalent workflow orchestration tools: Zapier, Make.com, Airflow, Prefect, Temporal).
  • Experience operating in startup or 0→1 environments, comfortable building structure where none exists.
  • Strong understanding of business processes and the ability to translate them into scalable technical workflows.
  • Proven ability to own problems end-to-end: discovery, scoping, technical design, implementation, QA, rollout, and maintenance.
  • Ability to work across code and no-code ecosystems, selecting the right tool for speed and long-term maintainability.
  • Experience integrating APIs, internal tools, third-party systems, and databases into automated workflows.
