# Full Remote] Software Engineer - Rust - Core Engineering

- **Company:** Crypto Our Krakenites
- **Location:** Spain (Remote available)
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Clean Code Principles, Application Layers, Software Debugging, Distributed Systems, Fault Tolerance, Network Service, Software Engineering, Event Driven Architecture, Apache Kafka
- **Published:** November 6, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.es/details/5954142098

## About the Role

* 3+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally building and scaling shared systems, internal platforms, and supporting multiple product roadmaps
 * Proficiency in writing network services or asynchronous code in Rust
 * Demonstrated commitment to a security-first mindset when designing systems
 * Capability to autonomously debug issues across the stack, including OS, network, and application layers
 * Familiarity with distributed systems and technologies, including RPC protocols, Kafka, and Event Driven Systems

## Description

Our Platform and Core Engineering teams build the systems that make Kraken secure, resilient, and scalable. Their impact isn't measured by customer-facing features, but by the strength, correctness, and leverage of the foundations they create. These teams power Kraken systems behind the scenes - enabling product teams to move fast while meeting the highest standards for reliability, compliance, and security. Engineers design shared services, internal platforms, and critical infrastructure that support company-wide initiatives. They optimize for safety, scalability, observability, auditability, and operational excellence - often operating in regulated, security-sensitive, and risk-heavy environments where precision matters. We're looking for engineers with deep systems ownership and an architecture-first mindset - builders who take pride in long-lived services, thrive in complex environments, and are motivated by strengthening the backbone of the crypto ecosystem.

The opportunity

 * Design and implement robust Rust services and foundational libraries that power Kraken's core infrastructure, prioritizing correctness, security, and long-term maintainability.
 * Write reusable, testable, and highly efficient code built for scale, observability, and operational resilience in production environments.
 * Collaborate on large-scale distributed systems architecture, shaping low-latency, fault-tolerant services that support global trading and internal platforms.
 * Work alongside hundreds of experienced Rust engineers, contributing to a high-bar engineering culture grounded in ownership, rigor, and craftsmanship.
