Sr. Data Analyst, Growth in London

Building the Future of Crypto. Our Krakenites are a world-class team with crypto conviction, united by our desire to discover and unlock the potential of crypto and blockchain technology. Kraken is a mission-focused company rooted in crypto values. As a Krakenite, you’ll join us on our mission to accelerate the global adoption of crypto, so that everyone can achieve financial freedom and inclusion.

As a fully remote company, we have Krakenites in 70+ countries who speak over 50 languages. Krakenites are industry pioneers who develop premium crypto products for experienced traders, institutions, and newcomers to the space. Kraken is committed to industry-leading security, crypto education, and world-class client support through our products like Kraken Pro, Desktop, Wallet, and Kraken Futures.

The data team is the infrastructure layer beneath every product decision. We're looking for a Senior Data Analyst, Growth to join our team remotely. This is a staff-level individual contributor role where you will own the Growth domain end to end. You won't just be answering questions; you'll be deciding which questions are worth asking, building the infrastructure to answer them at scale, and influencing the technical direction of the team along the way.

Experimentation is core to how we work. We run rigorous A/B tests, apply causal inference at scale and treat experimentation as a first-class discipline, not an afterthought. You'll own production-grade pipelines, dbt models, dashboards and metric frameworks. You'll define north star metrics, drive experimentation infrastructure and translate results into clear business recommendations.

At this level, we expect more and we expect it faster. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and set a bar that raises the team around you.

The Opportunity

• Operate as a full-stack data analyst within the Growth team, owning your domain completely while collaborating closely with colleagues across the pod.
• Own the design and evolution of dashboards, north star metrics and analytical frameworks that drive decisions at the highest level of the business.
• Build and maintain data infrastructure at scale, from scalable dbt models and production pipelines to full-funnel reporting that powers cross-functional teams.
• Lead experimentation across the Growth domain by designing and owning A/B testing frameworks, applying causal inference techniques and turning results into clear, confident recommendations that influence product and growth strategy.
• Influence technical direction across the data team, contributing to how we build, what we prioritise and how we raise the bar on data quality and engineering standards.
• Embed AI tooling into your workflow in ways that have tangible business impact, including LLM-augmented pipelines and GenAI-assisted analytics workflows.
• Deliver insights through clear, data-driven storytelling to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership.

Skills You Should HODL

• 10+ years of experience in data analytics or analytics engineering, ideally within fintech, payments, crypto or a high-scale marketplace where data quality and scale are non-negotiable.
• Proven track record of building and owning data infrastructure at scale, not just using it.
• Deep expertise with dbt is a must.
• Strong experience managing ELT/ETL pipelines end to end, with hands-on familiarity with Airflow or equivalent orchestration tools.
• Full mastery of SQL and strong Python proficiency for pipeline development, analysis and production-grade code.
• Deep hands-on experience designing, running and owning experimentation programmes including A/B testing frameworks and causal inference at scale.
• Experience deploying AI tools including LLM-augmented pipelines or GenAI-assisted workflows with demonstrable business impact.
• A track record of influencing technical direction and data strategy.
• Strong communicator who can simplify complex data ideas for both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership.
• A degree in a field emphasising analytical rigour such as software engineering, economics or a hard science.
• Based in Canada, the US, the UK or the EU and fluent in English.

Nice to haves

• Solid understanding of the cryptocurrency space and how financial markets function.
