I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange in Jun 2026
Interview
Interviews focused on practical knowledge, critical thinking and systems design. The recruiters were very helpful and the process was clearly communicated from the start.
A quick initial screening followed by a take home test, then a round covering my submission focused on discussing the design and choices made during the exercise, and a final conversation with the team around systems design and behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to explain my choice of SPSC queue, and go into more details on alternatives and where it fits vs something else.

I applied through other source.
The process took 3 weeks.
Interview
Overall, the interview itself wasn’t bad.
The interviewer was fine, and the interview wasn’t particularly difficult.
However, I encountered a very uncooperative recruiter, which made the overall interview process unpleasant.
(They didn’t inform me in advance about a canceled schedule, so I had to reschedule, and despite me saying the proposed time didn’t work, they became unresponsive.)
While the interview itself was not bad, the scheduling aspect made the overall experience feel unfriendly and frustrating.

Interview
The process took over a month (5 interviews / 1 interview per week). In the final stage, they informed me that they were considering me and another candidate, and then scheduled a final interview. In the end, they didn't choose either of us and reopened the position.
