I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kraken (Berlin) in Sept 2025
Interview
The process had 4 stages:
1) Initial interview the HR team member to get a general overview of the company and review my experience/qualifications,
2) Interview with 2 team members in similar roles to go over the position in more detail and discuss my fit and motivation
3) Use Case interview with 2 different team members in which I prepared a short presentation on a typical challenge someone in the position might face and how I would handle it.
4) Interview with potential senior team member that I would be working with to discuss details of the specific team composition, near and long term goals/challenges and where I might be able to contribute.
Le processus d’entretien a été rapide et fluide. Tout le monde est très professionnel, en particulier l’équipe RH, qui est réactive et attentive tout au long du processus. J’ai passé plusieurs entretiens avec l’équipe, incluant un approfondissement de mon expérience et une étude de cas qui m’a permis de mieux comprendre le poste et ses enjeux.
