Kraken interview questions

The interview process has been a very pleasant, swift, well-informed process for me at every stage. It has been around a three week process from a simple online application to an offer. All of the interviews were conducted remotely via Google Meet which was very convenient. Amy Park, the Senior Talent Partner at Kraken is super friendly and she has been fantastic in supporting me through each of the stages with my first interview with herself directly and then for each of the other interviews she would brief me the focus points ahead of the interview and post interview by scheduling a call with me for my feedback. Even though it has been a 5-step process, each stage were a very straight forward experience: (1- HR interview, 2- Hiring Finance Manager, 3-Take home Case study – was a challenging exercise but felt like a real on the job task, 4- Review of case study approach with the Finance Manager and Senior FP&A Analyst and discussed how I work, then final interview with Head of Finance. All of the interviews were conducted in a conversational style format and I really appreciated this approach as I felt comfortable getting to know the team and speaking openly with each interviewer.

Recruiter Call -> Take home challenge -> Tech interview -> Team interview -> Offer Take home challenge was a mixture of vague requirement, reallife use-case at Kraken. As a Senior Software Engineer, I needed to look through that and have proper assumptions. It was not hard or time consuming (3/4 hours). After that in Tech interview, we discussed why I've assumed something, why I wrote the solution that way etc. Also some architecture related questions. It was more like a discussion, I enjoyed it. Then the next step was the Team interview. Discussed how day-to-day work is being done at Kraken, team responsibility etc. Finally offer.
