We hire for ownership and intensity. We expect excellence. We give people room to build and the freedom to go deep. That’s the foundation of our culture and the reason Kraken keeps moving fast while others slow down.
But high performance comes with self-awareness. The same drive that pushes people to do great work also makes them restless when it’s time for their next chapter. We want to make that transition as intentional as every other part of the Kraken experience. That’s why we built Sail Away.
Sail Away is a voluntary offboarding program for Krakenites who decide it’s time for something new.
It offers a paid transition period, continued benefits, and professional career support. It’s not a safety net. It’s a statement of respect.
Freedom isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we practice. We trust people to know when they’re in the right place, and when it’s time to move on.
We believe in clarity. We’d rather help someone launch their next adventure with support and gratitude than pretend everything is fine. That’s what Sail Away represents: confidence in our people and confidence in our culture.
If you leave Kraken, you leave with our respect and our backing. You stay part of a network of builders who have helped shape one of the most important missions in crypto. And just because you’re sailing away now doesn’t mean the journey with Kraken is over forever. It may not be the right place for you in this season, but seasons change. We keep the door open for those who’ve made a mark here, and we welcome the possibility of high-performing alumni returning in the future.
If you stay, you’re choosing to be here for the right reasons — to build the future of finance.
Culture is what happens when no one is watching. It’s the tone we set in how we treat each other and how we handle change. If you want to understand the heart of Kraken, read Kraken Culture Explained.
It’s about freedom, accountability and results. Sail Away is one more way we live those values.
If you’re looking for comfort, there are easier places to work. If you’re looking for purpose, ownership and real impact, come build with us.
