Role Overview
The Growth Foundations team is a new, dedicated team within Growth focused on establishing foundational frontend infrastructure, best practices, and component systems that serve Kraken’s entire .com platform.
What You Will Do
Design, build, and ship a comprehensive component library and design system using React.js and our custom-built CMS that serves as the foundation for all .com experiences. Build and document reusable, accessible components and integrate with our custom CMS to enable dynamic content management and component configuration across the platform.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You’ll ship a steady stream of projects rather than settle into long-term platform maintenance, and the work is very UI-heavy. You’ll establish and evolve frontend best practices, coding standards, and architectural patterns that become the model for development across the organization.
