Kraken interview questions

Application I applied through Indeed. The process took 1 month. I interviewed at Kraken (UK) in Feb 2025 Interview 1st stage: Had a chat with a wonderful recruiter, set the stage for the whole interview process. Discussions about the company structure, team I would be working it, salary expectations and general question regarding motivation for joining the team. 2nd stage: Take home test. A django command line app for parsing file(s). Here, they evaluate you on taking on an ambiguous task and providing a scalable solution. Document your assumptions properly. 3rd stage: Further technical discussion about the task. Discussing approach, decisions taken and tradeoffs. How can the app be extended. 4th stage: The final stage. Focuses on your technical skills and the wider Python/Django ecosystem—discussions around ways of working. After the last interview, the offer came within 30 minutes. I really enjoyed working with my recruiter (Brad). He was super supportive.

The interview was done in 4 steps : - a short call with a talent partner from Kraken - very friendly and interesting - an assignment done at home - 4 hours longs - a real company problem to solve - an interview with 2 technical people from different teams - you discuss your assignment and some other technical subject - gives an idea about the company atmosphere - an interview with two managers - some technical questions were asked to see how you can explain to technical or non technical people After the last step is completed, you get an offer quickly.
