Sail Away: Freedom, Ownership, and the Kraken Way

We hire for ownership and enthusiasm. We expect excellence. We give people the room to build and the freedom to dig deep. It is the basis of our culture and why the Kraken continues to move fast while others slow down.

But high performance comes with self-awareness. The same drive that drives people to great work can also make them restless when it’s time for the next chapter. We want that transition to be intentional, just like 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 to start something new.

We offer a paid transition period, ongoing benefits, and professional career support. It’s not a safety net. It’s a word of respect.

Freedom is not just something we talk about. That’s what we practice. We believe people know when they’re in the right place and when it’s time to move on.

We believe in clarity. We would rather help someone embark on their next adventure with support and appreciation than pretend everything is fine. That’s what Sail Away represents. That means trust in our people and trust in our culture.

If you leave Kraken, you will leave with our respect and support. You will remain part of a network of builders who helped shape one of the most important missions in cryptocurrency. And just because you’re setting sail now doesn’t mean your journey with the Kraken is over forever. It may not be the right place for this season, but seasons change. We remain open to those who have made a mark here and welcome the possibility of high-achieving graduates returning in the future.

When you stay here, you choose to be here for the right reasons: building your financial future.

Culture is what happens when no one is looking. It’s the tone it sets for how we treat each other and how we deal with change. If you want to understand the nitty-gritty of Kraken, read Kraken Culture Explained.

It’s about freedom, responsibility, and consequences. Sail Away is another way we live these values.

If you’re looking for comfort, there are better places to work. If you’re looking for purpose, ownership and real impact, build with us.
