Cover Letter for Frontend Developer Role at Kraken

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Frontend Developer position at Kraken, as advertised. With over seven years of experience in frontend development and a strong proficiency in JavaScript, React, React Native, and Next.js, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your innovative team.

I thrive in collaborative environments and am particularly drawn to Kraken's cutting-edge projects and dynamic team. I am confident that my skills and experience align well with the requirements of this role and that I can make a valuable contribution to your team.

  1. What were your thoughts about the Kraken Culture Doc? What do you like about our Mission and why does it resonate with you?
    I found the Kraken Culture Doc to be highly inspiring and aligned with my professional values. The emphasis on security, transparency, and user empowerment strongly resonates with me. Kraken's mission to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency so that you and the rest of the world can achieve financial freedom and inclusion is compelling. This mission resonates with me because I believe in the transformative power of blockchain technology and its potential to create a more equitable financial system. I am particularly drawn to Kraken's commitment to providing a secure, transparent, and user-centric platform, which aligns with my passion for developing solutions that prioritize user experience and trust.
  2. As a Frontend Engineer we'd love to hear your opinion on one of our main public facing apps (Kraken, Pro, Wallet). Please also tell us about one thing you'd potentially change. This could be as high level or technical as you like.
    One potential area for improvement is the customization of the dashboard. While the current layout is effective, offering users more control over personalizing their dashboard could enhance their experience. For instance, implementing drag-and-drop functionality to rearrange widgets or the ability to create custom views based on individual trading preferences could provide a more tailored and efficient experience.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to Kraken's success.

Sincerely,
Vasyl Putra
