CS Analysts effectively act as gatekeepers and investigators; assisting clients in regaining access to their Kraken accounts, ensuring illicit actors are kept at bay, and investigating suspicious activity. Analysts inspect back-end data, such as logs, metadata, and our risk engine as well as information provided by clients, and combine it to determine if we are in contact with the true account owner.
The CS Analyst I is an entry-level role for Krakenites developing foundational skills in client-facing security response. Analysts at this level primarily work on security cases incoming from clients, working closely with more senior team members to triage cases and gather insights into suspicious client activity across accounts, email, and platform interactions.
An ideal candidate will have very strong attention to detail, critical thinking skills and a healthy level of paranoia.
New analysts on the team start at Level 1. They are expected to complete a thorough analysis of accounts, and then forward the ticket to senior analysts who take the required actions. Level 1 is essentially our training ground with an estimated duration of 2 to 4 months. As new analysts grow in their roles, they will be expected to take on more sensitive actions, including removing locks and security features as required.
