About the Role
Youβll be joining the Industry group as a Product Manager of the Market Gateway product, focused on North American work.
The Market Gateway product is globally operational and is being developed to support Krakenβs clients across Europe, Australia, Asia, and North America.
The Market Gateway serves as Krakenβs central service for exchanging industry messages with external market participants (network operators, suppliers, system operators, etc.). βIndustry messagesβ vary in structure and format and, but, globally, they serve as a central means for exchanging critical data that allows Krakenβs clients to service their customers and operate in the utility space.
Β The core capabilities of the Market Gateway are:
- To exchange messages with external market participants via communication protocols such as REST API, SFTP, SOAP, or email. Exchange includes both sending and receiving messages.
- To ensure secure message exchanges and support the encryption and decryption of messages.
- To provide a standard interface for Kraken to interpret incoming messages and construct outgoing messages.
- To be highly scalable and responsive: the Market Gateway must always be available and able to support high volumes of large messages for multiple clients.
The Market Gateway has a current product manager focusing on work in Australia and Europe. In this role, you will focus on the Market Gatewayβs work in North America. This will involve leading the rollout and ongoing support of the Market Gateway product for North American clients.Β
Additionally, this role will involve the creation and support of a North American certification testing program. In the United States, before exchanging Production messages, market participants must orchestrate and complete robust certification tests to demonstrate they can exchange industry messages per protocol. We will need to provide utilities with a seamless way to conduct and participate in testing with one another.
