Proof of work

The team

Breakout Prop is a crypto-native proprietary trading platform backed by Kraken. Founded in 2023 by industry veterans, we combine deep liquidity, cutting-edge technology, and world-class risk management to create an unparalleled trading experience. Recently acquired by Kraken, we now have access to global infrastructure and a trusted brand, and we're at a pivotal stage, having demonstrated exceptional growth and revenue performance.

We're a lean, high-conviction team of 35 where every hire genuinely shapes the company. Data sits at the heart of how we trade, how we manage risk, and how we make decisions, which means this role isn't a support function, it's a core part of our competitive edge.

You'll work alongside traders, engineers, and operators who move fast, think rigorously, and hold each other to a high bar. If you want to build something that matters in a space that moves quickly, this is the team.

Reporting directly to the COO, the VP of Data will take what's been built and evolve it into a mature, company-wide capability.

The opportunity

• Take ownership of an existing data function and scale it to match Breakout's next stage of growth

• Report directly to the COO with full mandate to elevate data maturity across the business

• Evolve current pipelines and infrastructure into a reliable, scalable data platform

• Expand self-serve analytics so every team can access insight without depending on engineering

• Grow and lead the data team, hiring, mentoring, and setting the bar for craft

• Establish data governance, quality standards, and a shared data model that the whole company trusts
