  • Benefits that go beyond the basics

    Health insurance, parental leave top-up, professional development support, and extra staff holidays. Plus the little things that matter – great coffee, office snacks, and a dog-friendly workspace where your four-legged friend is always welcome.

What makes Kernel different?

  • We earn trust by doing the right thing - especially when it’s harder or slower. We’re transparent, accountable, and focused on long-term outcomes.

  • We rethink how finance works to make it more accessible, useful, and human. We’re curious, experimental, and data-informed

  • We succeed together, not in silos. We operate like a high performing team, not a family. We have high standards, clear roles, and we win or lose as a single unit.

  • We don't hide behind consensus. We take responsibility for our work, speak the truth, and make the hard calls.

  • We are building for humans, so we show up as humans. We foster a safe environment where talent never excuses arrogance
