The Department: Product Engagement

The Role: Senior Software Engineer (Backend)

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll help solve complex problems that will directly influence the direction of the digital asset space. We are a team of self-starters, self-driven owners. There’s a wide range of problems to solve at Gemini – from properly securing millions of dollars worth of customer funds, to developing innovative new blockchain products, to building highly-available and high-scale systems on the cloud, to building anomaly detection models to identify risky behavior. We have a strong culture of code reviews, and a focus on security, with the end goal of writing and shipping high-quality code by getting things right the first time. We want to continue building the best product we can as we scale and grow our business. If you get excited about solving technical challenges that directly impact our customers, clients, and the rest of the Gemini team, we’d love to hear from you.

This role is required to be in person twice a week at either our San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY office.

Responsibilities:

• Develop new products and product features on the Gemini platform, as part of a tight knit team of about eight developers, as well document designs.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to design and deliver high-quality features on the website.
• Build efficient and reusable UI components and architect reliable, performant, and maintainable solutions. Review other software engineers’ code for correctness, style, and information security concerns.
• Author high quality code, and review other software engineers’ code for correctness, style, and information security concerns.
• Improve the performance, maintainability, and operations of the Gemini code base by engaging in occasional refactoring and upgrade projects.

Minimum Qualifications:

• At least 6 years of software engineering experience.
• A customer and product-focused mindset, with the ability to make well-reasoned tradeoffs between speed and quality.
• Experience with Cloud technologies and providers like AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• The ability to work closely across teams and manage dependencies.
• The ability to adapt and handle multiple competing priorities in collaboration with peers.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Work experience or knowledge of the finance industry, payments, trading and/or exchange systems.

This range is not inclusive of our discretionary bonus or equity package. When determining a candidate’s compensation, we consider a number of factors including skillset, experience, job scope, and current market data.

In the United States, we offer a hybrid work approach at our hub offices, balancing the benefits of in-person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work.
