The Role: Senior Software Engineer

As an engineer on the team, you’ll architect and solve complex problems that will directly influence the direction of the digital asset space. 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 shaving microseconds off our API response times. 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.

Responsibilities:

• Develop new products and product features on the Gemini platform, as part of a tight knit team of two to eight developers.
• Write automated tests and work with our QA team to ensure the operation and correctness of new product features.
• Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features.
• 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.
• Support your team’s production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report.
• Design, develop and test operating systems level software.
• Oversee general functionality of the risk systems and the utilization or development of new monitoring tools for tracking and reporting performance.

• Plan and coordinate project implementation support efforts and estimate work efforts and schedule for supporting project development and deployment.

Minimum Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of software engineering experience.
• Advanced proficiency in at least one language. We use mostly Scala and C++ on our backend and Typescript on the frontend – it’s great if you’re comfortable in those or if you’re willing to learn.
• The ability to work closely across teams and manage dependencies.
• A customer and product-focused mindset, with the ability to make well-reasoned tradeoffs between speed and quality.
• The ability to adapt and handle multiple competing priorities in collaboration with peers.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with or being a power user of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and/or blockchain technology.
• Work experience or knowledge of the finance industry, payments, trading and/or exchange systems.

• Competitive starting pay
• A discretionary annual bonus

Salary Range: The base salary range for this role is between $140,000 - $200,000 in the State of New York. 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. Expectations may vary by location and role, so candidates are encouraged to connect with their recruiter to learn more about the specific policy for the role. Employees who do not live near one of our hubs are part of our remote workforce. All employees, however, are required to onboard in-person at one of our office locations.

At Gemini, we strive to build diverse teams that reflect the people we want to empower through our products, and we are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status.
