Job description

Gemini is a global crypto and Web3 platform founded by Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss in 2014. Gemini offers a wide range of crypto products and services for individuals and institutions in over 70 countries.

Crypto is about giving you greater choice, independence, and opportunity. We are here to help you on your journey. We build crypto products that are simple, elegant, and secure. Whether you are an individual or an institution, we help you buy, sell, and store your bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

At Gemini, our mission is to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom.

The Department: Onchain

Our team’s mission is to enable Gemini’s internal and external users to seamlessly interact with blockchain networks in a stable, secure, straightforward way. The Onchain group builds Gemini’s onramps to the blockchain “from CSS to ECDSA.” Our teams are solving problems across the entire crypto product user journey, including the user experience of crypto transfers, custody and staking down to the lowest levels of blockchain protocols and cryptographic signing algorithms. Our systems facilitate on-chain transactions for billions of USD worth of digital assets using state-of-the-art technology and security. We have openings across many of our teams, including Asset Transfers, Staking, Cloud Wallets, Protocols, Signing, and Blockchain Infrastructure. The teams are small, capable, agile, and have extensive ownership of the systems and solutions. We are continually growing, solving unique problems, and discovering new opportunities.

The Role: Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Onchain domain, you will work with talented engineers to enhance and expand the features of our blockchain-based products and the supporting platforms, including the Staking, Transfers, and Custody products. You will participate in solutioning for new features and products, helping to drive innovation to bring new value to users. You will contribute to the technical direction and engineering culture within your product team, leveling-up junior engineers in the process. You will also help drive operational excellence in our systems and processes. Our goal is to design, develop, deploy, and support user-facing distributed systems that serve millions of users, with a focus on safety, security, and user experience. We believe in fixing what's broken, automating wherever possible, and constantly improving our processes.

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

Responsibilities:

• Participate in the design, development, and deployment of new features for your team
• Research and integrate new blockchain technologies, concepts, and solutions
• Contribute to the high availability, reliability, and security of our systems
• Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and share best practices
• Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in the crypto and blockchain space

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• 6+ years of experience in software development with typed languages such as: Scala, Java or C# C++
• Proven track record of developing and maintaining large-scale, distributed systems
• Experience with agile development methodologies and a commitment to following best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure
• Familiarity with cloud technologies and microservices architecture

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in the crypto or fintech industry
• Understanding of blockchain technologies and crypto wallets
• Leadership experience or a strong interest in mentoring junior team members

It Pays to Work Here

The compensation & benefits package for this role includes:

• A discretionary annual bonus
• Long-term incentive in the form of a new hire equity grant
• 401K with company matching
• Flexible time off

Salary Range: The base salary range for this role is between $140,000 - $200,000 in the State of New York, the State of California and the State of Washington. 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 have a flexible hybrid work policy for employees who live within 30 miles of our office headquartered in New York City and our office in Seattle. Employees within the New York and Seattle metropolitan areas are expected to work from the designated office twice a week, unless there is a job-specific requirement to be in the office every workday. Employees outside of these areas are considered part of our remote-first workforce. We believe our hybrid approach for those near our NYC and Seattle offices increases productivity through more in-person collaboration where possible.

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. Equal Opportunity is the Law, and Gemini is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. If you have a specific need that requires accommodation, please let a member of the People Team know.
