Role

Who you are

  • At least 1+ years of software engineering experience
  • Advanced proficiency in at least one language. We mostly use React 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

Desirable

  • 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

What the job involves

  • As an engineer on our frontend web team, you’ll architect and solve complex problems that will directly influence the direction of the credit card space
  • There's a wide range of challenges to tackle – from ensuring the secure handling of millions of dollars worth of customer transactions, to developing innovative new credit card features, to optimizing our API response times to enhance the customer experience
  • 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
  • As we scale and grow our business, we are committed to building the best credit card products in the industry
  • Develop new products and features for the Gemini Credit Card web page
  • Write and maintain tests to ensure the functionality and accuracy of new product features
  • Provide technical input to the planning, design, and requirements processes for new products and features
  • Review and provide feedback on code from other software engineers, focusing on correctness, effectiveness, style, and security within the credit card domain
  • Improve the performance, maintainability, and operational efficiency of the Gemini codebase through refactoring and upgrades, ensuring alignment with the latest design systems and industry standards
  • Support your team’s production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report

Our take

Gemini is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that's known for offering excellent security as well as being available across the US, including in New York - a state not often covered by crypto exchanges.

As a trading platform, Gemini is one of many, but a dedication to innovation and a commitment to working within FCA regulations are what make it stand out from the crowd. After acquiring Blockrize in 2021, the company launched a credit card for US customers that enables them to earn a small percentage of spending back in bitcoin rewards. They also launched the Gemini dollar, a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, that combines the price stability of the US dollar with the technological advantages of a cryptocurrency.

The crypto exchange market is crowded with exchange platforms, and Gemini's competitors include giants like Coinbase. However, by operating within regulations and with the recent announcement of its official registration as a digital asset service provider in Europe (where it serves more than a dozen countries), Gemini is in a strong position to face the continued crackdown on unauthorized activity in this market and make a space for itself in the DeFi future.
