Company mission

To unlock the next era of financial, creative and personal freedom

Role

Who you are

  • At least 2+ 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

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 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
  • Develop new products and product features on the Gemini platform,
  • 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

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

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.
