Staff 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.

• Identify, coordinate and manage resolution efforts on processing usage issues.

• Own technical issues through resolution and implement solutions and recommendations based on business needs.

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

Minimum Qualifications:

• At least 8 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.
