Empower the Individual Through Crypto

Gemini is a crypto exchange and custodian that allows customers to buy, sell, store, and earn more than 30 cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ether, litecoin, and Zcash. Gemini is a New York trust company that is subject to the capital reserve requirements, cybersecurity requirements, and banking compliance standards set forth by the New York State Department of Financial Services and the New York Banking Law. Gemini was founded in 2014 by twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss to empower the individual through crypto.

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 want to help you buy, sell, and store your bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Crypto is not just a technology, it's a movement.

At Gemini, our mission is to empower the individual and that includes giving our employees flexibility of choice — our Office Optional Policy allows employees to choose to work from one of our physical locations or from home.


Select roles that are location-specific will still be eligible for flexible schedules.

The Department: Gemini Prime

Gemini is a regulated, full service, crypto service provider where engineering is the core of the company. There’s a wide range of tough problems to solve at Gemini – from properly securing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of customer funds, to developing innovative new blockchain products, to finding new techniques to combat fraud, to shaving microseconds off our API response times, and everything in between. 

All of Gemini’s engineers are able to work across the software platform, not just on their own specialization or subteam. We value a thoughtful, collaborative software development process, coupled with a pragmatic approach to problem solving and delivering software.

Gemini Prime is specifically focused on providing a capital market crypto service offering to institutional investors. We provide a software based platform that provides custody, access, trading, settlement & clearing and financing of crypto.

The Role: Staff Trading Services Engineer

Our institutional prime platform is the stargate for old world money to the metaverse of modern digital assets. As a staff level software engineer, you will lead, design, and implement a variety of software systems that motivate, execute, and settle, what is shaping up to be, the largest transfer of wealth from the past to the future. It is hard to find a more exhilarating place to design, code, test, and deliver software products than in the real time trading environment of the front office of financial institutions.

We are looking for a talented software engineer that is focused and fascinated by the real time movement of price and value at wire speed across a global liquidity network of buyers and sellers. In our realm, we converge the dimensions of time, relationship, and trust to deliver the safe exchange of assets at significant scale.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and deliver the financial platform that meets Prime’s functional and non-functional requirements for our global broker/dealer platform  
  • Lead and mentor a team of developers in building out our global liquidity network at scale across the key financial centers world wide.
  • Cultivate implementation best practices for a scalable event-based trading platform
  • Design and implement the domain model and architecture for our broker/dealer platform.
  • Identify and leverage key software systems and services from across Gemini’s portfolio of exchange, settlement, and custodian technologies.

Qualifications: 

  • Track record of building exchanges or trading systems
  • Track record of leading a distributed design and development team
  • Experience building algorithmic trading and applied stochastic control programs
  • Experience building microservice architecture in a hybrid cloud and on-prem infrastructure
  • Understanding of centralized (CeFi) and decentralized financial exchanges (DeFi) 
  • Understanding of central limit order books and automated market makers
  • Understanding of communication protocols, specifically TCP/IP, HTTP, Websocket, FIX
  • 5 years experience in design, development, and delivery of distributed applications
  • Strong analytical and conceptual skills with solid organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Engaging communicator with a knack for precision and conciseness
  • Independent decision maker able to act decisively based on your domain expertise
  • Proficiency with C++, Golang, Python, and/or Java

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working with Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchain technologies, best if with Ethereum Virtual Machine based blockchains
  • Experience working in a startup environment

It Pays to Work Here

We take a holistic approach to compensation at Gemini, which includes:

  • Competitive Compensation and Profit-Sharing Equity
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Retirement Plan Matching
  • Generous Parental leave
  • Comprehensive health plans
  • Training and professional development

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.
