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: Software Engineering

Gemini is regulated and licensed like a bank, but it’s run like a tech startup, and 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.

The Role: Senior Software Engineer, Compliance

The Compliance team at Gemini builds and maintains secure, reliable, scalable systems to provide visibility into Gemini customer’s identity, risk, transfers, and trading activity for the purpose of regulatory review.

As an engineer on our compliance team, you’ll be part of a tight knit team of three to eight developers.  You’ll architect and solve complex problems that will directly influence the direction of the compliance space. Crypto regulations are on the rise and this is a unique opportunity to take the lead on developing novel compliance features that are at the core of our mission and touch many components across the Gemini platform.

We have a strong culture of code reviews and a focus on security.  Our end goal is 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.  This role can be based in any of our New York or Chicago, offices as well as remotely in the United States.

Responsibilities:

• 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 alerts and/or bug reports.
• Work with stakeholders to understand their compliance needs and address any defects determined in the process.

Qualifications:

• At least 6 years of software engineering experience.
• Advanced proficiency and experience with Scala, Java or other JVM based languages
• Experience with AWS, GCP, Azure or equivalent public cloud infrastructure.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate as part of a highly distributed team 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.
• A great communicator with a knack for precisely and concisely explaining problems and solutions to multiple stakeholders, e.g. senior management, product managers, etc. 
• A drive to continuously learn and develop new technologies

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with a high growth, fast paced, Compliance department.
• Work experience or knowledge of the finance industry, payments, trading and/or exchange systems
