Job description
About the Company
Gemini is a global crypto and Web3 platform founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2014, offering a wide range of simple, reliable, and secure crypto products and services to individuals and institutions in over 70 countries. Our mission is to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom by providing trusted access to the decentralized future. We envision a world where crypto reshapes the global financial system, internet, and money to create greater choice, independence, and opportunity for all — bridging traditional finance with the emerging cryptoeconomy in a way that is more open, fair, and secure.
The Department: Trading
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’s OTC Trading team 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, and settlement of crypto.
The Role: Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)
Our institutional OTC Trading platform serves as a gateway from traditional financial services into the digital asset ecosystem. As a software engineer, you will 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.
This role is required to be in person twice a week at either our Seattle, WA, New York City, NY, or Miami, FL office.
Responsibilities:
- Conceive, assemble, and deliver the financial platform that meets the OTC team’s functional and business requirements for our global broker/dealer platform
- Build out our global liquidity network at scale across the key financial centers world wide
- Cultivate best practices and collaborate with engineering teams structuring applications
- Realize and promote the domain model and architecture for our broker/dealer platform
- Leverage key software systems and services from across Gemini’s portfolio of exchange, settlement, and custodian technologies
Minimum Qualifications:
- Proficiency with Golang and Typescript (React)
- At least 6 years experience in in front end development, with a strong focus on design, development, and delivery of scalable, distributed systems
- Experience building microservices deployed on AWS and Kubernetes
- Track record of working with a distributed design and development effort
- 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
- Understanding of communication protocols, specifically FIX, Websocket, REST and GraphQL
Preferred Qualifications:
- Understanding of centralized financial exchanges (CeFi)
- Understanding of central limit order books and other liquidity providers
It Pays to Work Here
The compensation & benefits package for this role includes:
- Competitive starting salary
- A discretionary annual bonus
- Long-term incentive in the form of a new hire equity grant
- Comprehensive health plans
- 401K with company matching
- Paid Parental Leave
- Flexible time off
Salary Range: The base salary range for this role is between $140,000 - $200,000 in the State of New York, the State of California and the State of Washington. This range is not inclusive of our discretionary bonus or equity package. When determining a candidate’s compensation, we consider a number of factors including skillset, experience, job scope, and current market data.
In the United States, employees within the New York, Seattle, and Miami metropolitan areas are expected to work from the designated office twice a week, unless there is a job-specific requirement to be in the office every work day. We believe our hybrid approach for those near our NYC, Seattle, and Miami offices increases productivity through more in-person collaboration where possible. Employees outside of these areas are considered part of our remote-first workforce.
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. Equal Opportunity is the Law, and Gemini is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. If you have a specific need that requires accommodation, please let a member of the People Team know.
