About the company

Gemini is a regulated cryptocurrency exchange, wallet, and custodian that makes it simple and secure to buy bitcoin, ether, and other cryptocurrencies.

Job Summary

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: Principal Software Engineer, Custody Team

Security of customers’ digital assets and personal information held with Gemini is our first and foremost priority. The Custody team at Gemini develops and manages security tools and platforms, assists users to design and assess the security internal systems, and builds automation to simplify manual or complex processes. This team works with other Gemini stakeholders to simplify the use of cryptographic software and hardware.

In our work, we work with stakeholders who wish to store digital assets in our custodian storage systems, determine the best approach for using these storage systems, implement tools and approaches to support needs, and then maintain these tools and approaches. Example applications include the support of a new network like Solana or Monero and their integration into our Custodian platform. This engineer will also work closely with various teams including our Custodial Security Operations, Signing, Asset storage, Product Security, Wallet Engineering, and Platform Engineering teams.

We are a dynamic group with both entrepreneurial spirit and security engineering experience. We have incredibly high aspirations, and we are looking for like-minded individuals who want to guide the transition to a new more decentralized world where access to digital assets is normalized and ubiquitous.

Design, implement, deploy, and maintain software supporting new cryptocurrency networks or tokens that interact with our Custody platform For the custody platform, perform fee forensics, implement fee computation, and implement/maintain fee billing Integrate the use of hardware security mechanisms into the secure build infrastructure. Example hardware security mechanisms include a trusted platform module (TPM), hardware security module (HSM), trusted execution environment (TEE), smartcard, and/or other similar hardware key storage mechanisms. Example applications of these mechanisms include key storage, signing, encryption, code attestation, and secure boot. Improve the capabilities of the existing signing security infrastructure with a mindset towards infrastructure as code Develop tools and automation that integrate security into systems and process Participate in disaster recovery (DR) scenarios to validate operability of physical and digital material
